Lanzarote Holiday Apartments

Sunday 4th July 2010

It seems that holidaymakers are planning their late summer break already as we have seen a big surge in enquiries for holiday rentals in the Canary Islands, especially holiday apartments in Lanzarote.

 

Regulars to the island say that September and October are the best months to visit Lanzarote. Apparently the prevailing North Easterly Trade Winds, which blow across the island from March through to August, drop considerably in September/October. The sea is at its warmest and air temperatures still average around twenty-three degrees Celsius.

 

Lanzarote holiday rentals are a very popular beach holiday destination. The three main resorts, Costa Teguise, Puerto del Carmen and Playa Blanca have an excellent selection of Blue Flag beaches. They are well maintained, cleaned regularly and offer all of the usual facilities, such as loungers, sun shades and toilets.

 

So if its some late summer sun you are looking for why not browse our comprehensive selection of Lanzarote beach accommodation!

Brittany holiday accommodation and villas in the south of France are proving to be the most popular, however apartments in Cannes are also receiving an increase in enquiries.

 

There is also a higher than normal demand for holiday apartments in Turkey and beachfront villas in Turkey. It seems that a lot of holidaymakers this year have left it until after the general election in the UK to start making plansfor this years summer holiday.

The Affordable Beachfront Villa

Wednesday 31st March 2010

It's the holy grail of villa rentals: A home smack on the beach, where your terrace is just a shell's throw from the sand and where the first thing you see as you awake in the morning is your favourite colour sea. And of all the features a villa can have, a beachfront is the one that increases the price. But if you're clever and ready to negotiate the deals are there!

 

Go where supply exceeds demand

Try avoiding destinations where the demand for villas outweighs the supply and flights to get there can be pricey. Choose more trafficked places, where supply exceeds demand and affordable nonstop services are available from most cities. Even the obvious resorts which are sometimes overbuilt in parts, offer plenty of scenic drives, great views and hidden-gem beaches with authentic local cuisine... if you know where to go. And consider the length of the rental season: Destinations where villas are filled three to five months of the year, such as Italy, are pricier than those where the season lasts eight or nine months, ie, the Caribbean. Go where your currency is strong - it will stretch a lot further in say Thailand.

 

Consider sharing amenities

Another way to get beachfront value is to rent a villa that's not a freestanding house but rather a unit in a set of residences. Most unattached beachfront rentals have more than three bedrooms and represent value only if you can fill every bed but when you need just two or three bedrooms on a beach, it often makes sense to rent a residence that splits the cost of the amenities with other units. They may share a concierge desk, a gym, a parking garage and a housekeeper but have its own private pool and terrace. Sometimes there are no other buildings in sight, so you feel like your own was the only one on the beach.

 

Look for adjustable rates

Another tactic is to rent a property with adjustable rates, where the price depends upon how many bedrooms you occupy. With some you can pay a lower rate by renting only a portion of the rooms, yet you get the entire property to yourself. Even when adjustable rates aren't published, try to negotiate for them, they could agree depending on the season or demand. And when you're trying to snag cheap airline tickets date flexibility is key. You might manage to reduce airfares by 50% if you negotiate 5 days instead of a mandatory week!

 

Prioritise your wish list

Decide which features and amenities you're willing to give-up. For instance, beachfront villas are not too expensive if you're willing to do without a pool. If what matters most is a panoramic ocean view, you'll save money by renting atop a hill and driving three minutes to the beach. Or choose a house that's waterfront but requires a five-minute walk down a path to get to the beach.

 

So what are you waiting for..... Go for it!
