If you enjoy the water, Lanzarote offers action-packed adventure from windsurfing and parasailing to jet skiing and scuba diving. Fishing expeditions and sailing trips are also available, as well as dolphin and whale watching outings - all of which can be booked at the Marina. For something more relaxing, you might try the modern thalasso-therapy centre at the Iberostar hotel, just opposite the complex. The treatments offer Finnish sauna, Turkish bath, massage, algae, mud therapies, hairdressers and beauty salon. Puerto del Carmen which is more of a tourist centre is about 2km away. Here you will find many bars, clubs, restaurants and duty free shops along the sea front. Recently opened in Tias (2km), is a fabulous new 18 hole golf course which offers club and buggy hire if you need it.
