Smoking - General:
The majority of our guests are requesting non-smoking villas. We would ask any guest who wishes to smoke, to do so outside under the large covered terrace.
Linen is provided including towels for the bathrooms and pool, but please bring your own towels for the beach. Maid service and laundering of villa towels and bed linen is provided once a week. The complex is a few minutes walk from the centre of Playa Blanca and the golden sandy beaches.
Playa Blanca:
Las Brisas is a complex of 144 private villas. Many of the villas are only occupied for a limited part of the year so that the development never feels overcrowded. Las Brisas is situated in the village of Playa Blanca on the southern tip of Lanzarote. Playa Blanca was originally a small fishing village, which is being turned into a holiday resort. The village consists mainly of villas, although there are now several hotels as well. There are several supermarkets selling a wide selection of foods and other goods, and a variety of other shops, with many good restaurants. Although the village has grown considerably the resort is still relatively quiet but if you require nightlife and the usual large resort attractions, these are available in Puerto del Carmen, which is approximately thirty minutes drive from Playa Blanca.
A new marina was completed in 2004 between Playa Blanca and Papagayo with a range of designer shops and restaurants.
Lanzarote:
The island of Lanzarote is volcanic and much of it consists of the so-called “lunar landscape” with huge lava flows and a very stark appearance. A few of the beaches consist of black volcanic sand; however the majority are fine golden sand. There is a small white sand beach in the centre of Playa Blanca (a five minute walk from the villa), and two other white sand beaches within a 10 – 15 minute walk. Several more extremely good white sand beaches at Papagayo about 7 kms from Playa Blanca. There is a small entrance charge to go to these beaches as they are part of the National Park. There are also plans to build at least two golf courses on the outskirts of Playa Blanca, the ground works for the first one have already commenced. One of the main attractions of Lanzarote as previously stated is the excellent weather, the island receives very little rain fall (Maximum 35 days per year).
