Where beach life meets nightlife
Arrecife holidays combine all the benefits of a vibrant capital city – including buzzy nightlife and cultural attractions – with glorious weather and the sun-washed beaches of Lanzarote. The best beach is to be found at Playa del Reducto, which is sheltered by a reef (Arrecife is Spanish for ‘reef’) and has pretty palm trees and fine, white sands – ideal for sunbathing and water sports such as kayak and stand-up paddle boarding. Bargain hunters will love to spend holidays to Arrecife wandering the markets, ‘churros’ in hand.
The indoor La Recova market stocks vintage clothes and homewares daily, while a large Saturday street market sells artisan goods, local produce and crafts. And for culture, there’s the International Museum of Contemporary Art, housed in the 18th-century San José castle. Or you can simply relax with a cold drink at one of the city’s many bars or cafés, before ambling down to the marina for prime people watching and gorgeous ocean views.
