Exterior

The villa is set in extensive grounds planted with palm trees and sub-tropical plants. It is in an elevated position with Canarian lava walls separating the terraced layers of gardens, all with absolutely breathtaking views. There is an extensive sunbathing terrace with sun loungers, which surrounds the beautiful 10x4 metre, electrically and solar heated swimming pool. This has the unusual feature of an electrically operated, rigid pool cover. Patio doors from the living and dining rooms lead onto a covered patio which has a large dining table and chairs, a gas barbecue and provides an idyllic venue for al fresco dining and is romantically lit at night. Outside the kitchen there is a cosy seating area where one can relax and enjoy the views. The entire villa is accessed through an electrically operated gate and a flight of steps to the front door. Due to its hillside position it is not easily reached by the elderly or those with walking difficulties.

Amenities

The villa is conveniently located a few minutes drive outside of the centre of the resort. The nearest supermarket is a ten minute walk or a two minute drive and there is a good selection of restaurants and bars within a five minute drive, as well as the beautiful, golden Playa Flamingo beach. The recently opened, sophisticated Puerto Rubicon Marina is a ten minute drive from the villa and is the location of many exclusive boutiques, bars and restaurants. Several excursions, including a catamaran trip, depart from the Marina. The pretty harbour of Playa Blanca is also the departure point for many excursions including trips to the neighbouring islands of Fuerteventura and Los Lobos. A water taxi is also available to take people to Papagayo beaches.
In recent years Playa Blanca has grown from a traditional Canarian fishing village into a fashionable tourist resort and has retained a great deal of its original character. A pretty promenade runs along the seafront and is lined with bars, restaurants and shops. The amazing Papagayo beaches are only a ten minute drive away and are famous throughout Spain for their unspoilt location, golden sands and aquamarine, clear waters. The unspoilt Canarian villages of Las Brenas, El Golfo and Femes are only a short drive away, as is the volcanic national park of Timanfaya. Playa Blanca is approximately a 40 minute transfer from the airport.
