Puerto Del Carmen is the most popular holiday resort on the island of Lanzarote. Suitable for families and party-goers, there are plenty of family-oriented activities, the New Town area is buzzing with cool bars and clubs, and there are accommodation options in the area to suit every budget.

Getting to Puerto Del Carmen from the airport is easiest when you book a package holiday and your transfers are included. Otherwise a taxi is the easiest way. The cheapest way, if you are looking to cut costs, is to catch a bus, which is incredibly cheap, but means making a change at Arrecife en route.

A great alternative to hotel accommodation in Puerto Del Carmen is to rent an apartment or private villa. You will have to cater for yourself, but this can be done very cheaply. Get a group of your friends together and you can share out the weekly rental cost between you, saving a bundle on hotel costs.

If you are searching for your flights separate from your accommodation, then it pays to get in early. Flight prices only tend to increase as their departure dates approach. The best time to buy to get the cheapest fares ...
... is when flights are first released, which is usually 11 months before their departure date.

A great way to make savings on your holiday to Puerto Del Carmen is to look for package deals. Many travel agents and airlines have affiliations with local hotels and when you book your flights and accommodation through one single agent they can give you great deals on accommodation at certain hotels too.

A great money saving package holiday option, especially for families travelling to Puerto Del Carmen is the all-inclusive package deal. This is where you pay one single cost for your entire trip. Your flights, transfers and accommodation are paid for, as well as all of your meals and in some cases your drinks and organised day trips around Cyprus and Puerto Del Carmen too.

Airfares may increase towards their departure date, but package deals tend to get cheaper. This means that if you are flexible enough to fly out at the last minute, you can pick up some truly incredible bargains on package deals by booking late online or via a travel agent.

To save on travel costs in and around Puerto Del Carmen, you may want to consider hiring a rental car. Buses are cheap, but they do not serve all parts of Lanzarote, so travelling by car is far easier. You can get a better deal by pre-booking your car online, and look out for package holiday deals that include car rental as these can save you money too.
