Villa Leanne

Villa Leanne is a lovely family villa with private gardens and pool in the Los Mojones residential area sitting above the beaches and resort centre of Puerto del Carmen. The quaint old town is around a ten minute to fifteen minute walk downhill from the villa and has a picturesque harbour where you can watch the fishermen bring in their catch or dine in one of the fish restaurants overlooking the sea. The atmosphere in the old town is laid back and friendly, with traditional tapas bars lining the cobbled streets.

Ten minutes further on is the lively main promenade or ‘Avenida’ which runs alongside the beach for several kilometres and has a huge variety of bars, shops, international restaurants and amusements. The resort’s main beach is the award winning Playa Grande which is very popular with families as it is sandy and gently sloping with excellent facilities. The coastline a little further on has numerous rocky coves to explore if you want to get away from the crowds. The conditions here are usually good for windsurfing and diving and you can hire equipment locally or book tuition if you are having a go for the first time. For those feeling energetic, bicycles are available for hire on the Avenida.

The Biosfera shopping centre sells a selection of luxury goods but there are also plenty of shops available along the Avenida if you are looking for souvenirs to take home. You will also find a wide range of restaurants catering for all tastes from fast food to fine cuisine and of course, the clubs and bars are open until the early hours for those wanting to dance the night away..
Also nearby is the incredible National Park of Timanfya, a 50km square area whose landscape has been shaped by past volcanic activity on the island, the most recent eruption being nearly two centuries ago. Various tours are offered in the park, including a camel ride if you are feeling adventurous, and you can enjoy a meal cooked over natural geothermal heat at the El Diablo restaurant.
