Extras
Modern meets traditional is the theme of our picturesque hotel in the lovely resort of Playa Blanca. The Elba Lanzarote Royal Village Hotel offers its guests an all suite hotel for that added touch of comfort. As we are on an all-inclusive basis, we can take advantage of a range of local wines, beers, spirits and even the odd cocktail to quench our thirst throughout the day. When we are feeling peckish, the buffet restaurant serves guests breakfast, lunch and dinner. For those that prefer to have light snacks during the day, the Brasserie at the pool is the place to go.
We will be based in the Elba Premium Suites Adults Only area of the hotel which includes its own exclusive pool and area with hammocks and Balinese beds. Our days can be spent relaxing around the pool or for those that prefer the beach, the closest beach is a 20 minute walk away. The hotel provides a free shuttle bus to Dorada Beach which we can take advantage of. Here we can rent a sun-lounger and take in the views for the rest of the day. There are a number of bars and restaurants nearby to stretch our legs, get a coffee or enjoy some delicious local cuisine.

We are based in the chic, relaxed resort of Playa Blanca, located on the southwest tip of the island, with the beautiful backdrop of the island’s dramatic volcanic landscapes. Playa Blanca boasts a trio of sandy beaches, all with different ‘personalities’ so you are sure to find one to suit. Playa Blanca, a Blue Flag beach, is lined with a promenade full of cocktail bars, upscale restaurants, and cafes as well as a large variety of shops selling all the amenities needed for that all important day in the sun. Playa Flamingo, a few minutes’ walk down the coast is a lot quieter, and Playa Dorada, another Blue Flag beach, is the place to head for water sports.
Away from the beach, Lanzarote has so much to offer. Timanfaya National Park, also known as Fire Mountain is a must-see. This 8km square National Park is where 32 volcanoes erupted all at once in 1732. Alternatively we can take a trip into the Canaries biggest outdoor market – Teguise’s weekly market. With over 360 stands set around cobbled streets, selling everything from local produce to artisan crafts, we will be spoilt for choice.

Euro
Your Tour Leader will be on hand to offer advice or suggestions if required but gratuities are offered entirely at the sole discretion of the individual. We suggest a group collection to cover drivers, porters and hotel staff of €15.00. Your Tour Leader will collect this on your behalf and distribute it accordingly, thus relieving you of the burden of who, when and how much to tip. The tipping of housekeeping will be left to your individual discretion (a small amount left in your room on departure should cover this and would be much appreciated). As is customary, ‘the hat’ will be passed around for the driver and guide on all optional excursions. For any meals that are not included in your itinerary, or taxi fares, your Tour Leader can advise of an appropriate % to add on.
Medium weights for Winter. Casual “layers” for the autumn and spring months and a warm jacket is recommended for the cool mornings and evenings. Comfortable shoes are a “must” for sightseeing. The hotel prefers reasonably smart dress for dinner – gentlemen are asked to wear long trousers and a formal shirt.
These are just a few of the tours, which may be available to you depending on the time of year and the numbers interested. Full details of all the excursions available will be advised at the Information Meeting. Prices may vary, depending on numbers etc and are only a guideline. All tours should be paid for in euros only. The exact amount will be given at your Information Meeting. Your Tour Leader will help arrange these for you but may not necessarily accompany you.
Please note:- Optional excursions are not guaranteed and are based on minimum numbers. The prices quoted are guideline only and may involve other non-Solos holidaymakers.
North Tour
This full day tour takes you through the fertile part of the island to Mirador del Rio (the most northern point) en route to Teguise, the old capital of the island, to see the Church of San Miguel and the Castle of Guanapay, a fortress dating from the 14th century. Then depart for Jameos del Agua, an underground cave of volcanic origin with a subterranean lake. The nearby Cueva de Los Verdes, stretching from a volcano through to the stream, is well worth a visit. Please note: This tour involves climbing up and down steps in parts. At Jameos del Agua some of the passageways into the volcano caves are quite narrow, dimly lit and have very low ceilings meaning you have to bend quite low (for short distances). Sensible shoes should be worn (no heels or ‘flip-flops’). Although there are also many large, open areas inside the caves, anyone suffering from claustrophobia should bear this information in mind.
Cost: Approximately Euro 85.00 (including lunch)
