Many holiday makers visiting the island of Lanzarote have only one magical place they head straight for, that place is Famara. Even on a world wide scale a holiday in Famara can rival most any other location. Beautiful, wild and dramatic are the words that probably sum up Famara the best. A 700 metre vertical cliff back drop round out into a 4 kilometre long golden sand beach which in turn leads onto the sea with its year round surf and kitesurf conditions.
Staying in Famara
A self catering holiday in Famara is the one and only most popular choice for visitors to the area. There are two areas to find your accommodation, that of the town of Famara (Caleta de Famara) or the Famara bungalows.
Famara town is a small and sleepy relaxed fishing village with a fine sprinkling of restaurants, shops, bars, surf and kitesurf shops with rental and training courses.
Famara bungalows
The Famara bungalows are located a few hundred metres from the Famara town on the slopes leading to the beach. Each bungalow is on its own 1000 metre plot, each bungalow has a full glass frontage, large terrace and amazing sea and sunset views. If not your first then certainly your second visit to the area will be in a Famara bungalow.

The area offers a break away from the hustle and bussle of the more populated main stream tourist areas and gives a unique view of the natural rugged beauty of Lanzarote.
Famara is split into the Famara bungalows and the town of Famara, know as ‘La Caleta de Famara’.
The Famara bungalows were built around 25 years ago by Norwegians looking to build winter holiday homes. Since then the area has gained popularity due to its amazing position and views.

The Famara bungalows are now a very popular holiday destination enjoying a large amount of repeat business. The area is not very marketted so needs a bit of finding, once found and enjoyed it has a tremendous draw. It is possilbe to find a famara bungalow to rent for around 500 euros per week that sleeps four in two bedrooms.

Famara is something of an alternative village, away from the tourist route.

The place with its small white houses dotted about in random fashion, lies in a wide, open landscape at the foot of mighty cliffs.

The roads in the village are mostly just sandy tracks and the beach is wild and left to nature. There is a complex of bungalows which climbs the slope which can be rented and make a fantastic holiday away fro it all. A northerly wind blows almost always, creating great waves for the happy surfer. Surfers come here to ride the world-class waves; the rest of us come to just relax and enjoy the peace and quiet….

Famara bungalows…

are unique – located on the lower slopes of the cliffs, they are half-moon shaped and set in their own gardens, and all are just a stone’s throw from the beach.

In Famara one can eat well at a reasonable price, especially if one enjoys fresh local fish. One can sit here with the unique backdrop of cliffs and listen to the sound of the waves.

Famara is unlike anywhere else on Lanzarote. It boasts the longest beach on the island, with a stunning backdrop of 2000′ cliffs.

People love Famara because of its laid-back atmosphere, barely touched by tourism.

There is a restaurant, bar and shop on site, as well as a communal swimming pool. Just a short distance away is the fishing village of La Caleta de Famara, with a small number of restaurants and bars.
