Hi all,


We are thinking about a bit of winter sun in Feb now the weather has turned gloomy.

For the past two years we have been to Playa Blanca in Lanzerote which we really enjoyed but next year we are looking to venture to a new island.

I am looking for location suggestions. We have a 2yo and 4yo and so looking for a low key resort, nice beach, few places to eat, some nearby day trips etc

We would prefer to rent a villa so don't need suggestions of specific accomodation just areas to go to (unless you can recommend a villa!)


Thanks in advance.

We stayed in Fuerteventura near Corralejo which is a small and very sweet resort. Was before kids but imagine it would have all you need for winter sun break, it is a windy island which I appreciated at the time as was very pregnant! Island was lovely would definitely go back and would stay in same accommodation if we could as it was super reasonable and clean / well-equipped. Might not suit you though as it was ten mins drive to beach:

We had a lovely holiday this summer in Puerto de Mogan in Gran Canaria. It is a pretty fishing town with a nice beach. We have 2 boys who are older than your children but there were loads of younger children there too.

They have a number of pools and were in the process of building a new one which would be ready by now i think.


Booked through Thomas Cook but we did not use them for any of the excursion type stuff.


Feel free to PM me if you have questions.

We really liked the playa flamingo part of playa blanca on Lanzerote. Playa Flamingo is a lovely quiet beach with a board walk with lots of little restaurants. We stayed in a James Villa's villa, can't remember it's name sorry. The Playo Flamingo resort (thomas cook I think) looked nice too, just behind the beach. Lots of easy outings from there, make sure you get up to wineries!!

If anyone is looking for a villa in lanzarote my mum has 2 she rents out. We go there every year, the house is great if you have kids as it's very much a home from home. It has sky to, Internet and she can supply high chairs, travel cots etc

    • Why is the name a big of a red flag? Blighty is a common name for the UK whatever people might think.
    • The only election which counts is the General Election.  There is still strong resentment for fourteen year's of Conservative rule. They squeezed the working class's way to hard, then they squeezed the middle class, but somehow the upper class never got touched, funny that.   There is also new resentment for Labour because of the utter balls up they've made of things since coming to power nine months ago. The majority of the population (or at least those with an ounce of common sense) want these clowns out of office ASAP because they see the damage they are doing to UK plc. They squeezed the pensioners, then the farmers and then business. They made and broke promise after promise, or just didn't tell the truth or say what they where going to do, otherwise known as merely lying to get elected. Inflation may be falling but the cost of things in the shops and utility bills keep on rising, the direct opposite of what they promised. They will never be trusted once they are ousted from power in about four and a half years time.   Everything they do and touch causes further harm, led by three stooges, Rayner, Reeves and balls'less Starmer, who couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag. He still thinks he's a solicitor at the DPP. Rather than spending week upon week getting involved in international politics he needs to be sorting out the UK's issues, sadly he's not up to the job and nor are his Cabinet.  Society needs a mix of people with different skills to prosper, not more and more graduates who can't get jobs in what they studied in.   Reform is the current anti establishment party, which will hopefully wither away back to where it came from.  The Liberals and Greens, well what can you say apart from using them as another alternative vote of dissatisfaction, but neither will come to power.  The country seriously needs stability and a Government that stands up for and represents it's people, not what MP's want but what the constituencies want and need.  Government needs to become far more open and transparent, it needs to be seen to be doing its job, doing what MP's are elected to do,  working for the people in the constituencies, getting back to basic principles and rebuilding the trust which has been lost by successive party's immaterial of them being, red, blue, light blue, yellow, green or some other colour.     
    • That’s very insulting! You are basically calling 17 million people that voted to leave the EU ‘thick’.        Brexit happened Sue.  Boring graphs!  Calling Nigel Farage a plastic patriot is also very insulting seeing as he and the Reform Party have had a landslide victory all over England.
    • These charity collectors are often classed as chuggers.  It can be scandalous that the charity/admin may keep a huge percentage of your donations and a tiny percentage is  actually given to the charity.   I can not speak for individual collectors - but it common practice.
