There are lots of different options available to tourists searching for holiday villas in Lanzarote. Thanks in no small part to the growing number of overseas buyers who have invested in property in Lanzarote over the last few years. Creating a wider range of choice – both in terms of location and the sheer number of holiday rental properties to select from.
The stylish enclave of Oasis de Nazaret offers a very central base for a rural villa holiday on Lanzarote. As it is located within a fifteen minute drive of most of the main tourist attractions on the island. As well being situated in close proximity to Arrecife airport.
The village of Nazaret is essentially split into two halves by the LZ10 road from Arrecife. With most of the best holiday villas located in the upper part of the village – Oasis de Nazaret. Which provides a great location as this part of the village is well away from any road noise and is set into the side of a spent volcano. Offering incredible views back down the island towards the Volcano Park at Timanfaya and down to the coast.
Lanzarote´s ancient capital Teguise is just five minutes drive up the road and the resort of Costa Teguise – where visitors will find the nearest beaches – just ten minutes drive away in the opposite direction.
The village itself is home to a small supermarket and holiday makers can also enjoy dining out or just touring around LagOmar – the former home of actor Omar Sharif and now a stylish bar and restaurant.
The Hollywood actor – basking in the success of Doctor Zhivago – was filming on the island back in the early 1970´s. And after visiting Cesar Manrique´s incredible home (now the Cesar Manrique Foundation) built into five volcanic bubbles, he commissioned the island born artist and architect to create a similar holiday retreat.
However, not long after moving in Sharif lost the property in a high stakes game of bridge. And left the island – never to return.
Today, visitors can enjoy a holiday in these up market surroundings from as little as £565 per week for a villa sleeping up to eight people. In good quality, well appointed properties with pools and fantastic views.
Amongst the cream of the crop is this four bedroom property. Which not only features a large private pool but also additional extras such as a Jacuzzi and children’s paddling pool. The villa has fabulous sea and mountain views from most rooms and from the very private south facing terraces which surround the electrically heated pool.
The owners have spared no expense in providing everything to maximise guest enjoyment. Even providing Satellite TV with full Sky Plus + digital satellite including, BBC/ITV, Sky Movies, Sky Sports and for all football fans – Prem Plus, a playstation, books, games, and a huge selection of videos and DVDs.
The villa comprises two ensuite double bedrooms, the master with Sat TV and video, and 2 twin bedrooms. Patio doors lead from the master bedroom to a private terrace where guests can enjoy breakfast along with the breathtaking views.
The spacious beautifully furnished lounge with large picture window leads through the arches to the dining room, which also has patio doors leading to a covered outside terrace and dining area. And a fully fitted kitchen and utility room complete the facilities. Prices for one week’s rental start from £645.
Alternatively, visitors could plump for the slightly cheaper but equally well appointed Villa Nazaret Two. Which also boasts a large private pool, Jacuzzi and great sea and mountain views from every south facing window and terrace.
The villa enjoys an elevated position and is extremely spacious. Making it ideal for large family groups or for couples who just want to unwind away from it all.
