  • Today Savilles' Travels take you to Lanzarote in the Canary Islands for an Easter Holiday break with the whole family.
    We stayed in Playa Blanca in the south of Lanzarote about 30 minutes drive from the airport.

    22:59 Mumbai Masala Restaurant
    25:20 Flamingo Beach
    We booked through Optima Villas and stayed in Casa Piscina Villa (4 bed, 3 bath) and were so happy with the layout, size and amenities. It suited our large family and provided a fantastic base to explore Playa Blanca. It was clean, spacious and the outside area was brilliant for relaxing by the pool and al fresco dining. Having a Pool Table and Table Tennis were great extras for entertainment.
    The Villa check-in process was very easy at the airport and we were given a key code to access the keys for the villa. The villa is also alarmed for security which was great for peace of mind.
    The location of the villa worked for us as Taxis are cheap and easy to order so we could get about easily this way. The Waterpark (AquaLava) was around a 25 Minute Walk and 45-60 Minutes to the local beaches and a bit further to reach the Marina. We chose to walk a few times but got taxis for speed and ease for the rest of the holiday
    We used 24 HORAS NORTE & SUR TAXI LANZAROTE - +34 928 524 222
    They arrived promptly to collect us and taxis cost between 3.50 - 6 euros for everywhere we visited
    We used firstminute-transfer.com for our taxi to and from the airport. The vehicle was very nice and the driver helpful with the luggage. I chose this company as they had a mini bus large enough for us all which was cheaper than getting 2 standard taxis. This cost 135 euros return
    Please leave me a comment and let me know what you thought of the vlog and feel free to ask me any questions about Playa blanca or the villa

    First time to playa Blanca at the end of April. The video has been really helpful, thank you! Slightly off topic though… what mascara do you use? It looks so lovely and natural!

    • @SavillesTravels
      @SavillesTravels  3 місяці тому

      Hi, I’m jealous! You’ll have a fantastic time and the weather should be lovely. Arh thanks… I tried so many and when I found this I won’t use anything else. It’s the YSL luxurious mascara for false lash effect - waterproof. I’ve tried the standard one and it’s not the same. I curl my lashes first and this doesn’t weigh them down it holds them in place so I recommend the waterproof version. Enjoy your holiday x

      Yes it was my first time and loved it. I didn’t expect the beaches to be as nice or the water as crystal clear. It’s so clean everywhere and has a nice balance of cheaper and more expensive restaurants, typical tourist shops but also some nicer ones. So much to do, I’d recommend

      Hi, the villa was around 5 minutes in a taxi to the beach and cost between 3-4 euros depending on which one we visited. You can take a stroll down in around 40 minutes. Waterpark was a 20 minute walk away.
      We paid £1539 which was shared between 8 of us so £192 per person. That was in the school holidays 11-18th April

      The bay beach? That’s Flamingo beach. The one with the dirt track walk and steep hill is Plays Papagayo
