Where to stay in Playa Honda
Playa Honda is a small town on Lanzarote, so your best bet is to stay in the Puerto del Carmen area, which puts you close to the market without sacrificing easy access to restaurants and the seafront. If you prefer something quieter, look for accommodation directly in Playa Honda town centre itself, where you can walk to the África Branch market with ease.
For a more comfortable stay with added amenities, Hotel THe Volcan Lanzarote is a solid option nearby and well connected to the local area.
