Puerto Calero, also known as Millionaires' Harbour, can be found in the quietest corner of laid back Lanzarote in the Canary Islands. The nickname speaks for itself: you will frequently find yachts and vessels valued at more than ten million Euros docked at its port. These have travelled to Puerto Calero for its convenient location and stunning scenery. The harbour is not just reserved for the rich and famous, however. There are enough cheap hotels in Lanzarote and activities in the area to allow all types of holidaymakers the chance to enjoy this privileged spot.
There is certainly enough to occupy all types of visitor. From the marina to the village is about a five minute walk, and a promenade runs along the entire harbour. Lined with shops and restaurants, there is a wide selection of food including, of course, delicious fresh seafood, as well as steaks and vegetarian fare. There's also the obligatory Irish bar if you fancy a refreshing pint of Guinness, or you can head to the relaxing piano bar to unwind and enjoy a drink and a meal. Meanwhile, for those seeking some retail therapy there are plenty of designer outlets, including Tommy Hilfiger, LACOSTE, and Ralph Lauren, along with a variety of chic shops, boutiques and souvenir stores to suit both the pockets of yacht owners and the rest of us - who are likely to be on a slightly tighter budget.
Families visiting Puerto Calero will find plenty of activities for all ages to enjoy. The kids will love visiting the Whales and Dolphins Museum, where they can learn all about these amazing creatures from actual skeletons as well as interactive displays. After that, why not take a dive in a yellow submarine to see if you're lucky enough to catch a glimpse of dolphins and whales swimming in the harbour. Each porthole is equipped with its own TV monitor, so you can check out different viewing angles and find out more information about the sub as you're coasting along. Finally, if you didn't dock in the bay with your own expensive yacht you can consider chartering one for the day from the marina. Fishing trips are also available.
You'll find an exceptional offering of good quality accommodation in Puerto Calero. Of course, this being Millionaires' Harbour, there are plenty of luxurious exclusive resorts, but there are also cheap hotels to be found for the traveller on a budget. Facilities and services are excellent, and you will find many hotels in Lanzarote catering to families. Several hotels offer all inclusive packages if you are looking to save money while you stay in Puerto Calero on your holiday. \
With its low rainfall and endless sunshine, the beautiful tropical paradise of Lanzarote is the perfect getaway. Why not treat yourself to the luxury lifestyle while you're at it with a stay Millionaires' Harbour.
