Las Adelfas

The resort and its setting

Las Adelfas is an independent timeshare resort at Av. de Francia, 36, in Puerto del Carmen — one of Lanzarote's best-established holiday towns. Guest ratings sit at 4.3 out of 5 from 347 reviews, a solid score for a resort of this kind. The property is set up as self-catering holiday accommodation, with Puerto del Carmen's beach within easy walking distance, making it a practical base for a beach-focused week rather than a resort you need a car to enjoy — though having one certainly helps for exploring the rest of the island.

Puerto del Carmen and things to do

Puerto del Carmen grew from a fishing village into Lanzarote's main tourist town, and it still stretches along a long run of golden sand backed by a lively promenade of restaurants, tapas bars and beach terraces. It's an easy base for exploring the island: Timanfaya National Park, with its volcanic craters and lava fields, is around 15km away and well worth a half-day trip. Arrecife, the island's capital, is about 8km up the coast and worth visiting for its old quarter and marina. Further south, Playa Blanca and the white-sand Papagayo beaches make for a good day trip, whether by road or on one of the boat excursions that run along this coast. Lanzarote's volcanic landscape and mild, dry climate mean the island suits outdoor activities — walking, diving, cycling — at almost any time of year.

Selling or renting a week here

If you own a week at Las Adelfas and are thinking of selling or renting it out, BidMyTimeshare.com works as a private, owner-to-owner marketplace: you list your week, set your own asking price, and interested buyers or renters contact you directly through the platform. There's no commission on the sale — sellers simply pay a one-off listing fee to advertise.

Because Las Adelfas is an independent resort, resale isn't handled through a brand-wide system — it goes through the resort's own owners' association or on-site management. Before agreeing a price with any buyer, both parties should confirm directly with the resort what the current transfer fee and annual maintenance fee are, since these aren't standardised and can change from year to year. It's also worth asking whether the association holds any right of first refusal on a resale, as some independent resorts do, so there are no surprises partway through the transfer. Ask the resort how long a transfer typically takes to process, and get written confirmation of exactly what passes to the buyer — the usage week and any accrued points or banked weeks, for instance — versus what doesn't transfer automatically.

Renters, meanwhile, are typically looking for straightforward practical details: which week or season is on offer, unit size, whether the beach and town centre are walkable, and what's included in the rental price. Being specific about these points in a listing tends to attract more serious enquiries.

Practical notes

Lanzarote Airport (ACE) is about 15 minutes from Puerto del Carmen, making arrival and departure straightforward whichever week you own. The island's climate stays mild year-round, so there isn't a strict high or low season in the way some other destinations have — though April–May and September–October tend to offer a good balance of warm weather and a quieter town, which is useful to know whether you're planning your own stay or marketing a week to prospective renters.
