As a result plenty of overseas investors have piled in over the last few years.  Buying up very reasonably priced villas (two bedrooms with a pool for under €250,000 anyone?) in order to rent them out to their fellow holidaymakers.  Whilst also providing a bolt hole in the sun.

The parallel growth in internet usage in the UK has created a real explosion in the number of people booking their own holidays online.  So the quantity of villas for rent in and around Playa Blanca has grown massively in the last few years too.

There are of course plenty of websites catering to this market – but we like the look of www.holidayvillasinplayablanca.co.uk  – probably because we find the name easy to remember!  But in fairness the site is easy to use, features over 90 good quality properties and therefore offers a very decent selection of villas in Playa Blanca.  Encompassing all of the most popular locations within the resort such as Playa Flamingo, Rubicon Marina and Moñtana Roja.

Rental rates are reasonable too – starting from £350 per week for a two bedroom villa with private pool.  Which can accommodate up to four people. So if you’re planning a holiday in Playa Blanca give them a try.
