Shops, restaurants, and the coast are all within easy reach, offering the perfect balance of tranquillity and convenience.



The Space:

Tucked away in the peaceful residential area of Zafiro, close to Faro Park, Villa Helena offers a relaxed and comfortable setting for couples, families, and friends looking to enjoy the sunshine and slower pace of Playa Blanca.



Inside, the villa comfortably accommodates up to four guests across two well-appointed bedrooms.

A second bathroom provides added convenience for all guests.



Designed for easy holiday living, the fully equipped kitchen provides everything needed for preparing anything from leisurely breakfasts to relaxed evening meals. Adjacent to the kitchen, the bright and welcoming lounge offers comfortable seating, a large TV with a wide selection of international channels, and direct access to the terrace, creating a wonderful indoor-outdoor flow.



Outside is where many guests will spend most of their time. The private electrically heated swimming pool sits at the heart of the terrace, surrounded by sun loungers and plenty of space to soak up Lanzarote's year-round sunshine. A BBQ and outdoor dining area provide the perfect setting for long lunches and relaxed evenings spent dining al fresco.



For an extra touch of relaxation, the villa also features a hot tub, offering a wonderful place to unwind beneath the stars after a day exploring the island or enjoying the nearby coastline.



Combining comfortable accommodation, excellent outdoor facilities, and a peaceful location close to local amenities, Villa Helena is a great choice for a relaxing holiday in Playa Blanca.

The scenic coastal promenade is also nearby, offering beautiful walks along the seafront with stunning ocean views. The centre of Playa Blanca is just a 10-minute taxi ride away, where you'll find sandy beaches, waterfront dining, shops, and a lively promenade.

We’ve included a range of thoughtful touches to help you settle in and start enjoying your holiday from the moment you arrive.



A generous welcome pack will be waiting for you, including tea, coffee, milk, sugar, water, orange juice, beer, biscuits, and a bottle of wine or Cava, perfect after your journey.



Bed linen, towels, and pool towels are all provided for your stay. For stays of more than 12 nights, a weekly mid-stay housekeeping service is included. This is a light clean, along with fresh linen and towels, and takes place every 7 days (for example, on day 7 of a 2-week stay, and days 7 and 14 for longer stays). For longer stays, this continues every 7 days thereafter. For bookings of 12 nights or fewer, additional cleaning is not included, but can be arranged on request.

The hot tub can also be added to your booking for a supplement, ideal for making your stay that little bit more special.



If you’re travelling with little ones, cots and high chairs can be arranged at €25 per week, per item, payable in cash on arrival directly to the local hire company.



A breakage cover fee of £10 per person is included in your booking. This replaces the need for a traditional security deposit and covers accidental damage up to £400, giving you added peace of mind throughout your stay.



If there’s anything you’d like arranged ahead of your arrival, our Guest Relations team are always happy to help.

Enjoyed our stay

The. I’ll was very clean, well equipped and we enjoyed our stay We were disappointed that the bedroom doors were difficult to close and the bathroom doors DID’NT either close or lock. In fact the bathroom and en-suite had no locks. As we were a couple it wasn’t an issue to report but had we been two couples it could have been embarrassing

Lovely Villa in a quiet, peaceful location.

We were looking for a peaceful location and this property was ideal for us. The Villa was well equipped for our needs and the garden enabled us to enjoy a tranquil week in the sun. It was a nice touch providing a tablet loaded with useful info, as well as the welcome pack, but also appreciated our introductory visit to ensure all was satisfactory and provided us with assurance that if help was needed it was easily accessible. Having an alarm system also gave is a sense of security. We will definitely consider returning again next year. Nothing comes to mind.

Enjoyable stay with a few issues

The villa itself was comfortable and was generally well equipped, especially the kitchen. The pool is a good size and there were plenty of sun beds. The location is a bit further away from the shops and bars than we are used to but still only a 10 minute walk. There is a parking space at the side of the villa. When we requested more towels they promptly arrived. The staff who checked in with us were helpful and friendly. Overall we had an enjoyable stay at villa Helena. The villa wasn't ready for our arrival which the management seemed to know but didn't communicate this to us. The pool hadn't been cleaned prior to our arrival and was quire dirty.
Response from VrboOwner on 9 September 2025
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, we always appreciate hearing from our guests and will pass your comments along to our Guest Relations team. Sorry to hear the villa wasn’t ready when you arrived. As noted in our check-in information, the standard time is from 16:00, but with advance notice of your midday arrival, we would’ve been more than happy to try and accommodate an earlier check-in. Regarding the pool service, our pool cleaning team was unable to access the property at your request, which unfortunately limited our ability to carry out the scheduled cleaning on the day of your arrival. We do hope you will return to our beautiful island in the future and hope you enjoyed a relaxing holiday. Best wishes, Villas Now.

Comfortable villa in peaceful location

We enjoyed our stay. A high wall around the garden/pool area makes it very private and secure. The villa is well-kept and very clean. The bathrooms are nicely presented and well-equipped, while the master bedroom has a particularly comfortable mattress. The area is very quiet and peaceful. English TV (including sports) is a welcome addition. Representatives from Villas Now were always contactable by phone, and quickly fixed a minor problem. Top tip: during daylight hours the shops and restaurants of Faro Park can be reached in around 5 mins using an unofficial but easily navigated path across 'rough ground'. The exterior of the villa could do with some re-staining/painting etc, while the interior furniture and furnishings would benefit from some refreshing.

A bit away and distanced but great

We knew what we took, and in fact purposely were taking Helena for it's location and being tucked away from the usual hype of Playa Blanca. We wanted to Stay at FARO, yet were unlucky to get accomodation there. Helena @ ZAFIRO was a great alternative to Faro kitechen appliences, cutley, china and china: we believe time to be updated.... Doors - not a single door is locking properly in the rooms, with small child in the family that presented some problems Parking - not (obviously) designatade or explained, we had a situations where have to park on the drive
Response from VrboOwner on 26 August 2022
Hi Denis, I'm pleased you got away from the hustle and bustle and that Helena was the perfect location for this. I'm so sorry about the doors, I wish we had known this and we would have done something about it straight away. This will be rectified now we know. I hope your trip home was uneventful and we will hopefully see you again next year. Many thanks Sally

A good find

The best Welcome Pack! The villa was well equipped - but see my comments about what could be improved. Good location (which we know anyway, we always base ourselves near in/around Faro Park). It was odd that there was no chopping board provided, nor any washing up liquid, pan scrubs or "J Cloths" when there is a request not to put the plastic crockery in the dish washer. We purchased all of these and have gifted them to the next occupants! The curtains in the lounge are hanging off their rail, and we were wary of pulling them off altogether.
Stayed 10 nights in Feb 2023

Just brilliant

Great villa in every way, location, support when needed etc. Couldn’t find a chopping board and a few words about the alarm on the email sent beforehand would’ve avoided setting it off when we first arrived.

Issue with water leak resolved very promptly. Great location. Villas interior requires a little TLC. Following a windy few days the cleaners did not dust the villa. However we would stay again as overall had a great 3 weeks.

A Peaceful Stay

A well kept villa in a very quiet residential area, probably the furthest outside of the main town I've stayed so a car is definately a good idea, but it was lovely and peaceful and so very relaxing. The villa was clean and well kept with all you need, A nice size pool with lovely garden area and patio. Inside, the bedrooms were clean and comfortable, the lounge area was good and had a TV with all the channels you need and the kitchen was equipped adequately. Altogether a very nice place to stay. Maybe some new fans !!!

The villa was beautiful, and had everything we needed. The pool and outdoor area were spacious and perfect for outdoor dining and enjoying the sunshine. I was very happy with everything, didn't see anything that needed to be improved. I would highly recommend Villa Helena

A truly wonderful villa

It's a wonderful villa at the edge of Playa Blanca, allowing very easy access to different ( and beautiful ) walks by the sea. You can even stroll straight to the centre of Playa Blanca - it takes about half an hour. The villa is fantastic and has everything you might need to to enjoy a relaxing holiday. The pool is brilliant and regularly clean. Rooms are comfortable and the bathrooms are perfect. Lots of space inside and outside. It is in a very quiet area which is great.
