Location & Accessibility

Pitaya enjoys a superb central location in Arrecife, making daily life highly walkable. However, to fully explore Lanzarote's diverse landscapes, a rental car is highly recommended due to limited island-wide public transport.

Public Transport

Lanzarote Airport (ACE) is approximately 7km away, a short 10-15 minute drive. Local buses serve Arrecife but are infrequent on weekends and limited for exploring the wider island.

Car Considerations

A rental car is strongly advised for exploring the island. Free street parking is generally available around the coliving. It's recommended to book a car rental early for the best rates.

Walkability

Extremely walkable location. Supermarkets, the best local coffee shops, the beach, and the Charco lagoon with its restaurants are all within a 5-10 minute walk. Taxis and ride-sharing are available for local trips.

Key Distances

El Charco lagoon: 0.5 min walk. Best local coffee shop: 3 min walk. Beach: 10 min walk. Major supermarkets (Hiperdino): 10 min walk. Lanzarote Airport: 7km (10-15 min drive).

Challenges & Tips

The main challenge is island exploration without a car. Public transport is not a reliable option for spontaneous trips or weekend adventures. Plan to rent a car for your stay to gain the freedom to surf, hike, and visit remote villages.
