Sun Park Living is Lanzarote's exclusive long stays self-catering
accommodation alternative for the fit & active 50. Sun Park Living
offers an alternative for long term holiday accommodation rental in
Playa Blanca, Lanzarote. A long stay in Sun Park Living is also an
alternative to purchasing a property as you have all the advantages of
home ownership just without the downside of laying down a lump sum and
the headache and costs of on-going ownership. Sun park Living is a model
Active Retirement Community (see 55 Communties, retirement communities

Blanca and Lanzarote, weather for a short stay or long stay, would
prefer Sun Park Living.
Sun Park Living - the alternative for the fit and active 50+ feeling
young, wishing to spend long breaks or even live in the Sun.
People in their 50+ are often more active and adventurous than many
people half their age, and, irrespective of their social status, turning
50+ appears to be a time of liberation, reinvention, and a chance to
make new beginnings.Most, if not all, relish this period of life when
they are free of most of the responsibilities of bringing up a family or
full time job/business. Many, even, for the first time, venture out and
leave their own nest, looking for interesting propositions and
sustainable ways to remain fit, active, youthful, and feeling great,
eager to squeeze as much as possible out of life, whilst rediscovering
and continue nurturing unique qualities and talents, passions and
potential.
Sun Park Living offers a completely new proposition geared towards the
50+ age group, attracting those at the initial phase of their retirement
age, or reinvention life, who are determined to extend and live life to
the fullest, fondly unlimited period, from a month to forever, and
become part of a community of like-minded individuals, English-speakers
from all over Europe, mainly from the UK, Ireland, Benelux, Switzerland
& Scandinavia, forming a cosmopolitan community, sharing life and
supporting each other whilst enjoying life in the sun.
Choosing Sun Park Living as a long stay break destination is to embarque
on a unique living experience of true community and fellowship, sharing
extended breaks and an opportunity of living for indefinite periods in
the sun.
The benefits of living on an island such as Lanzarote trespass the
well-known climate related reasons. Lanzarote offers a simple way of
life within a unique natural setting filled with breath taking sceneries
that invite the traveler to get in touch with one's inner self whilst
living in touch with nature.Sun Park Living, with its 220 apartments
facing both the beautiful gardens and its four swimming pools, is
clearly not a Resort in the ordinary sense.Under the "Make it yours"
concept, guests are encouraged to make their mark, to contribute with
their special touches, and to make their apartment their own, in an
attempt to make guests feel absolutely at home.Sun Park Living´s demure
reaches the heart of those looking for "something" special, giving
guests a different environment and experience, inaccessible for the
typical mass market Resorts.
At Sun Park Living there´s no rigid timetable, everyone´s free to
arrange their day as they wish, according to their needs and wants.
Whether guests wish to stay in and enjoy the comforts of their own
apartment or the facilities in the resort - restaurant, café, bar, deli,
mini market, launderette, gift shop, pools, tennis court, mini golf,
volley ball, outdoor gym, arts attellier, 3AU (third age university),
gardens and many more - or choose to venture out in a group or alone to
the many activities Lanzarote has to offer, at Sun Park Living guests do
take time to enjoy life.
The atmosphere at Sun Park Living is like that of a private home during
"happy holidays time", where friends, family and neighbours gather
together to share each other´s company and have a good time; from the
very first evening, guests are charmed by its warm friendly ambiance, a
far cry from the mass market resorts.In addition to the thrill of
discovering what Lanzarote has to offer, and potentially unveiling a new
life in the Sun, there´s also the pleasure of contributing towards
building and sharing an authentic community living experience, enjoying
true camaraderie amongst the newly found friends and neighbours, all
living life to the fullest whilst sharing it all under the sun.
There is a wide variety of activities available - sports, leisure, art,
etc. And since it´s a community lead environment as opposed to a
Hotel/Sales lead one, activities are chosen and arranged by the guests.
Including all the charity and volunteer work that´s being done - giving
all guestsincreased value and purpose to their lives.Your privacy is
respected and it is your choice whether or not you throw yourself into
the community or prefer a more laid back private stay. Nothing is
compulsory.
Staying at Sun Park Living gives guests the peace of mind and assurance
that the resort management, with its non-intrusive low profile,
seamlessly dealing with the day-to-day running of the resort, is close
enough to help and ensure their stay is supported as and when they want
and need it, whilst guests unveil, at their own pace, the wonder of
making this place their own, a second home away from home, whether they
stay for a month or more.There is absolutely no catch, and no strings
attached, no sales, no timeshares, no nasty surprises of any kind, just
an interesting, pleasurable, and affordable long stay in the sun waiting
to be enjoyed and discovered.
For most guests and residents, this is the first time they make a move
without their offspring, and by offering hustle and headache-free rental
without the worry of maintenance, the transition becomes easier.Rental
prices are extremely reasonable and affordable and there is no need for
any major investment, nor the risk of unexpected maintenance bills as it
happens with other resorts or when owning your own property
abroad.Guests have absolutely no need to sell or re-mortgage their
property in order to finance their new lifestyle. There really are no
risks and guests do not have to cut ties with their home country either.
This is not a one-way ticket and there is no need to make a major life
decision in order to spend a long break in the sun.
Guests can use the resort as their temporary home or simply spend
periods of time when their other commitments allow. Guests can even use
their stay as the stepping stone before deciding to relocate or buy, if
that's something they'd like to consider.
The resort offers an introductory trial week for £279 (€355)
including airport pick up (excluding return airport drop off journey).
And for those who like what they see, they could rent an apartment for
as little as £499 (€625) a month, and arrange to stay for as long
as they like, subject to availability.
Looking at the lower cost of living in Lanzarote, becoming a Sun Park
Living guest will actually save guests money. If guests were to rent out
their own property back home, for 3-6-12 months or even longer, they
could fund an amazing lifestyle here in the island, whilst preserving
their home and its full equity, and without having to tip into their
savings or pension. This is indeed a risk free, financially viable and
sustainable alternative to make one´s pension go further to retire in
style and live abroad in the sun, without having to take up a mortgage
or a second loan on the house.
How to make it all happen? Simply check availability at Sun Park Living
resort´s website and book a flight - flights to Arrecife are very
reasonably priced and there are daily flights from all over Europe with
all low cost airlines.
This may sound overly simple, but sometimes, the best ideas are THAT simple.
Testimonials:
"As a single woman in my 60s, after having lost my husband, I only
wanted a faraway retreat, where to catch up with myself and think about
life ahead. To my surprise, instead, I found a new me, rediscovered the
joy of living, and with the help of a few good friends I´ve made along
the way, I managed to reinvent myself. I took up pottery, learnt some
Spanish and brushed up my IT skills, some of the in-house activities I
found in the resort; every day we do a long walk by the beach or around
town, and twice a week we visit some of the many picturesque villages in
the island. I also started a reading club with a few neighbours and we
are all planning to go for the day to any of the neighbouring islands.
There´s so much to do, and it´s such a great fun to be able to share it
with other men and women in my situation. I absolutely love it here,
rediscovering life with people like me has made a huge difference to my
life, and wish I could make it last for ever".
Mrs Helen Moore - Edinburgh
"Growing old, and finding myself being alone, with all my kids moving on
and getting busier and busier with their lives, it made sense to look
for a place where I could spend a few months at a time, without having
to worry to rush back to an empty house. I wanted to fish all day, read
my papers and relax. I´ve worked all my life and really didn´t want
anything else at this time. From the moment I got here I was in heaven. I
could do all I wanted without braking the bank, and I was having a good
time. I made some friends and together we make every day count. We´ve
gone fishing a few times together, and got back to the resort with our
bate to share it in the BBQ with everyone. The last time, my neighbour
Betsy made a huge salad for everyone and got the rest to join us,
everyone brought something and before you knew it we had a big unplanned
party going on. I´ve managed to forget how lonely I was before, so I
intend to stay for as long as I can, and highly recommend it to
everyone." Mr Jeremy Davies - Manchester"My husband and I have been
planning this trip for a while now. We love living close to nature and
Lanzarote seems an ideal place to spend a long break in. Although our
business schedule back home is no longer that full, we still have to
keep an eye on things, yet having such an affordable solution has helped
us to arrange things so that we can live and work from Lanzarote whilst
popping over to the UK once every other month. We can definitely enjoy
the best of both worlds without spending our savings nor cutting our
ties with home. Never thought that retiring could be this fun and
affordable. Thank you Sun Park Living".Mr & Mrs Kramer - Birmingham"
