Sun park Living is a model Active Retirement Community (see 55 Communties, retirement communities and senior communities). Many over 50s who wish to holiday in Playa 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"
