Holiday Homes in the Sun: Season 1, Episode 1

1 - 1: Episode 1

In the first episode, property expert Amanda Lamb, presenter and JLS star JB Gill, and DJ and presenter Sam Pinkham are in Lanzarote in the Canary Islands, competing to find their favourite holiday rental for a beach holiday around Costa Teguise. Every year, nearly three million tourists descend on Lanzarote to enjoy the sunshine, sandy beaches, amazing watersports and gorgeous holiday homes — which is handy, as we've uncovered four of our favourites. Sam's option is a small but perfectly formed villa for two, with a chic interior, swimming pool, hot tub and breathtaking location. JB opts for a secret garden escape that's a little further from the coast. But will the amazing garden and great indoor facilities make up for the half-hour walk to the beach? Amanda's choice is very special indeed — a traditional Mongolian yurt! Sleeping six, this getaway is bursting with charm inside, and has a shower hut, shared pool and barbeque outside. But will the mystery holiday home trump them all? It's a modern villa that's just minutes from the beach. It has a clean finish inside, but with charming upcycled furniture to give character.
