Fuerteventura holidays

Fuerteventura’s famed for its dreamy line-up of Caribbean-esque beaches, wonderful water sports and relaxed seaside resorts, so it’s set to impress on the R&R front. And the resorts range from go-slow to get-up-and-go. By day, firm favourites Corralejo and Caleta De Fuste are two top choices for old-fashioned family fun, thanks to their mix of striking sands and attractions galore. By night, it’s all about the al fresco restaurants and live shows. Down in Jandia, we’re talking total tranquillity with an upmarket twist – not to mention some of the island’s most knockout beaches, best waves and finest seafood.

Beaches, beaches and more beaches

Fuerteventura’s known as the beach capital of the Canary Islands – and it’s no wonder, with long stretches of fine sands. Don’t miss the awesome natural surroundings of Corralejo either – rolling dunes give way to clear blue waters. Did we mention the hiking trails? There are lots of flat routes winding around the island!

Resorts for all ages

Fuerteventura’s a hive of activity and great weather all year means the resorts are always super lively. Restaurants and bars cater for families, while clubs in most of the towns keep night owls happy. If you’re a keen shopper, hit the high-street stores or bazaars to pick up little souvenirs.

Surf’s up

Every year, surfers flock to Fuerteventura for some of the best waves in the world, with Corralejo and El Cotillo two must-visits. Rent a board from one of the water sports centres and get ready to master the waves. Stick around for sunset at one of the on-the-sand bars and you’ll be treated to epic pink-tinged views.

Corralejo

Enjoy swathes of white sand and water sports galore in Fuerteventura’s largest and liveliest.

Caleta De Fuste

Expect an equally relaxing and adventurous holiday to Caleta De Fuste, spending your days on the beach and your evenings unwinding by the waterfront in Caleta Harbour.

Jandia

Whisk together fine white sands and staggering volcanic scenery and you’re bound to enjoy the velvety visions of Jandia.

Costa Calma

Welcome to the beautiful Costa Calma, a tranquil spot on the island’s south coast. Its name translates as the ‘calm coast’, so you can just imagine the type of relaxing retreat that’s on the cards. The resort’s powdery sands and twinkling azure waters were made for beach lazing. At night, why not enjoy a cocktail or two in one of the beach bars and take in the sunset?

La Oliva

Things get a little artsy in the northern part of the island.

Costa De Antigua

Surrounded by rolling hills, Costa De Antigua is a quiet spot away from the hustle and bustle of the island’s busier resorts.

El Cotillo

Spanish, Mediterranean and fusion food joints dish up taste bud-tickling plates in this old fishing village.

Las Playitas

A quaint fishing town on the south-east coast, Las Playitas is all about taking it easy, soaking up the sun and catching the surf.

Lajares

This sleepy town offers a great base for a rural retreat in Fuerteventura.

Beaches

You’ll be spoilt for choice when it comes to beaches. The sand dunes of Corralejo are straight out of a postcard, while Caleta De Fuste boasts a bustling strip great for lounging around in the sun. Jandia is water sports central, with everything from diving to surfing on offer.

Sights

Fuerteventura’s volcanic landscape makes it a natural wonder, studded with mountains and epic reserves. Just off the coast of Corralejo is Lobos Island. It’s a short trip by boat and walking paths criss-cross around and lead to a pretty lighthouse. Meanwhile, museums and villas stand proudly back inland.
