Whether you're planning a family holiday, an all-inclusive escape, a couples' getaway or some winter sunshine, Fuerteventura offers a great choice of resorts and accommodation.
Why Choose Fuerteventura for a Holiday?
If beaches are high on your holiday wish list, Fuerteventura is difficult to beat.
The island is famous for its long stretches of sand and wonderfully clear water, while its relatively undeveloped interior offers volcanic mountains, traditional villages and wide-open landscapes.
Fuerteventura is also one of Europe's best-known destinations for windsurfing, surfing and kitesurfing, thanks to the Atlantic winds that sweep across the island.
Away from the water, you can explore local markets, discover traditional Canarian villages, take a boat trip, visit family attractions or simply find a quiet spot beside the pool and enjoy the sunshine.
Best Resorts in Fuerteventura
Fuerteventura's main holiday resorts include Corralejo, Caleta de Fuste, Costa Calma and Jandia, with smaller resorts such as Costa de Antigua providing a quieter alternative.
Each has its own personality, so choosing the right resort can make a big difference to your holiday.
Corralejo
Situated on Fuerteventura's northern coast, Corralejo is one of the island's liveliest and most popular resorts.
It combines an attractive old town and harbour with plenty of shops, restaurants and bars, making it a great choice for visitors who like somewhere with plenty going on without feeling overwhelmingly busy.
Just outside the resort you'll find the spectacular Corralejo Natural Park, famous for its enormous sand dunes and beautiful beaches.
Boat trips also operate from Corralejo to nearby Lobos Island, a small protected island that's popular for walking, snorkelling and enjoying the natural scenery.
Corralejo is a particularly good choice for couples, families and anyone looking for a combination of beaches, restaurants and evening entertainment.
Caleta de Fuste
Caleta de Fuste, sometimes known as Costa Caleta, is located on Fuerteventura's eastern coast and is particularly popular with families.
Its sheltered beach and relatively calm waters make it a good choice for younger children, while the resort has plenty of restaurants, bars and shops.
There's also a good selection of hotels and apartments, including several large all-inclusive resorts, as well as golf courses nearby.
Another advantage is its convenient location close to Fuerteventura Airport, meaning transfer times can be relatively short.
Costa Calma
As its name suggests, Costa Calma is all about taking things easy.
Located towards the south of the island, the resort offers long sandy beaches, palm-lined surroundings and a relaxed atmosphere.
It's an excellent choice for couples and families looking for a quieter Fuerteventura holiday, as well as visitors interested in watersports.
Costa Calma also provides easy access to the spectacular beaches of the Jandia Peninsula.
Jandia
If your perfect holiday revolves around the beach, Jandia should be high on your list.
Situated in southern Fuerteventura, Jandia is renowned for its vast stretches of pale sand and clear Atlantic waters. The beaches seem to continue for miles, creating a wonderful sense of space even during popular holiday periods.
There's a good selection of hotels, shops and restaurants, while the nearby resort of Morro Jable adds a more traditional Canarian feel with its waterfront and local restaurants.
Jandia is particularly popular with couples and beach lovers looking for a relaxing holiday.
Costa de Antigua
For something quieter, Costa de Antigua offers a peaceful base on Fuerteventura's eastern coast.
It's close to Caleta de Fuste, so visitors can easily access a wider selection of beaches, shops and restaurants while staying somewhere with a more laid-back atmosphere.
Beaches in Fuerteventura
Beaches are undoubtedly one of Fuerteventura's biggest attractions.
The island has around 150 kilometres of coastline, with everything from huge expanses of pale sand to tiny volcanic coves.
The beaches around Corralejo are backed by impressive sand dunes, while southern Fuerteventura is home to the seemingly endless beaches of Costa Calma and Jandia.
For something completely different, visit Ajuy on the island's west coast. This small fishing village is known for its dramatic black beach, cliffs and sea caves.
Whether you're looking for somewhere to swim, sunbathe, surf or simply walk along the shoreline, Fuerteventura offers an impressive variety.
Things to Do in Fuerteventura
There's plenty to discover when you want a break from the beach.
One of the island's most popular family attractions is Oasis Wildlife Fuerteventura, where visitors can discover a wide variety of animals and botanical gardens.
In Corralejo, Acua Water Park makes a fun family day out with pools, slides and water attractions.
Boat trips are another popular option. You can sail across to Lobos Island, enjoy a coastal cruise or look out for marine life in the waters surrounding Fuerteventura.
The island's volcanic interior is also worth exploring. Hiring a car gives you the freedom to discover traditional villages, mountain viewpoints and quieter corners of Fuerteventura away from the main holiday resorts.
