Fuerteventura holidays are the perfect year-round relaxing holiday destination. With glorious beaches that are ideal for families and adults alike.
The Sahara is a little more than 200 km from Fuerteventura. Bringing warm winds and Golden sands which means the weather is constant all year round.
Dunes everywhere! A holiday to Fuerteventura is like nowhere else, heavenly, solitary, with endless
white-sand beaches, never-ending sun and the turquoise blue of the sea.
Fuerteventura is a special place designed for holiday enjoyment.
The sand is fine and white, and covers most of the shore. Like its sister
islands, its of volcanic origin, so you have all the elements: beaches,
dunes and volcanoes.
What are the most interesting places on the Island?
The Corralejo Dunes Natural Park is located in the north. There are wide
areas of dunes and white beaches of Jable sand, forming a nice contrast with
the turquoise blue of the sky and the clear water of the sea.
Very near to the east of Corralejo, is the Lobos Island, a small island
with a population of one - the lighthouse keeper! If you like diving dont
miss this place, its one of the best spots in the Canaries to let loose.
Caleta de Fuste
About 10km south of the airport lies Caleta de Fuste - also known as Castillo, one of the major tourist towns on the island.
Like Corralejo, change is happening fast in Caleta with more buildings cropping up on every corner to help cope with the large amounts of tourists that descend on the island each year.
Caleta de Fuste has one long main street consisting of low-rise buildings where the main bars and restuarants are concentrated. The resort has also expanded inland so if you fancy sampling some of the nightlife but dont fancy the walk, then try to book an apartment closer to the town centre.
Corralejo
With tourism booming on Fuerteventura, Corralejo, situated in the north, is one of the most popular resorts on the island.
More and more apartments are springing up each year to cope with the demand, and Corralejo which was once a small fishing village, has now grown into a lively colourful town.
Luckily, Corralejo has managed to retain its original charm and atmosphere, and there are still white sandy beaches in the town centre, where you can drop down and soak up the Canarian sunshine.
Most of the shops, bars and restaurants are along the main street which leads right down through the music square and on to the harbour which looks across the other side of town and the sand dunes.
