Unlike those bustling holiday islands, Fuerteventura as a holiday destination is relatively undiscovered, its more than 150 idyllic sandy beaches are only sparsely populated and many seldom visited at all.
Fuerteventura island’ two main resort towns are Corralejo and Caleta del Fuste. A holiday on Fuerteventura means you also do a bit of island hopping to the nearby island of Lanzarote.
 Caleta de Fuste Fuerteventura’s busiest holiday resort has been built up around the town of Caleta de Fuste, also known as Castillo, about six miles (10km) south of the island’s airport.
The resort’s horseshoe-shaped gently-shelving beach is man-made, covered with imported golden sand. The resort is steadily growing in facilities and popularity, the latest addition being a golf course. The town consists of a long main street lined with low-rise buildings containing several restaurants and bars.
Fuerteventura holiday resort guide
Corralejo
Fuerteventura's liveliest resort, Corralejo offers a wide selection of restaurants and bars along with lots of water sports including scuba diving and windsurfing. Just outside town you'll find a seven mile stretch of sand, while a small sandy beach serves the resort centre. Most of the shops, bars and restaurants are situated along the main street which leads right down through music square and on to the harbour which looks across to a stunning desert-like landscape of sand dunes. Spreading east along the coast the dunes are a protected natural habitat.
Costa Caleta
A safe, sheltered beach skirting a wide horseshoe bay is the focal point of this modern, expanding resort. Costa Caleta has quiet-tree lined streets with low-rise buildings. Numerous shops and a selection of cafes and restaurants make it a popular choice with families. The nightlife is varied too with plenty of bars hosting live music evenings, karaoke and a wide variety of restaurants including Chinese, Italian and authentic Spanish.
Costa Calma
Costa Calma, or the calm coast as it is known, lies on the edge of the stunning Jandia National Park. Beautiful sandy beaches skirting a long, unspoilt coastline are the attraction of Costa Calma. This growing resort has a European flavour, along with a good selection of restaurants, bars and shops dotted along palm-tree lined promenades. Beach lovers
Nightlife is fairly lively and there are numerous watersports on offer, boat trips and even undersea excursions on a submarine. Accommodation is mainly in apartment blocks. Caleta de Fuste’s central location makes it a good base from which to explore the rest of the island, although there is little public transport and hiring a car is necessary for most excursions.
There is even a smattering of eateries serving up Canarian cuisine and fresh seafood. The main street, Calle General Franco, is flanked with shops selling everything from radios to surfboards, and suntan oil to luxury watches. Just outside the town is a protected nature reserve festooned with miles of sand dunes, and the surrounding beaches are more than inviting. Among the activities to keep holidaymakers busy are a variety of watersports, tennis, glass-bottom boat trips, ferry trips to Lanzarote, jeep safaris, island tours, mountain biking and motorcycle tours.
Beaches on Fuerteventura One does not need to go far on Fuerteventura to find a perfect beach, even if you are intent on seeking out solitude away from other holidaymakers. The best can be found around Jandia, on the southern tip of the island. Juan Gomez is one of these, with a stretch of golden sand, reached by turning off of the Morro Jable-Punta de Jandia road.
In the same section of the island is the pebbly black volcanic beach of La Pared, with right next door the beach of Viejo Rey, a long stretch of golden sand flanked by dunes. For real peace and quiet the black volcanic sand of Giniginamar is recommended, surrounded by palm trees and other indigenous plants. For true remote beaches tourists can hire a 4WD and explore the tracks leading to the sea on the west coast. Nudism is tolerated on all the island’s beaches.
