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.
