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 Costa Caleta 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.Popular Fuerteventura holiday resorts

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 catered 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.
