About Fuerteventura

A little bit closer to Africa than its neighbour, Lanzarote, Fuerteventura’s towns are colourful, its volcano ridged landscape striking and it gets plenty of sunshine. The best places to stay in Fuerteventura can mostly be found in Corralejo or Morro Jable, which are the island’s two main resorts.

Most people are just interested in its beaches, arguably some of the biggest and best in the Canary Islands. Fuerteventura’s beaches aren’t just lauded by sun and sand lovers though, these are blustery wonderlands much loved by windsurfers, kitesurfers and anyone who likes their waters wind-whipped.

If your idea of the best location on Fuerteventura is more remote, then this UNESCO biosphere reserve won’t disappoint - some of it is very developed and some is untouched.

As well as the numerous beaches and stunning landscape, Fuerteventura offers plenty of cultural entertainment. There’s several beautifully restored local buildings, some of which house museums or art galleries, and some wonderfully ancient churches.

What Not To Miss

  • Be sure to visit the stunning Parque Natural de las Dunes de Corralejo. This 11km long area of sand dunes is truly desert-like, whilst down by the coast there's a beautiful beach to spend the day at.
  • The Centro de Artesania Molino de Antigua has an historic picturesque windmill as well as a little museum that's great if you want to learn a bit more about the island.
  • Check out the quirky Centro de Arte Canario which houses a variety of fascinating artworks including some outdoor sculpture. What's more, it boasts lovely views and a café.
  • Oasis Park Fuerteventura is a beautiful nature reserve located in the south of the island. Home to over 3000 animals and with a splendid botanic garden, you'll love spending a day wandering around this idyllic spot.

Don't forget that the Canary Islands are busy with sun seekers year round, so if you want to bag a bed in one of the best places to stay in Fuerteventura, you'll have to be organised and book early.

Travel Information

  • Fuerteventura boasts lovely weather all year round, so there's really never a bad time to go! It is hottest during the summer months, with the average temperature around 26°C in July and August. This is also the busiest time of year to visit, so if you want to avoid too many other tourists then opt for one of the quieter months in Spring or Autumn.
  • You can fly into Fuerteventura Airport (FUE) which is situated 3 miles southwest of the capital, Puerto del Rosario.
