Fuerteventura Holidays

Fuerteventura is a popular holiday destination and is often a hub of activity. If you are wanting to avoid the crowds, then we suggest you head to the more secluded Jandia on the southern coast. Jandia offers a beautiful and quieter retreat that is perfect for families. Relaxation is the name of the game down on the southern coast and Jandia will allow you to holiday at your own pace, leaving room judgement free siestas.

Other firm family favourites are the Costa Calma or Caleta de Fuste. Caleta de Fuste has beautiful secret coves and coastal walks, as well as a golf course. The secluded Morro Jable, not far from Jandia, is great for a beach day out, and the popular area of Corralejo is the right place to begin your holiday at Fuerteventura. On the opposite side of Corralejo is the quieter area of El Cotillo, perched on a rocky cliff with a delightful bay. 

Fuerteventura is the king of the Canaries for wining and dining during your holidays, beating off its rivals Lanzarote and Tenerife. Fuerteventura has a fantastic spread of choice, and all tastes and flavours are catered for in style! Restaurante El Horno in the north of Fuerteventura is just superb for authentic ribs and seafood in a unique and traditional setting.

Sanus Fuerteventura in Corralejo is also a must to enjoy fine dining and a bottle of Rioja in a crisp, contemporary setting. Avenida Restaurante in the Corralejo harbour is a seafood paradise, and with a more than ample wine cellar, you’re sure to find the perfect white to accompany your meal.

Further south, Nuevo Kwizeen in Caleta de Fuste is a bustling spot for tasty bites and a varied menu as well as good company, and if you’re really looking to treat yourself on your holiday then a grille at the Beach Club Chiringuito La Isla near to Caleta de Fuste is unbeatable. Indulging in wine and dining on Fuerteventura is a splendid experience, ask at your all hotel for the local cuisine to engage with the local culture.

Those of you with adventure on the brain need not fear, as Fuerteventura is a water sports haven. Windsurfing and kite surfing are the most popular sports on Fuerteventura and there are schools located on the beaches to help you become a pro on the waves in no time. Due to the close proximity of the other Canary Islands, including Lanzarote, the sea is often calm. Most all-inclusive hotels and resorts will be able to direct you to the right destinations to enjoy the ocean.

If you’re in need of a little motivation, The World Wind Surfing Championship is held here every July. Take some tips from the pros as they battle it out on the waves. Lots of resorts on Fuerteventura offer slices of private beachfront. Try the Costa Calma, aptly named for a relaxing day on the beach. The biggest attraction of a Fuerteventura holiday is the fact you're never far from a beach - whether you're in Corralejo or Jandia, there are beaches to match Fuerteventura's Canaries cousins, like Tenerife or Lanzarote.

If nightlife is your passion, you’ll love what Fuerteventura holidays offer. There are hidden gems to enjoy across Fuerteventura.

Fuerteventura carries a deep Spanish influence in its culture, although you’ll very quickly discover that the island has a lot of its own personality and flair!  Holidays to Fuerteventura in 2018 or 2019 will be packed full of cultural delights, enough to make it worthwhile leaving the hotel! The cultural scene and nightlife are plentiful, and the locals certainly love a carnival!

All the towns on the island host their own celebration of dance, music and food in February and March, and usually a series of smaller events during the year. Betancuria is well regarded as the cultural hub of Fuerteventura as it plays host to the island’s main museums of history, religion and archaeology, as well as a fine selection of eateries and bars.

The home-cooked cuisine is also a big part of Fuerteventura life, and your holiday won’t be complete without sampling one of the many varieties of goat stews and chops, as well as the local speciality of ‘Gofio’ – a delicious toasted corn and wheat flour accompaniment to delicious soups and stews. You’ll love the Spanish vibe with a local twist that Fuerteventura offers, and the result is a uniquely fascinating island culture not to be found anywhere else on earth.
