Fuerteventura

The Canary Islands are a paradise of sun and beach of great scenic appeal, gastronomic wealth and entertainment for all types of travelers, although the biggest tourist attraction lies in the pleasant average temperature that is maintained throughout the year, making it possible to enjoy a perfect holiday at any time of year. For those looking for tranquility, the island of Fuerteventura is the best option of all possible when travelling to the so-called "Fortunate Islands", as calm and serenity are the main attractions of this island of the Canary archipelago, a quality that is reflected in most of the hotels in Fuerteventura.

Fuerteventura is also known for being the Canary Island with the warmest temperatures and the longest beaches, which makes it an ideal place to practice all kinds of water sports, such as surfing or windsurfing and to enjoy an unforgettable family holiday thanks to its wide range of leisure activities for children and adults.

Fuerteventura is a land of contrasts, with a unique charm in the environment, although it is far from the jungle landscape of other nearby islands. Volcanoes such as the mountain of Tindaya, together with its beaches of fine light sand or coarse black sand, make this island an extraordinary destination for those travellers who want to enjoy unique and unrepeatable enclaves in their days off. It is worth mentioning the beauty of the dunes, typical of the desert landscape that in many areas reminds us of a typical African picture, and the natural reserves that dominate more than eighty percent of the entire landscape.

When planning a getaway to Fuerteventura, it is worth booking a hotel that offers its guests all the comforts and services of a holiday accommodation up to the standards of the most demanding travellers. To get the location of the hotel in Fuerteventura right, it is advisable to stay in the most outstanding areas of the island, such as in the Corralejo area, located in the north of the island, or on the beach of Jandía, in the south.

The tranquility and relaxation that the island offers to its visitors make it a great place to enjoy health, wellness and hydrotherapy treatments, such as the spa available at the hotels in Fuerteventura best rated by travelers.
