Fuerteventura Holiday Guide
To many, Fuerteventura is known as “the island of eternal spring” in recognition of its persistently pleasant climate year-round. It enjoys little to no rain in the summer, with only a few wet days between October and March.
Travel to Corralejo, appreciate its charming streets and alleys and dine in its delectable restaurants and cafés. Feed that shopaholic in you and pick up a souvenir a one of the many boutique shops. Just outside the town centre you’ll find miles of sand dunes in the Corralejo National Park. Stroll across the sand at your leisure, enjoy the scenery and forget the worries back home.
When you really feel like it’s time to chill, get yourself a lounger and sunbathe on Corralejo Beach. Or choose from the countess other beaches on the island, such as Cotillo Beach and Sotavento de Jania Beach. These serene beaches, with their sapphire blue seas, have very few buildings to interfere with nature on the great, sprawling areas of sand.
The island’s name developed from the Spanish term for “strong winds,” which explains its pull for windsurfers. Take your board out on the rough water and enjoy the view of the island’s rugged coastline.
For a change of scenery, head to Ajuy Beach, with its black sand formed from a volcanic eruption. Its yellow rocks combine well with the blue sea and sky for otherworldly photo opportunities. Explore caves and beautiful rock formations next to the beach.
The local language is Spanish, dating back to the island’s colonization many centuries ago. English is also widely spoken around the resorts and attractions.
To reach the island, get a flight to Fuerteventura Airport in the El Matorral area on the east coast. Take a shuttle bus from the airport to your desired destination. Corralejo is 24 miles (39 kilometers) north, which will take about 30 minutes in a taxi.
Choose Fuerteventura for a relaxing holiday with the family on white, sandy beaches surrounded by picturesque sand dunes and parks.
Q: Should I book a car while on holiday in Fuerteventura?
A: If you're going to be in the centre of Puerto del Rosario or La Oliva for a couple of days, perhaps not. But if you're going to stay longer and plan to venture out into the region of Las Palmas or farther afield, go for it. Nothing beats the freedom you get with your own wheels. With a little help from our guide to Cheap Car Hire in Fuerteventura, finding a ride is a piece of cake.

A: Pack your bags and stay at one of the leading apartments. They're one of the most common hotel types. Hotels, villas and all-inclusive hotels are also readily available here.

Q: What is the best way to save money on my holiday to Fuerteventura?
A: One of the simplest ways to save money is to bundle your bookings with the help of Expedia. Flights, Hotels and Car Rentals can be combined into a personalized holiday package — doing this will save you precious time as well. Keep this in mind before making your booking.
Q: What are the best things to do in Fuerteventura?
A: If Puerto del Rosario features in your travel plans, you have options galore. The most frequented include Alcogida Eco Museum, Chica Beach and Maxopadel — head to these to understand why.
There's adventure for everyone during your stay in La Oliva — get your skates on and head to El Toston Castle, La Concha Beach and Montaña de Tindaya.
And if your final stop is Pajara, we'd recommend making time for Matorral Beach, Morro Jable Shopping Centre and Cesar Crespo Golf Acadmy.
