These serene beaches, with their sapphire blue seas, have very fewbuildings to interfere with nature on the great, sprawling areas of sand.

The island’s name developed from the Spanish termfor “strong winds,” which explains its pull for windsurfers. Take your boardout on the rough water and enjoy the view of the island’s rugged coastline.

"This was our second stay at Blue Sea Jandia Luz and it is every bit as good as last year. Nice big rooms, comfortable beds and good food. The pool is nice too. Entertainment which is only once a week was not not very good this time. Would certainly recommend."
