With over 50km of dazzling white sand, and over 150 pristine beaches all around its coastline, Fuerteventura truly deserves its reputation as the beach paradise of Europe. This second largest of the Canary Islands with its pleasant weather all year round is the perfect place if you want to get away and immerse yourself into a world of immense tranquillity and natural beauty. In fact, even on the most popular beaches it is generally possible to find a quiet spot with no one in sight!

The arid and rocky desert landscapes of the interior of the Fuerteventura, dotted with pretty whitewashed villages, are reminiscent of northern Africa, the rich earth hues of the ground contrasting beautifully with the blue Atlantic waters.

Fuerteventura is a water sports mecca, particularly popular with windsurfers and kitesurfers who flock to the island from around the world to enjoy the strong winds that blow over Playa de Sotavento and Jandia. And still, no matter where the wind is blowing from, you will always find a choice of calm and sheltered beaches or coves for a pleasant day by the sea with all the family. There are also lots of stunning diving sites (including impressive underwater lava flows teeming with marine life) and plenty of opportunities for just about any sea sport you can imagine.

Most of the tourism in Fuerteventura is concentrated around the seemingly endless Jandia beach in the south of the island. The old fishing village of Corralejo in the north, surrounded by gorgeous dunes of white sand, is a quieter resort set in an area of astounding beauty.

If you are looking for the ideal place to unwind and forget about the stress of daily life, come and discover the exotic beauty of Fuerteventura and prepare to be pleasantly surprised!
