 With
magnificent white sand beaches, stunning
dunes and virtually guaranteed sunshine,
Fuerteventura is an idyllic destination
for a relaxing holiday, year round.
This, the second largest of the Canary
Islands and considered to be the oldest,
is regarded as less developed and
predominantly quieter than its
neighbours. Fuerteventura boasts an
incredible selection of beaches, over
150 in total, with fine white sands
blown across from the Sahara Desert.
This, together with its blend of
volcanic landscapes, peaceful resorts
and abundance of water sports,
Fuerteventura attracts holiday makers of
all persuasions. |

Caleta de Fuste |
|
 This
modern resort is one of the most well
known tourist areas on the island.
Located on the sheltered eastern coast
with its beautiful horseshoe shaped bay
and calm turquoise waters Caleta de
Fuste is ideal for families as well as
those with a penchant for water sports.
The beach is made up of imported pale
golden sand and its shallow waters
provide a haven for bathers of all ages,
whilst the tranquil waters of the bay
are perfect for windsurfing and other
aquatic activities. Nightlife is, to
some extent, low-key but there is a good
variety of bars and restaurants which
are concentrated around the main,
tree-lined street. Caleta de Fuste is a
carefully designed purpose built holiday
resort and is a winning combination of a
peaceful location with a range of
activities to occupy the whole family. |

Costa Calma |
|
Situated on the south of the island,
Costa Calma is renowned for its stunning
white sandy beaches stretching
approximately 12 miles along the coast.
Even in high season, the beaches seem
quiet and with clear waters lapping
against the shore, and a relaxed
atmosphere, Costa Calma is a must for
sun worshippers. Based around the small
village of Canada del Rio, the resort
has been sensitively developed and a
green zone, running the length of the
town, divides the urbanized areas and
provides a natural wildlife sanctuary.
Whilst there is no central area due to
the length of the town, there are a
number of bars, restaurants and shopping
centres spread throughout the resort so
all amenities are within a short stroll. |

Corralejo |
|
 Once
a sleepy fishing village, Corralejo has
now developed into Fuerteventura's
premier tourist resort. Located on the
northern most tip of the island,
Corralejo is the largest and liveliest
of the resorts yet has still managed to
retain the charm of its village origins.
The colourful town centre boasts white
sandy beaches and the main street,
leading to the harbour, is lined with
numerous shops, bars and restaurants
offering a wide range of goods and
international fare. The resort offers a
wealth of water sports and activities
for all ages and is an ideal base from
where to explore the island. Sand dunes
and sandy beaches surround the town and
Grandes Playa beach, located just
outside the resort, is a popular retreat
for holidaymakers with magnificent white
sands and crystal clear waters. |
