A Guide To Holidays In Fuerteventura
Fuerteventura holidays can range from budget two-star apartments to luxury five-star all-inclusive options and everything inbetween, and flights depart from across the UK including London Gatwick, Manchester, Birmingham and Glasow. So whether you're a golfer, party animal, or wanting to get some quality time away with the family or on an adults only getaway, check out the latest Fuerteventura holiday offers to see what's available within your budget.
Best Time To Go
While temperatures in July and August are in the late 20s, the winter months of December and January are still much warmer than the UK, with temperatures in the low 20s. The weather here is often bright and sunny, although it can get a little windy too.
The cheapest time to go is during the school term, avoiding Christmas, Easter and July/August. The months of May, June and September can have some excellent deals. Being flexible is definitely important for the best deals, whether you're hoping to get away next week, or in 2025. For example, take a look at the variety of hotels in the Costa Caleta, like the Sheraton Fuerteventura, the Elba Carlota or the Barcelo Fuerteventura Thalasso Spa Hotel which each have great facilities and are close to the beach. And don't forget the option of self catering apartments and villas either to help keep the cost down.
All Inclusive
All inclusive holidays to Fuerteventura can be an excellent way to both save money, and also not worry about putting your hand in your pocket while you're away. This can be especially good for families as all inclusive means the kids will be able to eat what they want and when they want, even if that does mean four ice creams before dinner! These hotels generally have all you can eat buffets with an extensive menu serving up both local and international food. Half board is another great option if you want the choice of going out to some of the local restaurants to try some traditional Canarian cuisine.
Luxury & Family
There are several luxury five-star resorts and even some of the four-star hotels provide a high level of service and food quality. Luxury brands such as TUI Platinum, Kuoni, Exclusive Holidays and Jet2's Indulgent Escapes all offer luxury stays. For families, most of the larger hotels provide excellent facilities like kids clubs, poolside activities and evening entertainment.
Getting To, From And Around Fuerteventura
As Fuerteventura is one of the Canary Islands, it's in a great position of having year-round flights from the UK, so winter sun seekers will often choose the island as their holiday location of choice. Top airlines including Jet2, TUI, Ryanair and easyJet all sell flights from across the UK including from Liverpool, Belfast and Glasgow, particularly in the summer months when the charter and low-cost airlines offer more flights to cater for an increase in holidaymakers.
Once you've arrived, getting about the island is easy enough by bus, however, if you prefer to go a little more off-piste, hiring a car is a fantastic option. You can either pick up a hire car from the airport or from a number of main tourist resorts and hotels dotted around the island. This is a great way to go and explore, discovering some of Fuerteventura's expansive beaches and sand dunes of Parque Natural de Corralejo.
A taxi from Fuerteventura airport to the main town of Corralejo will cost €40-50, but if you're planning to head to your resort to just relax and enjoy the facilities of the hotel, booking a preorganised coach transfer is a cost effective way to get from the airport. Many package holidays will have transfers included in the cost.
Things To Do In Fuerteventura
If you want to venture away from the pool or beach, there are lots of activities to see and do, from excursions to experience more of the culture of the Canaries, to more adventurous activities and even an experience with sea lions. Fuerteventura literally means strong (fuerte) wind (ventura) and it's understandable how it got it's name. The strong winds from the north-east mean that this Canary Island is perfect for the likes of surfing and wind-surfing. If you fancy a little adventure, be sure to book yourself a lesson or two.
For animal and nature lovers, Oasis Park, located in the south of the islands near the Costa Calma, is the place to go. With over 250 different animal species and the only botanical garden, it's a great day trip out when you fancy taking a break from the beach or pool. Alternatively you can book an excursion into the Parque Natural de Jandia, where you can explore the local landscape and even spot dolphins in the wild.
Golf is another favourite sport in the Canary Islands with six golf clubs and courses to choose from. For the perfect golf break in Fuerteventura, try a stay at the Hotel Elba Palace Golf, located a few minutes drive from the Caleta de Fuste and just south of the airport so you could be on the fairway within an hour of landing.
If you love a water park, then make sure you take the family to Acua Park in Corralejo, the island's only water park and one of the best water parks in the Canary Islands. Here there is a variety of waterslides and attractions including a lazy river, wave pool and children's area, perfect for a fun day out in the glorious sunshine. And don't worry if you've not hired a car. There's a shuttle bus service which runs from Jandia and Costa Caleta to the park which can be reserved for a fee.
Other activities well worth a go are a boat trip out to the Isla de Lobos (Lobos Island) on a glass-bottomed boat, where you may even be able to spot dolphins or pilot whales. The island is a short ferry ride from Corralejo in the north and ideal for hiking in the beautiful nature reserve. Or perhaps you might like a more adrenaline filled jet ski safari?

There are some of the best beaches in the Canaries here, with soft, white sandy beaches and crystal clear water, offering some of the most Instagrammable spots in Europe. The sea water can be cooler in Dec and Jan but it's still warm enough to head to the beach. Some of the more iconic or well-known areas include Morro Jable, located in the south of the island, where the combination of wide sandy beach, turquoise blue water and an active lighthouse make for a picturesque shot, likened to photos from the Caribbean.
Another area to take a check out are the beaches just south of Corralejo. Best explored with a car, popular beaches here include Playa Larga and Playa Bajo Negro, where the combination of sea, sand and clear blue sky are the stuff your holiday dreams are made of. What seems like out in the middle of nowhere, here you'll find the expansive resorts of Riu Oliva Beach Resort and Riu Palace Tres Islas, popular for an all inclusive holiday in the sunshine, with postive reviews on the likes of TripAdvisor.
For a day trip to a remote beach, head over to Playa de Esquinzo or Playa del Aguila where you can escape the crowds, particularly during the April or summer school holidays.
