Fuerteventura

Endless beaches & wind

Fuerteventura is about beaches done perfectly: kilometres of white sand, turquoise water and near-constant wind that makes it the surf and kitesurf capital of the islands. It's the place to switch off and do gloriously little.

Know before you go

Best for

Beach lovers, surfers and kitesurfers, families on a budget, and anyone chasing calm.Maybe skip if: travellers wanting museums, mountains or nightlife.

When to go

Warm all year; naturally windy — which is exactly the point for water sports.

Getting around

A car is essential; a 4x4 for the wild, remote Cofete beach.

💡 Local tip

The north around El Cotillo is more authentic than Corralejo. Book ahead for Isla de Lobos — daily visitor numbers are capped.
