Plenty of beaches to go around

For most people, a holiday in Fuerteventura is all about the beach. With more than 150 to choose from, you won’t have a hard time discovering one that’s just right for you and your family.

If you are searching for cheap holidays to Fuerteventura in 2019, look for deals on all-inclusive package deals in Fuerteventura’s two main resort areas.

Corralejo, on the north coast, promises broad, golden swathes of sand, bath-warm waters and British accents aplenty. The town itself strikes a fine balance between old and new, with quaint seafood restaurants and authentic tapas bars co-existing alongside the shiny and newer-looking main drag. Beyond the beaches, the golden dunes of the pristine Parque Natural de Corralejo stretch inland.

The island’s south-coast resorts, such as Morro Jable and Jandía, are a hit with in-the-know German holidaymakers and prime hunting ground for both luxury Fuerteventura breaks and more package deals on cheap holidays in Fuerteventura. Many of the beaches in this part draw nudist bathers keen to evenly bronze every last inch of themselves. 

Breezy adventures

Thanks to the near-constant breeze that blows across the island, Fuerteventura is a dream locale for wind-driven water sports.

Kitesurfers, windsurfers and plain old surfers flock to both the north-shore beaches, such as those in Corralejo, and the south-shore stretches, such as Sotavento Beach, to ride the swells as they whip in to shore.

Though most visitors on all-inclusive holidays in Fuerteventura tend to stick to the more sedate pursuits of sunbathing and swimming, there are countless opportunities to dip your toe into the island’s surf scene if you wish. Surfing schools provide good deals on lessons for wannabe surfers.   

Into Fuerteventura’s interior

Away from the water’s edge, Fuerteventura is an arresting patchwork of bone-dry plains, gnarled lava fields and craggy volcanic ridges. Peppered among the arid valleys of the interior are whitewashed villages where the tourist trade has yet to leave a mark.

When to go 

Holidays in Fuerteventura hit one of those rare sweet spots where the weather is pretty much always pleasant, so it's an ideal destination for a last-minute break. Temperatures don’t fluctuate too wildly here, with winter only just a few degrees cooler than summer.

December to February is a popular time to visit to soak up some winter sun, which means hotel prices can soar. July and August are also popular months as family holidays in Fuerteventura tick the boxes of both adults and kids. Temperatures during summer can break 30C but that lovely breeze keeps things manageable.  

Events for your diary

Pro windsurfers and kitesurfers show off their skills during the Windsurfing and Kiteboarding World Cup in July/August.

In November, the prevalent wind plays a role in another key Fuerteventura event, as a sea of artfully shaped and creatively coloured kites float in the skies during Corralejo's Kite Festival.
