Fuerteventura, the second largest of Spain’s Canary Islands, lies just 100km from the African coast, nestled by the Atlantic Ocean. A top holiday destination for many Brits, thanks to its year-round sunshine and stretches of golden sands, your luxury break is just a four-hour plane ride away … so pack your bags and let your Fuerteventura adventure begin.
 

Fuerteventura is sea and sand in the purest of forms. Discover an unspoiled coastline, turquoise waters and striking volcanic backdrops. With beaches of all kinds, the choices here are endless. Whether you want a secluded beach cove surrounded by cliffs, a sunbathing sanctuary or a spot for epic windsurfing, this island has it all.
 

Long sunny days, strong wind and waves up to two metres high make Fuerteventura a surfer’s paradise. Its watersport opportunities are one of the reasons travellers are lured to return year after year.
 

There are striking similarities to the Island’s neighbouring coastline, not only with the landscape but with its traditional Northern African style flat roofs collecting rainfall. You will also see rural villages merged with religious landmarks and Spanish style architecture. Steeped in history, the beautiful Fuerteventura is an enchanting mix of old and new with waterparks, bars and golf courses keeping holiday dreams alive.
 

Food in Fuerteventura is fresh and simple. The culinary scene is more about the catch of the day and sampling locally grown produce than dressing for dinner. You can expect for your taste buds to be seduced with delicious seafood, tapas and Canarian potatoes. Most restaurants are laid back and somewhat rustic, while the top-notch hotels usually offer multiple on-site restaurants that showcase a wealth of Spanish and international fare.
 

Resorts among the island are as luxury as they come. Most are designed to cater to families with a wide range of facilities including tennis courts, a golf course, spa, indoor and outdoor swimming pools and action-packed kids’ clubs as well as watersports and beach games. Adult-only retreats are also available for those yearning for a quiet oasis.
 

Excursions on offer in Fuerteventura are excellent. Visit the stunning town of Caleta de Fuste, stroll by spectacular sand dunes, marvel at volcanic landmarks, and practise your swing on one of the fantastic golf courses. Alternatively, take a catamaran cruise and discover the magical marine life on the quaint islet of Lobos. Why not enjoy some scenic snorkelling? You might get a chance to spot a dolphin. In the atmospheric Corralejo, have your go at watersports in the azure sea or spend the day at Corralejo Natural Dune Park, where you will discover island wildlife at its greatest.
 

Rest assured you will become mesmerised by Fuerteventura's unrivalled rugged beauty, gorgeous coastlines, and easy going pace of life.
