Caleta de Fuste

Caleta is a lovely family resort about 20 minutes from the airport, with a sheltered beach, playgrounds, shops, restaurants and bars all within easy walking distance. A selection of water-based activities are offered in the harbour, including jet ski rentals, submarine excursions and scuba diving classes. It is also known for its golf courses, Fuerteventura Golf Club and Golf Club Salinas de Antigua where it is possible to hire clubs or get lessons. There are lots of nice restaurants to choose from and a long flat promenade to walk along. While there are a few lively bars to visit in the evening, most close at midnight and it might not suit anyone looking for nightlife.

Puerto del Rosario

Puerto del Rosario is a busy port close to the airport and the capital of Fuerteventura. Take a trip to look at the pretty whitewashed houses and open-air artworks, including giant snail sculptures along the harbor promenade. The old town has majority of the shops, bars and restaurants and there is also a modern shopping mall. If you use the buses to travel around the island, you may find yourself passing through.  Don’t miss the amazing self service drinks machine at the bus depot that serves the biggest range of coffees and hot chocolates we have ever seen for just a few Euros.

Jandia peninsula & Morro Jable

Jandia peninsula is in the southwestern part of the island, where many of the best beaches can be found along the stretch in between Morro Jable and Costa Calma.  Jandia is more quiet that some of the other resorts, with a few shops, bars etc and restaurants, the best of which are found in the old town area.

Sotavento

Sotavento is made up of five beaches La Barca, Risco del Paso, Mirador, Los Canarios and Malnombre. A sand barrier creates a lagoon  and is perfect for family swims of for beginners learning to windsurf or kitesurf. Check the tide timetables before you go.

Corralejo

Corralejo is a former fishing village, and the biggest resort in the north of the island. It tends to suits families and couples who want a more lively resort and tends to be the busiest of the resorts.  To reach it, travel North from the airport and takes the coast road through Corralejo Natural Park to find miles of stunning coastline and sand dunes , reminding you that the Saharan Morocco is just 60 miles to the east. The cafes, resturants and bars range from could-be-anywhere type of bars and cafes with photo menus, to more traditional Spanish tapas bars and seafood restaurants, some right by the beach.  You can also take a day trip to the nearby Lobos Island, a nature preserve with rare birds or across to Lanzarote.  The ferry crossing too Playa Blanca operates daily and takes about 25 minutes.
