Fuerteventura thrives on the tourism here but you’ll find that it’s easy to get away from the main tourist resort. This popular holiday destination attracts thousands of holiday makers each year.

Here are the top 5 reasons why:

1. The ultimate beach holiday

This island is typified by arid, desert like landscapes and life on this island is centred on the coastal areas. There are miles of stunning beaches stretching out along the coastline of the island. Beach connoisseurs with love the white sands and surfers will be thrilled by the windy conditions.

2. Fantastic weather

Fuerteventura is blessed with almost constant sunshine. Travellers to this island simply need to pack a selection of beachwear, some strong sunblock and a jazzy beach towel and your set for a day on the beach. Although Fuerteventura means ‘strong winds’ - don’t be put off! There are plenty of sheltered places to throw down your beach towel.

3. Accommodation to suit all

There is an excellent choice of accommodation in Fuerteventura and whether you are travelling as a family, group or couple you will find something to suit your tastes. If the bustling resorts with their self catering apartments and luxury hotels are not for you you’ll find many secluded villas to choose from.

4. Cheap flights to Fuerteventura

If you are looking for a cheap holiday then Fuerteventura is definitely worth considering. Cheap flights to Spain are readily available from the UK and most of the main airports have cheap flights to Fuerteventura specifically.

5. Plenty to do

A great trip out is to the Jandia peninsula which includes the breathtaking beaches of Playa de Sotavento de Jandia. These beautiful beaches offer great sunbathing, swimming and surfing opportunities. Alternatively head to the Corralejo dunes which can be found north in a protected area. The resort itself offers little but the dunes will dazzle you with their white sands and crystal blue waters.

Fuerteventura is a great destination with much to offer the beach lover.
