Boasting sun, sand and glorious blue waters, it’s no wonder Fuerteventura is a favourite with holidaymakers. More geared towards those in need of relaxation than those who want to stay up all night partying, it’s also the ideal destination for traveling to with the family. Enjoy a great holiday for all ages with our guide to some of the island’s best resorts and accommodation.

Costa Calma
Due to its long stretch of sheltered sandy beaches, Costa Calma is one of the island’s top family resorts. There’s lots of space for the kids to play while you relax and soak up the sun. With palm tree lined streets, the resort really does have character and there’s a great selection of bars and restaurants to suit everyone.

You’ll also find La Lajita nearby which is home to the Oasis Park Zoo – an ideal destination for a day out with the family!

WHERE TO STAY: You’ll find 4-star luxury at the Sunrise Costa Calma Palace, great value at the Sunrise Crystal Beach Hotel and a self-catering option at Playa Paraiso.

Morro Jable
With an attractive coastline and quaint harbour, Morro Jable is another of Fuerteventura’s major resorts. Known as Playa del Matorral, the sandy beach stretches on for miles and boasts a busy harbour as well as a lighthouse. Enjoy a selection of water sports on offer or relax and unwind in the numerous restaurants, bars and cafes dotted along the beachfront.

Caleta de Fuste
For a quieter family holiday, head to Caleta de Fuste where you’ll find a nicely sheltered beach and a fantastic swimming complex next to the El Castillo Fort. As well as exploring the fortress castle on the sea front, you’ll also find plenty of boat trips from the harbour to keep the kids entertained.

WHERE TO STAY: Barcelo Fuerteventura Thalasso Spa (shown above) is probably your best bet for family-friendly accommodation, boasting fantastic entertainment, fun for the kids and live entertainment each night. If you’d prefer quieter self-catering accommodation, Hotel Blue Sea Puerto Caleta is also a great choice.

Corralejo
Definitely one of the island’s most picturesque resorts, Corralejo’s beaches and harbour are really something special with its famous sand dunes forming part of the Corralejo Natural Park. Though Corralejo is a bustling resort crammed full of shops and friendly bars, it still has a relaxed vibe with a nice harbour and a pretty old town.

The resort also boats plenty of good facilities and plenty of things to do including surfing, sailing and diving as well as easy access to Lanzarote and Los Labos from the harbour.

WHERE TO STAY: Close to the beach and offering fantastic facilities for the whole family, Suite Hotel Atlantis is a great choice and offers all-inclusive options.
