Where to Buy Property in Fuerteventura
If you have been on holiday to Fuerteventura in the Canary Islands, no
doubt you will have your favourite areas of the island to spend a
vacation. Certainly there are many great tourist resorts on the island to
choose from. However, when considering buying property on the island there
are currently two key locations for purchasing
Fuerteventura real estate - Caleta De Fuste and Corralejo.
Caleta De Fuste, known to the locals as “El Castillo”, is a purpose
built resort on the East coast of the island some 10 minutes drive from
Fuerteventura´s International Airport.
The resort is home to the first golf course on the island, home to the
Spanish PGA Open in 2004. There is already a good selection of fine
properties available in the area thanks to the efforts of several leading
Spanish developers. These are the same developers that are responsible
for Caleta De Fuste’s top hotels including the award winning Atlantico
Centre.
However, the resort will soon boast a new golf course and there are a
number of very interesting new properties currently in development in
conjunction with the course. For those looking to buy property in
Fuerteventura, Caleta De Fuste therefore offers a choice of high quality,
completed real estate or the opportunity to invest in off-plan new
developments.
Real estate in Caleta de Fueste is segmented into three areas - Central
Caleta which tends to be more tourist than residential, the golf courses
and Montana Blanca also known as Chipmunk mountain where there are
numerous developments with impressive sea and mountain views.
The beach at Caleta is protected somewhat from the harbour walls and
largely remains very calm making it ideal for families with children.
Wind surfing, jet skis and other water sports are offered in the area with
any equipment needed readily available for hire. This makes the area very
popular with holiday makers and, as you are almost guaranteed year-round
rentals, Caleta De Fuste is an ideal location for those who are wishing to
but property as an investment.
Caleta is a good base to take a holiday or to live. Real estate here is
a sound investment as it is fairly central in the island and therefore
ideal for rental purposes as transfer times from the airport are minimal.
Corralejo is the principal resort on the island. Built around its
original harbour the narrow streets in this area house an abundance of
shops, restaurants and plazas. The resort has grown and now stretches to
the edge of the famous sand dunes that simply take your breath away - the
kind of setting postcards were made for! Corralejo is the perfect
location for purchasing new developments ‘off plan.’
The main street of the resorts boasts numerous shops selling everything
from clothes, and perfume to leather goods and gifts. There is also an
abundance of restaurants offereing cuisine from all over the world.
Children are well catered for in Corralejo too. The first waterpark on the
island is located here as well as various fun activities like bowling,
mini-golf and a golf driving range. An amusement park is currently in
construction which will be a further attraction for those considering a
family holiday.
With all it offers to adults and children alike as a tourist
destination, those buying property with the intention of letting to
holiday makers will find Corralejo a sound choice.
