Fuerteventura Information for Tourists and Resident Expats

Fuerteventura Vacation

Fuerteventura as a vacation destination is awe inspiring, its sandy reaches blended with volcanic landscapes and immense flat and low volcanic cones, were once described as 'an oasis in the desert of civilisation' by poet and philosopher, Miguel de Unamuno. For a vacation Fuerteventura has many resorts where you can enjoy your stay.

Costa Caleta

A safe, sheltered beach with a wide horseshoe bay is the heart of this modern, expanding resort. Costa Caleta has quiet-tree lined streets with low-rise buildings. Numerous shops and a selection of bars, cafes and restaurants make it a popular option with families. The nightlife is varied to with plenty of bars hosting live music evenings, karaoke and a wide variety of restaurants.

Costa Calma

Costa Calma, or the calm coast as it is known, lies near to the stunning Jandia National Park. Beautiful sandy beaches adjacent to a long, unspoilt coastline are the main attraction of Costa Calma. Beach lovers look no further!

South of El Cotillo

Is the surfers beach but don't leave without taking the road north past sandy coves to the Punto De Ballena lighthouse. It's unmissable for the surf and Atlantic spray.

Jandia Peninsula and Morro Jable

The Jandia peninsula at the southern end of the island is a protected nature park supporting a variety of different ecosystems between the coast and central highlands. But for thousands of tourists it is famous for having the most brilliant beaches of all the Canary Islands - miles of fine white sand starting at Costa Calma and running down the east coast to resort of Morro Jable. This is an area of major tourist development with resorts growing by the week. The west coast, however, is undeveloped owing to the prevailing winds and strong seas, and many roads are negotiable only by four-wheel drive.

Morro Jable

The east coast road crosses a roundabout and turns into the smart tree-lined Avenida del Saladar, lined with souvenir shops and cafes. It's a short walk across the salt marsh opposite the shops to the Jandia lighthouse and fabulous white sands.
