Boasting kilometres of white soft sand, turquoise waters and a year-round sunny climate, Fuerteventura is the poster child of a dream holiday destination. Holidays here are all about enjoying the 350km of coastline. From the quiet and secluded sports at Cofete to the bustling hub of Jandia, beach life is never far away. The island’s Parque Natural de Corralejo also stretches along the coast for 10km with its dramatic sand dunes. The popular town of Corralejo is a mix of rustic and modern influences, where nightclubs and karaoke bars meet tapas restaurants and traditional live music. Further along the coastline, Costa Caleta is ideal for families thanks to its water sports, beaches and day trips.
