Holidays to Fuerteventura
Fuerteventura is an island favourite with holidaymakers all year round, known for its amazing dunes, golden sandy beaches and out-of-this-world landscapes. It’s a favourite for all sorts of visitors; be it couples, families or solo travellers. Located to the south of Lanzarote, Fuerteventura is the second-largest island of the Canaries and was created over 20 million years ago through volcanic eruptions, evidence of which you can see today through its black sand beaches.
During your holidays in Fuerteventura, you will soon discover why it is considered a paradise for outdoor sports lovers. Why not surf off the beaches of Jandia or if you are interested in kitesurfing, head north to Corralejo. No matter where you are on the island, take a hike to experience this island's amazing trails and views too.
