Come to the Canary Islands’ Fuerteventura for its long stretches of sand, traditional picturesque villages and beautiful surrounding hills. Explore the island’s beaches, try watersports in the Atlantic Ocean and tuck into Canarian and Spanish cuisine – washed down with refreshing sangria. You’ll love our list of hotels – bookable with Culture Trip – whether you’re looking for an adults-only boutique or a family-friendly resort.

This ocean-framed, adults-only hotel is all about luxury. Relax in chic rooms that overlook the neighbouring islands of Lobos and Lanzarote, sink into the spa’s whirlpool tub and ice fountain before getting a blow-out at the hair salon, or sprawl out on a Bali bed by a freshwater pool. Endeavour to eat at each of the seven stylish restaurants, which serve up everything from seaside grills to pan-Asian cuisine. Evenings should be spent enjoying live shows and cocktail bar DJ sets.
