The Best Hotels to Book in Fuerteventura, the Canary Islands, for Every Traveller

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.

Enjoy an active-yet-relaxing holiday at this hotel. Book a tennis court and hit the gym, before relaxing in the hydrotherapy pools or with a couples massage. Staff can organise water sports like diving and surfing at the nearby beach, and advise on nearby cycling routes. The Dunas de Corralejo Natural Park is close by. Wind down in your contemporary room – the deluxe suite has an indoor hot tub and sea-view terrace – and at the buffet or pool bar-restaurant where you can go all-inclusive.

Every member of the family will love this activity-packed resort on the sandy shores of Caleta de Fuste – think windsurfing, beach volleyball and scuba diving courses.

Your beachside bungalow or studio is fully equipped, but visit the many restaurants and bars for international buffets and local cuisine. Marine-side El Puerto has nightly theatre shows enjoyed by all ages.

It’s all about seaside living at this modern hotel, in the historic former Parador Nacional de Turismo building, right by Playa Blanca. Expect to see and hear the waves from your contemporary room.

You’ll love the traditional dishes with avante-garde twists, made from locally sourced ingredients.

Golf lovers needn’t look further than this five-star hotel, featuring an 18-hole course. Brush up at clinics with professional players, browse the pro-shop and take transfers to other courses. Once you’ve hung up your club, enjoy poolside Bali beds, jacuzzis and daily live shows. The many restaurants host themed dinners – head to the Cellar for local wine and cheese tastings.

No need to lift a finger at this family-friendly, all-inclusive stay. Children will be happily kept busy at the fun club, kids’ pool and playground, while you enjoy live music shows, themed parties and yoga classes. Make the most of time for yourself with a massage or facial at the wellness centre. There’s eight pools and many stylish restaurants to satisfy all. Fancy a trip out? The Natural Park is next door and the beach is just 50m (164ft) away, where you can give surfing or paddleboarding a go.

Indulge at this Corralejo-based haven that’s just 550m (1,804ft) from the beautiful beach. You may not want to leave the peaceful adults-only hotel with its Bali bed-strewn heated pool, well-stocked lobby bar, gym and daily entertainment like live music and yoga classes. The wellness centre is a must-visit for its sauna, steam room, Turkish bath, whirlpool and massage treatments. Your appetite will always be satiated with inclusive breakfast and dinners, featuring buffet-style dessert in the sophisticated-yet-relaxed restaurant.

Experience unique relaxation in these luxury pod-like homes. All the family is welcome, including pets, thanks to the babysitter service, kids’ pool, games room and playground. Meanwhile, you can hop between the many pools and jacuzzis – both indoors and out – catch some rays at the natural sand solarium and pamper at the spa. You’ll feel well-looked-after with Thai massages and blow-dries. Enjoy your family dinner with live music, and culinary themes like Italian and barbecue.

La Marquesina has cycle hire and street parking, making it a great base for exploring Fuerteventura. Wake up in your seaside-themed room and start the day with continental breakfast. Helpful staff will advise on local must-sees like nearby beaches Corralejo – just two minutes’ walk away – Charco de Bristol and Las Clavellinas. When you’re tired out, refresh at the hotel’s coffee shop, outdoor pool and terrace. Book a sea-view balcony room for ultimate private relaxation.
