Luxury holidays in Fuerteventura

Often overshadowed by its siblings, Fuerteventura in the Canary Islands seduces with secluded sand beaches and lunar landscapes. Surfers chase breaks along the west coast, while inland, hikers take to cactus-dotted trails for mountain viewpoints and dramatic desertscapes. In Betancuria, history lingers in sun-faded walls and tranquil courtyards. Balmy evenings bring the chance to take meals slowly beneath a wide, starlit sky.

When to go

Fuerteventura is a year-round destination, popular for winter sun. For a quieter experience, plan your trip for September or early October; April or May, thus avoiding the summer crowds and peak temperatures.

Getting there

  • Planes

    You can fly to Fuerteventura International Airport from many European cities. From there, it’s best to rent a car or rely on hotel transfers.

  • Automobiles

    A set of wheels is desirable for exploring the island and if you’re planning to head up into the mountains, something with 4WD will come in handy.
