Discover this perfect island destination
known for its excellent weather, charming
towns, and countless serene beaches that
are ideal for both relaxation and explo-
ration. Fuerteventura doesn’t mean “grand
adventure” for nothing!
What to do: The whole of this subtropi-
cal isle is a UNESCO biosphere reserve,
and beyond the stretches of inviting
beaches, Fuerteventura boasts a variety of
landscapes, including ancient volcanoes,
lava flows, plunging cliffs, and dramatic
sand dunes. For a bit of culture, the charm-
ing town of Antigua, which was founded in
the 18th century, boasts numerous historic
attractions and a bustling market.
Where to do it: Whether you want to
lounge on the sand, go surfing, or just let the
water caress your bare feet, La Concha
beach is among the island’s most popular. If
you’re looking for isolation, Playa de
Sotavento consists of 13 miles of stunning
white-sand strands. Adventure seekers will
love trekking across the surreal desert-like
Corralejo Dunes, rewarding those who
make the journey with the epic sight of enor-
mous sand mounds and clear turquoise
waters.
Why go now: While the Canaries are
renowned for near-perfect year-round
weather, temperatures begin to climb in the
spring, making water sports that much
more enjoyable. The fact that it’s considered
a shoulder season, with less crowds and
better airfare prices, seals the deal.
Insider’s tip: The surrounding waters
are populated by a variety of marine species,
including eagle rays, tunas, and moray eels.
Abyss Fuerteventura offers guided dives to
popular sites as well as certification classes
for those who’ve never taken the plunge and
are eager
to get wet.
