Fuerteventura is home to bronzed beaches, pristine golf courses and world-famous water sports destinations. You can relax in five-star comfort at these luxury hotels on the second-largest of Spain‘s Canary Islands off the coast of North West Africa. The hotels are on or near some of the finest beaches, including Playa de las Gaviotas and Playa Morro Jable, plus Playa de la Barreta in Corralejo on the north coast, with views of Isla de Lobos.

Of the three Iberostar resorts in this southernmost corner of Fuerteventura, the Palace is the most serene and sophisticated.

All 437 rooms and suites have comforts like coffeemakers, balconies and large Smart TVs. There are four pools and the spa features a jetted pool and thermal circuit. The main restaurant has a team of show cooks preparing made-to-order fish, steak and pasta, plus room service is an option around the clock.

Bahiazul Villas & Club isn’t just one of the top hotels in Fuerteventura, it’s one of the best in all of the Canary Islands. This stylish collection of villas is close to the action of Corralejo but at enough of a distance to provide peace and quiet. All 95 accommodations are bi-level villas with three bedrooms, open kitchens, private pools, and roof decks. The buffet restaurant serves breakfast, free with all bookings, and dinner, while the spa has a sauna and Turkish bath and offers treatments using Canarian aloe, salt and volcanic stones.

Avanti Lifestyle Hotel

Thanks to the fact it is one of the first hotels in the north of Fuerteventura, Avanti has a prime beachfront plot in Corralejo, around which the town has developed over the decades. It has just 14 rooms, an adult-only policy and boutique vibe which make it stand out in an area where Spanish and international hotel chains are prevalent. You will love the attention to detail here, including in-room Nespresso coffee, Rituals bath products, turndown service and ‘maxi bars’ for whipping up cocktails.

Barceló Corralejo Bay

Suite Hotel

Judging from the outside, Barceló Corralejo Bay might seem like a generic all-inclusive, but its local flair and adult-oriented nature distinguish it from the pack. Bright, modern rooms start at a generous 450sqft (42sqm) and come with bathrobes and slippers, coffee and tea replenished daily and furnished terraces or balconies. The indoor/outdoor spa and water circuit are highlights, alongside the suites with private hot tubs overlooking the ocean.

Elba Palace is situated in the middle of Fuerteventura Golf Course, one of the most highly regarded in the archipelago.

Don’t forget to pay a visit to the wine cellar, with more than 300 varieties to sample, plus an extraordinary collection of more than 1,000 brandies.
