October 24, 2021 Elouise Mccaul

Drawn by its fiestas, late night discos and clubs, water parks and golf courses, visitors can't resist sunny Fuerteventura. Discover local culture in Betancuria, home to a cathedral and several museums, at Tefia's eco-museum or at one of February's quirky Carnaval celebrations. Cool down after a hot day on the beach or a hard night at the clubs at Baku Water Park.

Reviewed By Wayne2149 - Lanzarote, Spain

Getting there is an adventure in its self A unsurfaced rough track with a few hairpin bends and big drops thrown in Did it in my people carrier so any vehicle can do it Check your hire car allows off-road use as some track you and charge! The beach and views when there amazing There is a restaurant in Cofete so you can get away with taking food and drinks with you My only advice is get back before it gets dark !

Parque Natural de Corralejo

Reviewed By 335sherylf - Nottingham, United Kingdom

Amazing sand dunes... tranquil perfection... either choose sun beds or walk a little further to you own piece of heaven ... windbreaker / umbrella needed if sitting on towels and sand ... a cheeky little beach bar ...but better to take a picnic. Coast guards run the coast line ... if you are on a part with no station they still come over in beach buggies every so often. Blue flag amazing sands, sea and crashing waves good for dipping in a toe, wind surfing, kite surfing or surfing. It is a vast area so you can easily find a secluded spot. Get taxi/ bus to the two Rui hotels, turn right on beach and keep walking. Great day of sun and relaxation.

Isla de Lobos

Reviewed By BorisBru - Brussels, Belgium

We just got back from the island totally thrilled. Just 10 min by water taxi and you land on the little volcanic paradise that has stunning views from the montaña de caldera, relaxing sandy beach and hiking routes through the stunning volcanic landscape mixed with dunes that end up on the lighthouse. Even though it was a windy January day we could fully enjoy the island and it’s beauty. Though snorkelling was not possible due to cold weather and rough ocean. Very much recommended if you want to escape touristy parts of main island.

Sotavento Beach

Reviewed By FilipWalraeve - Loppem, Belgium

It's a long sandy beach, more then 4 km, with a huge Laguna, which is empty at low tide. So, at low tide you can have fantastic hikes over the sandbanks. This area is luckely protect for nature. So no hotels or houses in this unique landscape shaped by the ocean and the wind. During summer time the wind can be very hard. So, not so nice for a hike, but fantastic for windsurfing and kiting.

Finca Canarias Aloe Vera

Visit our ecological Aloe Vera plantations. Go through a 5000 year old history of this plant in a guided tour of 30 minutes, in which you can cut an Aloe Vera leaf, taste its pulp and flowers, and of course test all of our Aloe Vera products made from its pure gel. On the southern plantation, located near Gran Tarajal, we have about 2000 Aloe Vera plants, 650 olive trees, a vineyard and more than 100 cactus figs which we use to elaborate our natural products. On the northern plantation, which is located at the base of the DE LA ARENA Volcano in the town of La Oliva, you can enjoy a volcanic experience. In La Oliva, we also have an Aloe-Therapy centre, where you can enjoy a relaxing massage or a regenerating treatment, all done with fresh Aloe Vera.

well organized Eco-Aloe Farm with several different plants beyond the (more than) 1000 Aloe Vera. Elisa has taken us around for about 30 mins showing quite everything and explaining in clear and professional way how to use Aloe and its advanages. Shop has a wide variety of product. The whole place is really clean and organized. I recommend a visit.

Piscinas Naturales Aguas Verdes

Reviewed By L7768EQdavidd - Devon, United Kingdom

Friday 13th November we were on our way to visit Aguas Verde and the road signs took us to Playa del Valle. It is here that we parked our car and took the cliff pathway along the coast to see the pools. There journey from our hotel, Riu Palace Tres Islads, to here was 50 kilometres, mostly on very good roads, apart from the last few hundred metres which was on an unsurfaced road. Oh my word what an experience, the sound of the Atlantic Ocean pounding the lava coastline, the salty spray rising up and the colour of the water. The raw force of nature at work and it's best. We did not encounter another person as we walked along the coast. It was difficult to know when to stop and turn back as around the next corner was a sight as wonderful as the previous one. The shapes and formations of lava were absolutely astounding. The various coloured layers of rocks was fascinating and so eye catching. Large holes created in the lava, filled with bright green water, hence the name of the place "Green Pools".

Caletta De Fuste Beach

Reviewed By Suecogs

Beautiful wide sandy beach immaculately clean snack bar on the beach and a public toilet which is a bonus. There are a few rocks in places but they are visible and easily avoided. Great place to have a paddle and feed the fish if you have some bread or cake crumbs.plenty of sun beds and lifeguards in attendance every day.
