Fuerteventura Palace Hotel

We have already talked before about this hotel on Jandia beach, really close to Morro Jable, as it is one of the most versatile and complete accommodations of the area. Although it is a hotel for all types of clients, both its services and its common areas and rooms have been designed to offer an extra of comfort to those who travel as a couple with or without children. In fact, it features reserved areas for adults and game areas for children. Besides, it is located in front of the beach, which makes it an ideal accommodation for the practice all type of water sports.

Playa Gaviotas Hotel

Near the previous one, really close to the famous Matorral beach, one of the most unspoilt and stunning beaches of the south of Jandia, we find this hotel ideal for travelling with children. With good communications with the different areas of Fuerteventura, with the main theme parks and leisure water areas, zoos and cultural tourist attractions, this is a hotel with fully-equipped rooms designed for the whole family and with an All Inclusive service which allows for the organisation of a trip at an adjusted budget.

Apart from its varied gastronomy, All Inclusive board, games room, sports and relax areas, its rooms in Jandia are one of the hallmarks of this establishment. They are modern, spacious and versatile rooms equipped for the comfort of adults and children and with details that will allow you to organise a personalised trip.

Sports that you must try while in Fuerteventura

By Luke Durden in Water sports

Fuerteventura is one of the favourite destinations for all those who practice water sports, like surfing or windsurfing. Its excellent winds and spectacular beaches that extend along miles of virtually unspoiled coastline, make this island a paradise to venture to learn or, for those who are already active fans, to escape to and enjoy the excitement of the ferocious Atlantic waves. In fact, it is in Fuerteventura where every summer the World Windsurfing and Kiteboarding Championship is celebrated.

If you have planned to travel to Fuerteventura this Autumn, and you are a windsurf enthusiast, book a hotel in Corralejo and challenge yourself to try the incredible waves created in this northern coast. The best beaches to practise windsurfing are Mats Blanca, El Burro, Piedra Playa and Butihondo, and close to them (or very close to) you find schools dedicated exclusively to this sport, with intensive courses for those spending a few days on the island.

Diving is another water sport that you can enjoy on Fuerteventura like in no other place. In this case, the best advice is that you choose a hotel in Playa de Jandia or a hotel near Matorral beach, as it is here, at the southern end of the island where you find the calmer waters, and the immersions allow greater visibility, as well as an additional level of safety.

For those that prefer ground sports, it is always a good alternative is to choose a hotel in Jandia and organise trekking, Nordic walking and hiking trips in the area surrounding the coast, where you can find stunning beaches like Cofete beach.

Parasailing, water skiing, climbing and canyoning, caving… Fuerteventura lends itself to almost any sporting whim that visitors have, and prices are quite affordable. Also, if you do not want or cannot move your sporting equipment, there is a good number of shops and nautical schools that rent out all necessary equipment without problems.
