Adult Only Hotels & Resorts in Fuerteventura
There are more adult-only resorts in Fuerteventura than you can count. The stunning archipelago has several hotels with world-class amenities to cater to travellers. And with so much to see, you will need a comprehensive take on what happens here. That is why we have prepared this guide to help you plan your vacation.
What is the weather like in Fuerteventura
The island has a sub-tropical with sweltering summers and very mild winters. Fuerteventura is perched only a few miles off the African coast in a region that receives hot and sunny weather all year round. Ideally, the island can be visited all year-round thanks to its 3000 hours of sunshine and dry climate.
The summer months (July and September) are the hottest season, with temperatures rarely dipping below 25°C and averaging 28°C. However, the season is windier, with several breezes coursing through the island, making kitesurfing and windsurfing a great itinerary. It also makes for a beautiful beach experience because the wind lowers the impact of the heat.
Autumn (October) or Spring (April and June) are great alternatives for travellers who want milder conditions. The average temperatures during the season range between 21°C and 23°C, which is still warm enough to enjoy a beach vacation or go sightseeing around the island. The peak season on the island is the summer months of June, July and August. For an intimate vacation, you must plan your vacation outside these months.
What to expect from Fuerteventura
Like all Canary Islands, Fuerteventura is known for its immaculate all-inclusive resorts. But there is so much more to the island than expensive champagne and glistening swimming pools. Whereas the island is the second-largest among its peers, it only ranks fourth after Tenerife, Gran Canaria, and Lanzarote as the most populous island. The island's name is a mashup of two Spanish words, "Fuerte," to mean strong and "Ventura", and fortune and a reference to the island's strong winds.
The island is moderately developed, and the best way to get around is by hiring a car at the airport after flying in. And as you leave for your flight home, drop it back at the rental shop. There are several car rentals with some sweet deals, including Turisprime, which has the cheapest rates ($195 for 14 days).
The island is also a culinary trove with several restaurants serving some of the best cuisines, such as Papas arrugadas (wrinkled potatoes), goat meat, and Majorero cheese. The inland villages also offer diversity in cuisines such as arepas (a flatbread) synonymous with Morro Jable or head to Betancuria for goat kid meat.
What to do and see in Fuerteventura
As mentioned earlier, Fuerteventura is a land of diversity with so much to see. And for the desert experience, the sprawling dunes of Corralejo are the perfect day trip. The expansive area is also bordered by 10km of pristine beaches and is easily accessible to tourists. And if you fancy unspoiled beaches, head to the Jandia Peninsula's west coast. The desolate 15-km stretch of sand requires some effort and a 4x4 car is advisable. Alternatively, a 4x4 bus service from Morro Jable gets you there.
The rustic sleepy village of Betancuria is a fabulous day trip and one of the best places to get acquainted with the island's history. Founded in 1404, Betancuria is the oldest in the Canary Islands and has several attractions, such as the Church of Santa Maria (the first church to be built in the Canary Islands), the Museum of Archaeology, and a roofless 15th Century Monastery.
