Best Hotels In Fuerteventura

There are lots of reasons to holiday in Fuerteventura. Its low mountains mean rain is unlikely, and it has the biggest beaches in the Canary Islands along its 210-mile coastline.

That’s a long stretch of beach to find the best hotels in Fuerteventura. I’ve visited the island’s most stunning spots to find the top accommodation picks. Whether you want to unwind, explore, or maybe chase a little of both, these hotels and resorts should help you find your perfect base.

We last travelled here child free for a change, but have also visited with the kids and it’s a great destination for both types of trip – so you’ll find adult only hotels and child friendly hotels below, kicking off with one for the adults…

1: Secrets Bahía Real Resort & Spa – Adults Only

The Secrets Bahía Real Resort & Spa in Corralejo is gorgeous and clearly geared towards adults only – it felt calm and peaceful, and the hotel was immaculate.

The architecture of the hotel itself is rather beautiful, and it’s literally steps from the beach. All you’ve got from between the hotel rooms and the sand is a border of tropical gardens, which then continue round to wrap around the pools to create a private little world. They make the grounds look wonderful.

My room, which was a suite, was incredible, and looked out over Lobos and Lanzarote islands. I spent a lot of time on the balcony, especially with the sun rising or setting.

The pools are big and surrounded by palm trees and loungers, with plenty for everyone. I barely wanted to leave the grounds. Though if I did, I had the convenience of the beach and also a great town close by.

The spa here is very good – modern and quiet, and with a great range of treatments. If you’re after a luxurious escape, this spot is hard to beat.

2: Iberostar Selection Fuerteventura Palace

The Iberostar Selection Fuerteventura Palace is a superb resort and hotel, right on Jandía Beach with sweeping sea views. It’s so easy to wander onto the sand for a morning walk or just lounge all day.

The hotel focuses on comfort and calm. My room had everything I needed, and more – it was on the highest floor, with stunning views of the sea and beach.

I loved the heated pool and the adults-only area with its own pool, lounge, and bar. That being said, it’s also suitable for families.

Dining was fantastic here. There’s a buffet serving local food and a Japanese restaurant with ocean views. All in all there was lots of options and plenty of each, and even some creativity in what was on offer – plus it all tasted amazing.

If you book a Star Prestige room, you get extras like a private sun terrace, special check-in, and access to the spa water circuit. All staff were wonderful, and the entire hotel was spotless.

3: Sheraton Fuerteventura Golf & Spa Resort

The Sheraton Fuerteventura Beach, Golf & Spa Resort is sensational. Yes, it’s right on the beach, offering beautiful views from many rooms. But the entire hotel itself has been so brilliantly designed, with lots of landscaping involved – even inside the hotel!

The pool area is awesome. It’s heated so even if you’re here off peak, you’ll enjoy a swim amongst all the shrubs and trees – it really is a great space to spend time in.

My room was spacious and well equipped, and overlooked the sea. I love a sea view, but the pool is kept so clean and pretty that even rooms overlooking poolside have a decent view.

The restaurants on-site gave me plenty of choice, from Spanish dishes to international favourites. The staff were super helpful and efficient.

The golf course seemed to be a huge hit. I’m not into golf myself, but what a bonus if you are to have one on the resort. I did notice a lot of partners left on their own on poolside, though I can’t say they looked disappointed about it!

The spa offers some good treatments. I didn’t have a chance to book in myself, but I had a nose and it looked very much like a perfect place to have a pamper.

4: Barceló Fuerteventura Royal Level – Adults Only

Barceló Fuerteventura Royal Level – Adults Only is of course unsuitable and indeed unavailable for families (but there is a family-friendly version next to it, which I mention in position 6 in this guide).

Adults only is a major selling point for many of us, and this hotel relishes in providing a tranquil and recharging environment for us grown-ups. The hotel sits right on Caleta de Fuste beach, and many of their gorgeously decorated spaces overlook it.

The rooms are stylish and spacious, decorated with simple local touches. Some suites have their own patios, though I’d personally always opt for a balcony with a sea view.

There’s a private restaurant and pool just for Royal Level guests, which made things feel a little more exclusive. The heated saltwater pool is lined with palm trees and loungers, and little areas to retreat to.

I spent some time at the wellness centre for a bit of pampering, and the gym was very well-equipped for a quick workout. Staff were always friendly and ready to help.

All-inclusive meals were very well stocked and tasted good. The breakfast is excellent. Water sports, tennis, and a golf club are all close by, too.

5: XQ El Palacete

XQ El Palacete is standout. I absolutely adore this hotel – it’s in the most perfect location, sitting right above the ocean in Morro Jable, and every room and suite has a sea view.

Waking up to the sound and sight of the Atlantic honestly never got old. The atmosphere is calm, and the staff pay attention to the small details, which we all know is what makes all the difference to a holiday.

The food and drinks here are excellent. Really high quality, and much better than many hotels I’ve been to. (Remember, men aren’t allowed to wear shorts or trackies to dinner, so pack those linen trousers.) Evenings had live music and a relaxed atmosphere – I enjoyed every single night of my stay.

The rooms are spacious and bright with such breathtaking views. The outdoor pool looks out over the water, and the sun terrace is perfect for lazy afternoons. There’s also a jacuzzi and massage area.

6: Barceló Fuerteventura Royal Level

Barceló Fuerteventura Royal Level is attached to the adult-only hotel I mentioned earlier. Again, it sits right on the golden sands of Caleta de Fuste, so you’re at the sea in no time.

The suites here are spacious and bright, with gorgeous Atlantic views. Don’t think that because this one welcomes families, it’s of lower quality – everything felt calm and organised, and the suite had all the comforts I wanted.

Some suites come with terraces or even a hot tub, which I think is a great option for couples who still want some luxury along with their family holiday.

Eating at the hotel was easy, with buffet and à la carte restaurants plus a few bars. The food was fresh and varied, and as a family we loved relaxed meals by the pool. The kids’ entertainment and family pool were great.

The exclusive Royal Level pool has saltwater and plenty of loungers. There’s a spa and gym for guests over 16, and you’ll find things like mini-golf and live shows for all in the evening.

Staff were helpful, and I liked being just a short drive from the airport and the island’s capital.

7: Hotel Riu Palace Jandia

Hotel Riu Palace Jandia is a crisp, luxury hotel that sits right on the beach, so you can step out and be by the sea in seconds. The beach is wide and clean, perfect for lounging or swimming. It’s a very quiet beach too, which is a bonus day and night.

However, you also have the wonderful grounds of the hotel itself to enjoy. Everything here is glossy and clean, and airy and roomy.

Rooms are modern and comfortable, immaculate and spacious, and it had a glorious view of the sea. Even the balconies had plenty of room to watch the waves with a cup of tea or a glass of wine.

The dining experience is great, with some fine dining options that were very good indeed. Evening meals were just as good as the brilliant breakfasts they put on, and all with fresh and well replenished options.

8: Barceló Corralejo Bay – Adults Only

Barceló Corralejo Bay is all about the extras and detail – it’s a very good option for adults who just want to unwind and relax. First off, you’re in a good location – just five minutes’ walk from either the beach or the town. But when I stayed, I didn’t want to leave the hotel grounds.

There are plenty of poolside amenities which means no fighting over sun loungers, and actually I quite preferred the day beds with their own tub – what a treat. Every area of the hotel looks clean and designed in a stylish, light décor with warm tones – it really is a delightful environment to be in.

The wellness centre here is impressive, with a range of treatments, massages, and a hydrotherapy circuit available. The outdoor pool is heated, too.

Our room was bright and came with a private terrace – it makes a difference when you actually want to spend some time in your hotel room. The bed felt super comfortable, and I had no trouble getting Wi-Fi anywhere in the hotel. Some rooms show off side views of the ocean or pool, and a few have extras like a hot tub or a Balinese bed.

The fitness studio stays open long hours, which made it easy to squeeze in a workout. Food was good here. By midweek I did fancy trying something else, so we walked into the town to try out a local restaurant before nipping back to the luxury of our hotel.

You get everything here. Pampering (oh, the spa is absolutely gorgeous), It’s peaceful, and you’re still close to Corralejo’s main buzz.

9: AVANTI Lifestyle Hotel – Only Adults

The AVANTI Lifestyle Hotel in Corralejo is a real hidden retreat for adults. It’s gone for simplicity and elegance laced with luxury, from the Egyptian cotton sheets to the fresh flowers in my room.

Each room feels thoughtfully put together, and with fewer rooms overall, there’s a real sense of privacy here. That alone is quite an achievement, as you are minutes away from plenty of shops and restaurants to explore. Somehow, when you walk back into the hotel it’s as though you’re nestling back into your own little retreat, which is wonderful.

The rooftop terrace became my favourite spot, where there’s a hot tub and those sweeping sea views. The natural light and white interiors make everything feel airy, and it’s easier to judge a hotel’s cleanliness with this décor: AVANTI scored top marks – it was immaculate.

The food was incredible here. Breakfast stood out for me – lots on offer from omelettes to full English and croissants, all while gazing out at the ocean.

The staff were exceptional here and made us feel so welcome.

10: Barceló Fuerteventura Castillo

Barceló Fuerteventura Castillo sits right on the beachfront in Caleta de Fuste, which as we’ve seen is a great spot to stay.

The bungalows you reserve here are bright and spacious. Some are set up for families, while others come with whirlpool baths and terraces. Mine had a whirlpool bath and overlooked the gardens and the sea – it was perfect.

Dining here is easy, with buffet and à la carte restaurants serving both local and international dishes. I grabbed light lunches at the pool bar and tried the Italian menu in the main restaurant.

The all-inclusive option is good value, and upgrading to the Plus package means more branded drinks (which is always my preferred option). There are three outdoor pools, a large wellness centre, and plenty of activities for families or anyone who likes to stay active.

The entertainment team keeps kids busy, while the gym and spa offer some space to unwind.

I thought this was a wonderful stay with attentive staff in a well maintained hotel, at a very good price.

Summary

So much can shape your hotel choice in Fuerteventura – from how easy it is to get around, to what you want to do, and who’s coming with you. Every factor can shift your trip from just okay to genuinely memorable. There’s something for all of us here, though I think being in a good location where you can both explore and relax is the winning combination.

Fuerteventura means ‘windy island’, which believe me, is a welcome breeze when the season is hot. That being said, I travelled in November and the weather was still around 24 degrees with a breeze in the evenings. This little island is a wonderful getaway, and just a short flight away from the U.K.

For the hotels I’ve listed above, I recommend booking early, as they can become fully booked.
