La Concha
Die Strände des Fischerdorfs El Cotillo liegen im Nordwesten der Insel Fuerteventura. Sie erstrecken sich nach Norden wie eine Reihe von weißen Sandbuchten und ruhigem türkisen Wasser. Seine Nähe zum Dorf bietet die Möglichkeit, einen majestätischen Sonnenuntergang auf einer Terrasse zu genießen, wo die Besucher den Himmel beobachten können, der sich in nur wenigen Minuten von Ocker zu Violett verfärbt.
Großartige Strände in Corralejo
Ganz in der Nähe des touristischen Zentrums von Corralejo, im Nordosten der Insel Fuerteventura, liegen die großartigen Strände von Corralejo: 9 km paradiesische Strände, die von den Dünen von Corralejo, den größten ihrer Art auf den Kanarischen Inseln, begrenzt werden. Hier umschmeichelt türkisfarbenes Wasser eine Küste mit Jable-Sand, einer weißen Sandart, die auf natürliche Weise durch Erosion von Muscheln entsteht.
Costa Calma
Ganz in der Nähe des Dorfes La Lajita, im Süden Fuerteventuras, liegt der Strand Costa Calma, ein 2 km langer Touristenstrand mit weißem Sand und erfrischendem türkisen Wasser. Seine traumhafte Küstenlinie lädt zu einem Spaziergang entlang einer ruhigen Promenade mit atemberaubenden Ausblicken auf die Küste voller ockerfarbener Berge ein, die von der Erosion aufgeweicht wurden.
Located in a quieter area, Playa del Medio offers a more private atmosphere, and a more natural beach experience. With fine sand and calm waters, it is perfect for couples and families looking for a quiet corner. It doesn’t have many services, but its natural beauty and serenity make it worth a visit for those looking for a more intimate connection with nature.
Playas de Butihondo y Matorral
Un corto trayecto en coche desde el hotel te lleva a estas dos magníficas playas. La Playa de Butihondo, con su suave arena y aguas azules, es ideal para deportes acuáticos y paseos relajantes. La Playa del Matorral, en Morro Jable, es famosa por su extensión y sus áreas bien equipadas con servicios, como duchas, hamacas y chiringuitos.
Sotavento
Er besteht aus fünf Stränden (La Barca, Risco del Paso, Mirador, Malnombre und Los Canarios), die bei Ebbe frei begehbar sind. Die Küste von Sotavento ist ein endlos langer, weißer Sandstrand mit klarem, türkisfarbenem Wasser. An einem dieser Strände gibt es eine wunderschöne flache Lagune, die von einer Sandbank umgeben ist - ideal für alle, die das Windsurfen zum ersten Mal ausprobieren möchten.
