Riu Palace Tres Islas
Riu Palace Tres Islas is another top pick for travellers who love staying close to the beach. This luxury all-inclusive hotel is situated close to the famous sand dunes of Corralejo and boasts a superb Renova Spa with swimming pools, Jacuzzis, saunas and treatment menu. If you love keeping active on holiday, swim some laps in the two fresh water swimming pools which are heated in winter, hit the modern and well-equipped gym or take part in the fitness classes which are organised daily.

ClubHotel Riu Oliva Beach Resort
Another Riu favourite, ClubHotel Riu Oliva Beach Resort is a beautiful all-inclusive hotel located directly on the golden sandy beach in Corralejo. The hotel isn't found in a bustling resort, in fact apart from the beach there is nothing at all around it, making this complex perfect for those who want a quiet, relaxing holiday in Fuerteventura. The hotel sports two large swimming pools for adults and two for children both of which are heated in winter, a Jacuzzi, a solarium terrace with free sun loungers and parasols, a well-equipped gym, organised fitness classes, tennis courts and massage service.
To make sure the little ones are never bored, there is also a kids' club and playground. When it comes to dining, there are three main restaurants El Canario which specialises in Canarian cuisine, Mandarin which serves up Asian delicacies and the main restaurant which offers an international buffet. Unfortunately, it's only the buffet restaurant which is covered by the all-inclusive programme. If you get a bit fed up of resort life and want something more natural, the beach which offers sun loungers, parasols and showers for visitors is literally just steps away. Accommodation takes the form of double rooms, suites and family rooms which are spread out between two large buildings. The only thing that really sets the rooms apart is the size of them they mostly offer the same amenities, including private bathroom with shower and hairdryer, air conditioning, satellite TV and balcony or terrace with sea views.
Fuerteventura Beach for February
Las Clavellinas Beach
Las Clavellinas Beach is one of the best family-friendly beaches in Corralejo, thanks to the shallow, clean waters which are always perfectly still making them ideal for small children to swim in. Despite its small size the golden sand only stretches on for 100m this beach rarely gets crowded in the winter months, so you should never struggle to secure your favourite spot to lie down your towel.
Although there are no food or drink kiosks directly on the beach, Las Clavellinas is backed by a bustling promenade where you'll find loads of bars, restaurants, cafes and supermarkets. There are, however, basic services and facilities on the beach, including sun loungers and parasols which you can hire for the day.
Muelle Chico
Muelle Chico is another top pick if you're looking for small, family-friendly beaches in Corralejo. This golden sandy bay is larger than Las Clavellinas Beach stretching on for about 200m and faces the tiny islet of Los Lobos. Even though it's relatively small, this urban beach is surrounded by activity, with loads of bars, restaurants and shops found just steps away in the centre of the resort.
Thanks to the harbour which protects the beach on one side, rough waves can never reach the shore, so the sea is always calm enough for swimming in even when it's windy. Onsite services and facilities include sun loungers, parasols and life guard patrol.
Bars and Restaurants
Dr Drink
Dr Drink is the place to go if you're looking for a lively party atmosphere in Fuerteventura. This bar stands out from the crowd for its theme parties including Hawaiian and moustache parties and buzzing atmosphere which is usually created by their lengthy cocktail list and affordable drinks prices.
