Many Fuerteventura villas can be found within proximity to the coast and visitors looking for a beach holiday will not be disappointed, as there are over 150 beaches to choose from. A Fuerteventura villa situated in the north of the island can be located close to beaches with soft, golden sands, such as those at the vibrant resort of Corralejo. Further south on the Jandia Peninsula, tourists can enjoy the sight of 30km of flat beaches that are backed by some of the island’s most impressive sand dunes.

A Fuerteventura villa further inland can be found within a reasonable distance of landscapes featuring mountains sculpted from historic volcanic eruptions or seemingly desert like and rocky terrain. Hiking and mountain biking are popular activities in these areas and guests staying in a Fuerteventura villa can gain access to a number of trails and planned routes. People travelling around these regions may also see large amounts of Aloe Vera crop, a plant which thrives in these particular conditions due to its need for little water and copious amounts of sunshine.
