Hi folks,
Any advice where to stay in Fuerteventura?
Thanks.
Hi Arno,
I'm rarely connecting and, once I did, I found the question I love...as I love Fuerte!!!!
So, IMO, it all depends what kind of holiday you're looking for....here is my thoughts, based on my experiences.
SOUTH: Between Costa Calma and Morro de Jable...all beautiful beaches, my favourite is Butihondo, although it's narrower than in Jandia, but I like the rocks behind. There are quite many big resorts here around (so, if you're for easy life in resort...here is perfect for you). Nudism here, as everywhere in Fuerte isn't an issue...you can practice it wherever and many people just do it! On South, I found especially German tourists.
NORTH: Corralejo...that's a lively town, with shops, restaurants and a bit of whatever, just out of Corralejo starts the wonderful Dune natural park, Kms of pristine sandy beach, often windy, often with very few people around...I loved running naked on there, jump in the water and enjoy that freedom. Personally, it's the place I like the most. In Corralejo you find both resorts and other accomodations like apartments or hotels. Here the nationalities are pretty mixed, maybe British are the most...but well mixed
CENTER: Calete de Fusta...that's a good base if you plan to rent a car or a 4wd and explore the island, there's not so much more than hotels around and the beach are rather rocky here. Personally, I don't like it that much, I'd consider it only as a cheap base for discovering the rest of the island!
NORTH-WEST: El Cotillo...that's a calm fisherman town, that's maybe the only lived location on the west cost, here the ocean screams already pretty well, but the beach is simply wonderful, a percet postcard location, especially at sunset where the sun makes long shiny tears on the wet beach...
Making story short, if you wish to have nice beach and easy (a bit lazy) life, go south and you'll be feeling like a king...if you're more for discovery, as I'd be, take a location at center or closer to Corralejo (from here the ferry to Lanzarote and Lobos leaves) and then, make your day everyday, discover your private corner of Fuerte! That's what I love to do, just rent a car or a 4wd and look everyday for my corner of paradise!!!
Write me if you need any info, I'll be happy...I love that island!
