La Concha
Les plages du village de pêcheurs d'El Cotillo se trouvent au nord-ouest de l'île de Fuerteventura. Elles s'étendent vers le nord comme une série de criques de sable blanc et d'eaux turquoise calmes. Sa proximité avec le village offre l'opportunité d'admirer un majestueux coucher de soleil depuis une terrasse où les visiteurs peuvent observer le ciel passer de l'ocre au violet en quelques minutes seulement.
Grandes plages de Corralejo
Tout près du centre touristique de Corralejo, au nord-est de l'île de Fuerteventura, se trouvent les Grandes Plages de Corralejo : neuf kilomètres de plages paradisiaques bordées par les dunes de Corralejo, les plus grandes des îles Canaries. C'est là que les eaux turquoise caressent un littoral recouvert de sable jable, un type de sable blanc formé naturellement par l'érosion des coquillages.
Costa Calma
Tout près du village de La Lajita, au sud de Fuerteventura, se trouve la plage de Costa Calma, une plage touristique de 2 km au sable blanc et à l'eau turquoise rafraîchissante. Son rivage enchanteur invite les visiteurs à se balader le long d'une promenade tranquille offrant une vue imprenable sur la côte parsemée de montagnes ocre, adoucies par l'érosion.
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
Elle se compose de cinq plages (La Barca, Risco del Paso, Mirador, Malnombre et Los Canarios) que l'on peut traverser librement à marée basse. La côte de Sotavento est une immense étendue de sable blanc infinie, baignée par des eaux claires et turquoises. L'une de ces plages présente une magnifique lagune peu profonde formée par un banc de sable, idéale pour ceux qui s'essaient pour la première fois à la planche à voile.
