Corralejo Holidays
Overview
Corralejo holidays are incredibly popular with tourists, yet this pretty town has maintained its rustic charm. The former fishing village has preserved some of its traditional cottages, low-rise buildings, winding streets and beautiful sand dunes. Go windsurfing and kite-boarding at the Grandes Playas nature park or simply soak in the sun under a parasol on the broad golden beaches. Located 41km from Fuerteventura airport, you'll enjoy the beautiful coastline full of sand dunes and the volcanic landscape around Montaña Roja. Visit the busy resort of Caleta de Fuste, a watersports paradise 45km away, filled with swanky resorts and hotels.
In the evenings, Corralejo's main street Avenida del Generalisimo Franco buzzes with life. It's worth exploring the lesser-known islets such as Los Lobos, where you can take a 15-minute boat trip and enjoy first-class snorkelling at the deserted island. If you like nature, Parque Natural de las Dunas de Corralejo, is a natural reserve for birds, lizards and desert rabbits.
Book an unforgettable Corralejo holiday today and experience this fantastic resort for yourself.
