6 Best Hotels in Fuerteventura, Canary Islands

Fresh, ultramodern, Insta-ready design defines the aesthetic at Avanti, a 15-room adults-only hotel with gleaming blue-and-white rooms and an elegant rooftop bar. The property was built in 1969, making it one of the area's first hotels, but it was recently refurbished and is well maintained. Its restaurant, Rompeolas, is a favorite among guests and nonguests alike (the whole lobster is worth the splurge) and, with its sky-blue beamed ceiling and arched windows, an idyllic spot to have a leisurely meal.

Tuscany meets the Canary Islands at this neoclassical hotel with soaring towers and ocher-colored columns. The Mediterranean atmosphere is accentuated by the primarily Italian clientele, although other aspects of this resort, such as its lush gardens, three huge pools (plus two for children), and ocean vistas are pure Canarian. The hotel beach is small, but it is sheltered from the wind—a rarity on Fuerteventura. Rooms are spacious (most have sea views) and have functional white furniture with blue accents. Dining is buffet-style.

You can step right onto Grandes Playas, one of the best beaches on the island, from this hotel, which resembles a cruise ship with its six stories and curved white facade. Inside, things are decidedly dowdier—the rooms are spacious, but the beige-and-red accents and heavy curtains are odd choices. Rooms face either the ocean or white dunes.

Situated in the tiny town of Tefía (population: 200) 20 minutes down the road from Puerto del Rosario, this family-run hotel that opened in December 2022 has cozy, inviting rooms with stone walls, beamed ceilings, and white linens. The down-home restaurant is popular among guests and nonguests alike for its fair prices and genial service.

A far cry from the big-box resorts that abound on Fuerteventura, this suites-only sanctuary has spectacular ocean views—it's 2 km (1 mile) to the west of Costa Calma resort and perched about 650 feet above the magnificent Playa de Sotavento. The stark-white hotel, built in 1987, is a swooping and highly distinctive collection of cuboid and oval spaces. Every suite has its own patio beside the tropical gardens and pools, which are set on different levels. The Horst Walczok restaurant serves a set menu.

This oceanfront resort renovated in 2021 is a romantic retreat that has arches, tiles, and fountains reminiscent of Spain's Moorish past—all situated on one of Fuerteventura's most scenic beaches. Secrets Bahía is all about grandeur, from the lofty marble columns and dome in the reception area to the lush tropical gardens. The rooms, appointed with king-size beds, have spacious balconies that are perfect for contemplating the garden or the ocean (the latter cost extra). The jewel here is the spa, included in the room rate.
