Conveniently located a short distance from the capital Puerto del Rosario, and the resort of Caleta de Fuste, Fuerteventura's El Matorral Airport (FUE) is beautifully situated right by the ocean.

About Fuerteventura Tourism

Boasting the best beaches and longest history of any of the Canary Islands, Fuerteventura is very popular with tourists wanting to bypass the tourist 'traps' of Gran Canaria, Lanzarote and Tenerife. The island is virtually devoid of modern man-made attractions, apart from La Lajita Zoo (Oasis Park) and the Baku Water Park, relying instead on its spectacular natural scenery and interesting historical heritage to entice visitors. Fuerteventura holidays have been made all the more popular with the introduction of package deals many years ago and more recently, budget flights, with the peak season tending to fall between July and August - the traditional summer holiday months. Outside of this busy time, big savings are possible, particularly during the quieter winter months and early spring.

Highlights close to Fuerteventura Airport (FUE) include the charming capital of Puerto del Rosario, the modern resorts of Caleta de Fuste and Corralejo, the quaint fishing village and zoo of La Lajita and activities such as windsurfing and whale watching. In total, Fuerteventura is home to more than 150 different sandy beaches, with the best being around the Jandia area and including the Costa Calma and Morro Jable.
