FAQs
Fuerteventura is a year-round destination, which is ideal if you’re trying to escape the UK weather! For warm days without the peak summer heat, spring or autumn are fab – still plenty of sunshine but fewer crowds and often cheaper flights too.
Flights from the UK take around 4 to 4.5 hours. Just long enough to get through a few snacks, a bit of screen time and maybe even a nap.
Expect sunshine most of the year! Even in winter, daytime temperatures sit around 20°C, while summer can reach the high 20s. It’s not overly humid either, so it feels really comfortable – perfect for beach days and little adventures with the kids.
Hiring a car is the easiest way to explore, especially if you want to visit different beaches, volcanoes or small towns at your own pace. That said, there are local buses if you’re staying put in one area, just plan ahead as they don’t run super frequently.
Yes – it’s known for being breezy, especially in the summer months, which is actually great for keeping cool in the heat. The wind also makes it fab for water sports like surfing and kiteboarding if your bigger kids fancy a go!

How many people get to say they’ve slept on a frozen lake under the northern lights?! 😮✨
These little cabins are very basic, maybe not ideal for anyone who wants luxury - but - they are on skis 😮 and each evening the owner drags you onto a frozen lake with his snow mobile. No light pollution, no noise, just pure peace (aside from the sound of occasional cracking ice, which is apparently normal 😅😆)
These cabins are with @lakeinarimobilecabins - it was a few years ago that we went. I think they get booked up quite far in advance now - but message the fella, it’s naturally cheaper to book direct 🤍

This is one of the best Eurocamps we’ve been to, particularly for families who love a waterpark! There are so many slides, splash areas and pools to spend the day exploring. On top of that you’re right by a beach, close to the gorgeous city of Venice and there’s even a fun fair!
If you want more information on this camp comment GUIDE and ill send you our Union lido review and guide 💛
This was a PR trip from 2025 but this post and guide were made independently as it’s one of our favourite camps ✨
