Fuerteventura

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!
