Fuerteventura

28.3999 -14.1647 1 true

The longest and second largest of the Canary Islands, Fuerteventura is an island full of charm. As the closest island to Africa - just 100 kilometres from the coast - Fuerteventura benefits from a warm climate and over 3,000 hours of sunshine a year.

Great beaches may be one of Fuerteventura's major assets, but its watersports (especially windsurfing), unspoilt villages and national park that make it more than your average escape to the sun.

Flight times to Fuerteventura from the UK are around 4 hours.
