Outdoor activities
Fuerteventura's wild outdoors
Adventure seekers will find plenty to like about Fuerteventura holiday lettings. Some sit along a wave-splattered coastline, where surfing spots are 10 a penny. It all starts in the island capital of Puerto del Rosalio, where some local instructors offer lessons to those looking to hit the rollers. There are more advanced places to conquer as you progress, up in El Cotillo, and in the more blustery town of Escaleritas, on the west coast. Staying on dry land is an option, too. You can don the hiking boots to scale the sinewy peaks of the Jandia National Park or either of the 2 miradors on the road between Betancuria and Antigua, for sweeping views of the countryside and the vast Atlantic Ocean.

Fly into Puerto del Rosario (FUE-Fuerteventura), the closest airport, located 11.8 mi (19.1 km) from the city centre. If you're unable to find a flight that fits your schedule, you might consider flying into Arrecife (ACE-Lanzarote), which is 46.8 mi (75.2 km) away.
How to get around
Travelling around your Fuerteventura holiday rental
There are just a couple of local bus lines running around the island of Fuerteventura. They conveniently link the main arrival point and capital, Puerto del Rosalio, with the most popular resort towns along the east coast. However, most travellers choose to rent a car. Doing that opens up the further-flung reaches of this Canary Island and means being able to choose villa rentals in Fuerteventura that are a little more off-the-beaten-track and secluded. It should be easy to find options that have a parking space on site.
