Fuerteventura Corralejo Holidays: Packages, Beaches and Weather

Corralejo works for travellers who want a proper town as their base with the beach on the doorstep. Playa de la Goleta is in the town itself, while Corralejo Viejo, Las Clavellinas, Playa Vista Lobos and Las Lajas de Punta Prieta are all within about half a mile. That makes it easy for families with small children, because the walk to the sand is short and nobody needs a car for a beach day.

Couples and walkers tend to look further out. Corralejo Natural Park and Lobos Island, both protected areas about 3 miles from town, give the resort an outdoor side that many beach towns lack. If you want quieter stretches of sand, beaches such as Playa del Moro and Playa de los Matos sit a few miles from the centre.

Corralejo is a single resort rather than a string of separate towns, so the choice is really about which stretch of coast you want near your hotel. Closest in are Playa de la Goleta, Corralejo Viejo, Las Clavellinas, Playa Vista Lobos and Las Lajas de Punta Prieta, all within roughly half a mile. A little further out you will find El Charco de Bristol at about a mile, Playa del Pozo and El Bajo Negro at about 2 miles, and Playa de la Concha at around 2.5 miles.

Beyond those, Playa de los Matos lies about 3 miles away, and Playa del Moro and the aptly named Beautiful Sandy Beach about 4 miles. Out to sea, Lobos Island and the Islote de Lobos Natural Park are the big draws, with the Punta Martiño Lighthouse on the island around 4 miles from town.

Corralejo has no real off-season for weather. Highs run from 21°C in February to 28°C in August, and night-time lows stay between 16°C and 22°C. Rainfall is slight all year: July and January average a single rain day, and February, the wettest month by count, averages six. Winter sun from November to March brings highs of 21°C to 26°C, while July to October sits at 27°C to 28°C for anyone who wants real heat.

The bigger factor in what you pay is the UK school calendar rather than the climate. Package prices generally rise during school holidays and half-terms, so if you are free to travel outside those weeks, it is worth comparing dates either side.

Fuerteventura airport (FUE) is the island's gateway and has direct flights from the United Kingdom. It is the nearest airport to Corralejo, with a drive of about 27 minutes, so the transfer at the start of a package holiday is short by island standards.

Corralejo also has its own ferry port about half a mile from the centre, with further ports at Playa Blanca, around 9 miles away, and Arrecife, about 25 miles away. If you want to explore under your own steam once you arrive, you can compare car hire on this page.
