Cheap Holidays to Fuerteventura: When to Go and Where to Stay

Island · Canary Islands · Spain

Cheap holidays to Fuerteventura come down to a few sensible choices rather than luck. The island has direct flights from the UK into Fuerteventura airport (FUE), which sits just five minutes from Puerto del Rosario, and its climate barely lets you down: daytime highs at Corralejo run from 21°C in February to 28°C in August, with very little rain in any month. That means you can travel outside the expensive school-holiday weeks without trading away the sunshine. Below I look at which months tend to be quieter, which resorts usually offer the widest choice, how to trim the cost of the trip, and how to get from the airport to your hotel.

Which months cost less

Fuerteventura has no real off-season for weather, which is good news if you are hunting for value. At Corralejo the warmest stretch is July to October, with highs of 27°C to 28°C, and these months overlap with the long British summer break, when demand and package prices are at their highest. The weeks outside UK school holidays are usually where cheap holidays in Fuerteventura are found.

November is a strong choice: highs around 26°C, two rain days on average and most families back at school. Late spring is similar, with April and May at 24°C. If you want cheap holidays to Fuerteventura in December, the first half of the month, before the Christmas getaway, usually works best; expect around 22°C by day and 17°C at night. February is the wettest month, though that still means only around 15mm of rain.

Resorts that tend to cost less

Corralejo and Caleta de Fuste are the two resorts British travellers search for most, and the bigger, busier resorts generally have more accommodation competing for your booking, which helps when looking for cheap deals to Fuerteventura. Corralejo, in the north, is the larger town and sits beside Corralejo Natural Park, with Lobos Island just offshore and a ferry port in town.

In the south, Costa Calma and Jandía are smaller and further from the airport, so transfers take longer. They do put you close to Jandía Natural Park, Playa del Matorral and the wild beach at Cofete. If the shortest transfer matters most, staying near Puerto del Rosario, five minutes from the terminal, keeps the journey to a minimum.

Simple ways to save

Flexibility is the biggest saving. Midweek flights are often cheaper than weekend departures, and checking regional UK airports as well as the London ones can turn up better fares. For low cost holidays Fuerteventura offers plenty of self-catering options, which let you shop and eat on your own terms rather than paying for a board basis you may not use.

It also pays to compare several operators side by side. On this page you can check package deals to Fuerteventura from Jet2holidays, TUI, loveholidays and On the Beach, alongside hotel prices, car hire, and tours and tickets. Booking well ahead tends to give the widest choice for school-holiday dates, while those with flexible dates can sometimes find cheap breaks to Fuerteventura closer to departure.

Keep day trips inexpensive with car hire: the old village of Betancuria and its rural park, the Torre del Tostón and Tostón Lighthouse at El Cotillo, and the archaeological site of Poblado de La Atalayita are all reachable by road.

Getting there from the UK

Fuerteventura airport (FUE) has direct flights from the UK, and it sits right by the island capital: Puerto del Rosario is about five minutes away by road, La Oliva around 16 minutes, Betancuría 17 minutes and Tuineje 20 minutes.

Most British travellers book a package, which bundles the flight, hotel and airport transfer into one booking, so a coach or shuttle meets you at arrivals and takes you to your resort. That is often the simplest way to book a cheap holiday to Fuerteventura, Spain, and our cheap package holidays to Fuerteventura comparison shows several providers at once. If you plan to explore, car hire collected at the airport is easy to compare here too. Corralejo also has a ferry port for trips off the island.
