Last Minute Fuerteventura Holidays: How Late Deals Work

A late deal is usually a package holiday (flight, hotel and transfer together) that the tour operator hasn't sold as departure day gets close. When a departure is only a few weeks away, operators would rather fill the remaining seats and rooms than leave them empty. That is where Fuerteventura late deals come from.

The more flexible you are, the more you will find. Be open about your UK departure airport. Be willing to switch between Corralejo, Caleta de Fuste, Costa Calma and Jandía, and to shift your dates by a day or two. Everyone on the island arrives through the same airport, so changing resort doesn't change where you land. It only changes the transfer at the other end.

Fuerteventura works as a holiday all year. The Corralejo records show highs of 22°C in January, 24°C by April and May, and 27 to 28°C from July to October. Because the island has no real off season, demand stays fairly steady. The best late availability tends to fall outside the school holidays, when families aren't competing for the same rooms and flights.

Term-time weeks are the ones to watch. Late spring and early summer are good examples, with highs of 24 to 25°C and only a few rain days a month. So are the weeks of November, with a high of 26°C. February is the wettest month on the record, with 15mm over around six days, and highs of 21°C. School-holiday departures can still turn up late, but packages at those times generally cost more and sell out sooner.

This page shows live deal buttons from Jet2holidays, TUI, loveholidays and On the Beach. You can compare their late Fuerteventura packages side by side, then filter by departure airport, resort and board basis. You can also check hotel prices separately if you would rather book a flight-only fare and room yourself.

Think about the kind of stay you want before you choose a resort. Corralejo is the most searched and sits near Corralejo Natural Park, with boat views across to Lobos Island. Costa Calma and Jandía put you closer to Jandía Natural Park, Playa del Matorral and the remote beach at Cofete. Tours and tickets, such as trips to Lobos Island or inland to Betancuria, can also be compared here once your dates are fixed.

Fuerteventura airport (FUE) has direct flights from the United Kingdom, and it sits close to the island's main town. Drive times from the terminal are short: about 5 minutes to Puerto del Rosario, 16 minutes to La Oliva, 17 minutes to Betancuría and 20 minutes to Tuineje.

A package normally includes the transfer from the airport to your hotel. If you would rather explore at your own pace, compare car hire on this page. A car makes it easy to reach the old village of Betancuria, the Torre del Tostón and Tostón Lighthouse near El Cotillo, or the wild southern coast around Cofete.
