Holiday in Corralejo

What makes Corralejo special as a destination?

Corralejo is the lively surf and beach paradise at the northern tip of Fuerteventura and the perfect place for those seeking endless sandy beaches, turquoise waters, and a relaxed surfer atmosphere. The former fishing village has developed into the island's most popular holiday resort without losing its laid-back Canarian charm. For German holidaymakers, Corralejo is a dream destination that combines Sahara vibes with European comfort. The absolute highlight is the Grandes Playas de Corralejo - an eleven-kilometer stretch of the finest white sand and crystal-clear turquoise water that extends south of the town and belongs to the Corralejo Dunes Natural Park. The wandering Sahara dunes that border the sea create a surreal landscape reminiscent of a desert by the ocean. The natural park protects this unique ecosystem and prevents any construction - here there is only sand, sea, and wind. Corralejo itself is a charming small town with a lively pedestrian zone, colorful houses, surf shops, and a restaurant scene that offers everything from fresh fish to international cuisine. The old harbor is the heart of the town, from where ferries depart to the neighboring island of Lanzarote and the nearby Isla de Lobos, an uninhabited islet with a crystal-clear lagoon, which can be reached by boat in just 15 minutes. Fuerteventura is the windsurfing and kitesurfing island of the Canaries, and Corralejo is right in the action area. Flag Beach directly in the dunes is one of the best kitesurfing spots in Europe, while the northern coast provides consistent waves for surfers. From Germany, it takes about four and a half hours to fly to Fuerteventura, and the airport is 40 minutes from Corralejo. Prices are moderate, the infrastructure is excellent, and the climate makes Corralejo a year-round destination.
