Holiday in Morro Jable

What makes Morro Jable special as a destination?

Morro Jable is the southernmost holiday resort of Fuerteventura and combines one of the most beautiful beaches in the Canary Islands with the charm of an authentic Canarian fishing village. While the hotel zone at the expansive Playa del Matorral caters to sun-hungry tourists, the old town center above the fishing harbor has preserved its original character. For German holidaymakers who want to combine beach and real island life, Morro Jable is the perfect choice. The Playa del Matorral is the jewel of the place - a four-kilometer stretch of the finest golden sand that transitions into crystal-clear turquoise water. The beach slopes gently, the water is calm and warm, ideal for families and relaxed beach days. At the eastern end, Playa del Matorral seamlessly merges into the endless Playa de Sotavento, and one can literally walk along the water for hours without encountering an end. The old fishing harbor of Morro Jable is the heart of the place. Here, fishermen still land their catch daily, which goes directly to the surrounding restaurants. The cobbled streets above the harbor are lined with whitewashed houses, small shops, and tapas bars, where one can enjoy the sunset over the Atlantic with a glass of Canarian wine in the evening. The lighthouse at Punta de Jandía, the southwesternmost point of the island, is a worthwhile excursion. Boats to Playa de Cofete, the legendary wild beach on the west coast, also depart from Morro Jable. The ferry to Gran Canaria operates regularly from the harbor. From Germany, Morro Jable can be reached in four and a half flight hours plus a short hour's drive from the airport. The longer journey rewards with noticeably more tranquility and authenticity than the more touristy places in the north.
