Corralejo, Fuerteventura's Liveliest Base to Stay
Hotels in Corralejo put you in Fuerteventura's liveliest town: the island's widest choice of accommodation, from big beachfront resorts to town-centre apartments, steps from the urban beach and the natural park dunes — one of the four areas covered on our pillar page, Where to stay in Fuerteventura.
In a nutshell
- The island's widest choice of accommodation, from big all-inclusive resorts to independent apartments.
- A calm urban beach for families; Flag Beach and the dunes for kitesurfing/windsurfing.
- A lively town centre, with more restaurants and nightlife than elsewhere on the island.
- A good base for exploring the north (the dunes, El Cotillo).
Beachfront hotels: the big resorts
For hotels in Corralejo right on the beach, the big resorts all run on an all-inclusive model, led by the Hotel Riu Oliva Beach Resort and the Riu Palace Tres Islas, two safe bets directly on the urban beach.
These properties suit families after simplicity and being right by the sea, without needing to travel for most activities.
Apartments and studios in the town centre
Corralejo town centre also has a dense supply of apartments and studios, a practical option for independent trips, larger families or longer stays. Prices here are often more moderate than at the big resorts, with the bonus of a fitted kitchen — worth comparing against the rest of the island.
Which area should you choose?
The right area depends on your priorities. Staying near Flag Beach is the best choice for watersports fans, while families generally prefer staying close to the centre and the more sheltered urban beach.
