Rating (9/10)

star star star star star star star star star star
From January to December

Fuerteventura is an ideal family destination. The bustling island has many of the top attractions catering to young people. Children can enjoy any number of water sports and activities along Fuerteventura's beaches. Families can spend a day hiking a volcano or enjoying a heritage windmill or museum in one of the villages. A highlight of the trip could be the pirate ship Pedro Sartana in Morro Jable. Children can pretend to be pirates aboard the ship and swim and snorkel after lunch.

Families will also love the Oasis de Los Camellos’ zoo. The zoo is home to a small selection of animals in a delightful setting with narrow, shady tracks and brightly coloured plants. The most popular attraction is the herd of baby camels (there are some 220 in total), the parrots, crocodiles, giraffes, meerkats and the new sea lion show. Parque Natural de Corralejo will also be a hit; the park is a protected nature reserve and offers a variety of plant types. Visitors can enjoy the sun and surf or mountain bike or hike the area. The park is also the site for Fuerteventura's annual kite festival. Nearby you will find Baku Water Park, complete with slides and a wave pool. There is also an aquarium. There is also a wide range of family friendly accommodation options available for reasonable prices in Fuerteventura, which makes this island is a fantastic option for a family holiday.
