Set on the Jandia Peninsula, south of Fuerteventura, the four-star Meliá Fuerteventura is a high-end beachfront establishment, perfectly situated just 12km from the wildlife centre at Oasis Park Fuerteventura and close to Sotavento de Jandia beach. The hotel boasts a relaxed ambience and rooms that look onto the cobalt blue of the sea, or the lush green of the garden. Escape for a sunny, action packed, yet restoring vacation with friends or family and leave feeling like new.
The wild surroundings of the sand dunes of Sotavento Beach, the saltwater pool and ample choice of activities were what attracted myself and my partner to Meliá Fuerteventura. The incredible natural beauty surrounding the hotel was just as we had imagined, clear blue skies, turquoise waters stretching out along the coast, and a desert-like oasis interspersed with swaying palms.
A spectacular lagoon-style pool, filled with salt water immediately caught our attention. At night it glows among the pool lights, just like the lit-up pathways that run throughout the resort, emanating a romantic feel. We headed to our room, a pristine, white haven, with ample space, a large bed, and balcony where we could luxuriate in our robes and admire the stunning sea views. We tucked into a delicious, international buffet for dinner, before checking out the entertainment of the night.
The heavenly establishment is teeming with activities, there are musicals, evening shows and live music. During the day, be sure to increase your uptake of vitamin D at the beach and take up water sports with the largest windsurfing school in the world, that of Rene Egli, where we took up kitesurfing, and to our surprise, eventually learned not to fall over.
You might not want to pack every day with endless activities, so there are many places to sit back and relax at Meliá Fuerteventura, with Balinese beds, available even next to the bar, an outdoor hoot tub to seep into after a day surfing waves, and a homely spa for invigorating treatments. Dream, rest and explore the island of Fuerteventura at your own pace from the wonderful Meliá Fuerteventura.
