Where to stay in Fuerteventura with children
Is Fuerteventura a good destination with children?
Yes. With dolphins, beaches of all styles, a water park, squirrels and suitable hotels, Fuerteventura is a great destination for children.
Where to stay in Fuerteventura with young children
With young children, you’re probably looking for a lagoon-like beach with a gentle slope and lots of sand.
In this case, we recommend:
Caleta de Fuste for large resorts with activities – see top-rated accommodations
El Cotillo, for a quieter, more authentic village – see our top-rated accommodations
Where to stay in Fuerteventura with teenagers
With slightly older children, we prefer Corralejo.
The town has plenty to offer in the way of activities, including the Acua water park for older children and teenagers.

OUR TIPS FOR RENTING A CAR IN Fuerteventura
- Compare prices on our preferred platform: DiscoverCars – one of the best rated sites.
- A small car is all you need.
- But you can also choose a larger one if you wish, as the parking spaces are rather large.
- There’s a lot of demand and it’s an island, so book early.

Why choose it
The Barcelo Corralejo Sands hotel offers a pleasant stay thanks to its central location, making it easy to enjoy the charms of the city.

For children
A particular advantage for families with young children is the dedicated area specially designed for them. With an adapted swimming pool and play area, parents can easily keep an eye on their children while enjoying moments of relaxation. It’s the perfect place to play together and create precious family memories.

We particularly liked the two Royal-Level hotels, as they offer a quieter environment, yet still have access to entertainment when you want it.
For children
So you have access to several pools (depending on the hotel you choose, with or without entertainment). There are clubs for all ages with entertainers. Table tennis, outdoor games… there’s plenty to choose from!

Barcelo Royal Level family swimming pool
This hotel has a pool for toddlers and another for older children and adults. It’s much quieter than the resort’s other pools. But if one day, you want a bigger pool, you can go and enjoy the others.
This part of the hotel doesn’t lead directly onto the beach, but it’s less than a 5-minute walk away, so it’s not difficult… And you’re a little quieter.

Barcelo Fuerteventura Mar swimming pool
Large, pleasant pools for swimming or just relaxing in the water.
The beach is just outside the hotel, so you don’t even need to wear shoes, just cross the boardwalk and have your feet in the sand.
This is the busiest part of the hotel.
