Stunning, idyllic beaches in the north of Fuerteventura

Very close to the tourist hub of Corralejo, in the north-east of the island of Fuerteventura, lie the internationally renowned Grandes Playas de Corralejo: nine kilometres of idyllic beaches bordered by the Corralejo Dunes, the largest in the Canary Islands. A place where turquoise waters lap against a coastline covered in jable sand, a type of white sand formed naturally by the erosion of sea shells. With excellent exfoliating properties for the skin, jable transforms these beaches into a true natural spa with views of the islands of Lobos and Lanzarote.
