Fuerteventura Caravan Holiday Ideas

A good friend of mine has recently got a caravan and she’s been off travelling this Summer with her family. She was sad to discover you can’t easily get a ferry over to the Canary Islands. So unless you can afford to charter a ferry, your best bet is to use a company like Caravamos if you want to travel around Fuerteventura with a camper van.

They will pick you up from the airport and take you to the camper vans, where they will give you a full introduction to your vehicle. They run organised trips, so you can see all of the best parts of Fuerteventura. Keep reading for some of the best places to see, relating to Caravan Holiday ideas.

El Cotillo Beach

If you like to surf, El Cotillo Beach is a must-see. Whether you want to enjoy water sports or soak up an incredible sunset, El Cotillo Beach is the place to do it. You’ll be able to sunbathe too, of course.

This beach is located on the north-west of the island, so it makes for incredible sunsets. Many people enjoy yoga sessions on the beach – including the team at Caravamos. Plus, imagine waking up right next to the sea – bliss!

Punta Salinas

If you like quiet travel destinations, Punta Salinas is a must visit place. It’s on the southern tip of Fuerteventura, and is a rockier, more natural terrain to the Canary Islands. No man-made beaches here. it’s dark sand with rocks, and the perfect place for a night time campfire. It’s so dark here, you’ll see the stars like never before!

Fuerte, La Playa de Ayui

If you’re a fan of a stunning blue lagoon and beach caves, then you need to visit Fuerte, La Playa de Ayui. It’s located on the west of the island, and so it too boasts incredible sunsets.

Fuerte, La Playa de Ayui is a stunning Blue Lagoon. It is a must-see when on a Fuerteventura Caravan holiday. Imagine waking up, looking down onto that!

Can you Bring Your Caravan to the Canary Islands?

Many people (like my friend mentioned above) already have a caravan or camper van of their own, and want to take that to the Canaries with them. Unfortunately, there are no ferries from the Spanish Mainland (or even Morocco) over to Fuerteventura, or any of the other Canary Islands. So the only way to get your own transport over is to charter a private ferry.

The average cost of this is over €1500, for a return trip, so it’s not a viable option for most people, and works out much cheaper to fly over and hire one in your destination. Let me know in the comments if you have any other tips for enjoying a Fuerteventura Caravan holiday.
