4Fuerteventura, Canary Islands, Spain

Known for its long stretches of golden sand and turquoise lagoons, Fuerteventura is the quiet star of the Canary Islands. Its semi-desert landscape ensures constant sunshine and low humidity throughout the year. 

The island is a paradise for beach lovers and water sports enthusiasts—surfing in Corralejo, kiteboarding in Sotavento, or simply soaking up the rays on Playa Cofete. With daytime temperatures often hitting 23°C in winter, Fuerteventura feels closer to the Sahara than to Europe.
