The south-west peninsula of Fuerteventura charms with its striking contrast between immense fine sandy beaches and steep volcanic reliefs. The Jandía dunes extend for several kilometres, sculpted by constant wind that brings welcome freshness under the intense sun. Morro Jable offers a lively seafront lined with palms, while the western cliffs plunge directly into turquoise waters. Sunsets are spectacular, colouring the sky in orange and pink tones. This zone harmoniously marries the absolute calm of protected natural spaces and the discreet animation of high-end resorts.

Things to see and do

Do not miss the Morro Jable craft market, dunes accessible by 4x4, Cofete beach with its tumultuous waters, and the Jandía lighthouse offering exceptional panoramic views over the Atlantic.

Where to eat and drink

Morro Jable restaurants offer local specialities such as fresh grilled fish, Canarian gofio and majorero cheese accompanied by prickly pears. Sea-view terraces serve mojitos and wines from Lanzarote.
