This award-winning hotel offers an ideal location for beach lovers, 25 minutes’ walk from the centre of town. Two freestyle pools are surrounded by tropical gardens and the Neo-Mudéjar-style architecture features Moorish and Arabesque influences, with warm terracotta tones, elegant arches and domed ceilings creating an attractive and airy space. The exceptional service is enhanced with personal touches and you can enjoy free loungers and parasols on the beach and daily free access to the Spa Bahia Vital’s hydrotherapy circuit which takes you on a revitalising journey. Kids can have fun at the mini club while adults retreat to the indulgent Coco Bahia chill-out area, set on a private pier with Balinese beds available to rent, relaxing music and a Champagne menu. The breakfast buffet at La Alacena Real has everything from omelettes and home-made pastries to local hams and cheeses. Gaze out over the ocean while enjoying fresh fish and Mediterranean cuisine at the open-air Beach Club Las Palmeras or at Coco Bahia Lounge & Club, an à la carte restaurant and bar on the beach. Experience mouth-watering culinary creations by a Michelin-starred chef at the gourmet restaurant, La Cúpula de Carles Gaig. Las Columnas offers sensational Spanish cuisine and tapas accompanied by fine wines and the chic Japanese restaurant, Yamatori, has a sushi bar and teppanyaki tables. Sip cocktails on the pier at the Coco Bahia chill-out area or enjoy relaxing music on the ocean-view terrace of the Lobby Bar, El Mirador. The elegant rooms have a sitting area and balcony or terrace. Double Rooms have garden or pool views and there’s the option to upgrade to enjoy full panoramic sea views. The spacious Junior Suites are set on the ground floor with a larger living area and sofa bed. If you’re travelling with children we recommend upgrading to one of the Family Rooms which consist of two interconnecting Double Rooms. One of the bedrooms has a king-size bed while the other features twin beds.
Imagine a chilled-out surf pad for adults wanting the finer things in life, and you have Sol Beach House at Melia Fuerteventura. This oceanfront bolthole overlooks the sparkling lagoon of Playa de Sotavento – a windsurfing hot spot, and home to the world championships. It’s a place to unplug and unwind: the vibe is relaxed, the interiors minimalist, and the food for buffet breakfast and dinner farm-to-fork fresh. If you’re more into your asanas than your surf, then the outdoor yoga sessions against a dramatic Atlantic Ocean backdrop are for you – there’s no need for a Spotify relaxation playlist with waves crashing against the sand. An infinity-edge pool looks out over the same glorious vistas, as does the outdoor terrace and its lantern-lit wooden tables. You’re also surrounded by the untamed beauty of Jandía Natural Park, a wild sliver on the south-west spit of land jutting out into the Atlantic – great for scenic hikes. The newly refurbished rooms and suites are styled as beach houses, with a pale colour palette accented by driftwood sculptures and headboards, rattan scoop chairs and brightly patterned cushions. Pick a Junior Suite Balcony Beach House Sea View for light-flooded digs overlooking the Atlantic, or go for a Xtra Junior Suite Balcony or Terrace Beach House Sea View for a smattering of luxe finishes – freestanding bathtub, organic beach bag with flip flops and vintage bike loan.
Fuerteventura basks in 3000 hours of sunshine a year, calling for optimum sun-basking opportunities – and XQ El Palacete delivers. Balinese days beds are dotted around a bubbling whirlpool bath on a wooden terrace, with views of the ocean beyond. A smattering of padded loungers line a glass-edged terrace above the jewel-toned sea below, while a gleaming outdoor pool begs to be dived into – the sun bouncing off its sparkling surface. You couldn’t ask for a better location: XQ El Palacete looms over the powdery dunes of Playa Jandía in the south of the island; you weave through the undulating sand to reach the beach and Atlantic Ocean beyond. The foam-tipped swell lures windsurfers from across the world, but the golden grains are just as enticing for sunbathing. The pace shifts down a few gears in this corner of the island: wake to leisurely breakfasts set against a soundtrack of crashing waves, go cycling in Jandía Natural Park, and help release rescued loggerheads into the sea at Morro Jable’s Turtle Nursery. While away the afternoon flitting between the hot tub, pool and sun lounger, before ending the day with a feast of day-fresh seafood and local cuisine. Behind a lemon-yellow façade, rooms are classic and rooted in place – think oceanic blues or bleached stone hues, coastal-inspired wall art and coral-pink cushions. Many come with private sea-facing balconies for optimal blue-on-blue views.
