Only 10 metres away from the villa is Playa Tres Vistas, an unspoilt beach with white sand dramatically set amongst the black volcanic lava. This villa is less than a 10 minute walk from the centre of Corralejo where there is excellent shopping and a wide choice of restaurants and bars. There are also several, delightful, cove-like beaches in this area, many of them with a beach bar or restaurant alongside them. They serve snacks and delicious fresh fish and are idyllic places in which to while away the long hours of Fuerteventura sun. These beaches are connected by an attractive, sea front path, which leads into the original, fishing harbour and there are surf centres dotted along this stretch, at regular intervals. The superb, Baku Water Park has massive, water slides, spectacular wave machines and an adjacent 18 hole mini-golf. The on-site Animal Experience offers shows and interactive activities, including swimming with sharks and sea lions.

It is open seven days a week and is located 700 metres from this villa. There are wonderful views of Corralejo from the pretty bell tower and you can enjoy live music and a small Canarian market every Sunday.
The bustling, charming, old harbour area of Corralejo is the original, fishing village in the north of Fuerteventura. This can be reached either on foot and for most of the way along the coastal path which is approximately a 2 kilometre walk, or 4 kilometres by car. The area has trendy, little shops and many restaurants, cafes and bars along the sea wall, offering stunning views out to sea. From here there are regular ferries to the neighbouring islands of Lanzarote and the gorgeous, unpopulated, island of Lobos, as well as several marine excursions, including catamaran trips and glass bottom boats.
Just 2 kilometres from this villa, is the start of some of the world’s, most stunning beaches, which form part of a national park. A seven mile stretch of glistening, white, sands lead into pure, azure seas and are backed by sparkling, white dunes. There is world class windsurfing available along this stretch, including the well known Flag Beach and the sight of the sky filled with colourful kite surfers is truly magnificent. There is an excellent bus service from the centre of Corralejo to the dune beaches and it is also possible to rent bikes in the resort. Fuerteventura has been popular with naturists for many years and there are areas of the dune beaches where they can feel comfortable and are not overlooked.
