As a tourism destination it is still young, but despite this Fuerteventura has grown into one of Europe's most popular holiday hot-spots, and welcomes over six million visitors each year.
If you're thinking of booking a hotel in on the island, you will be able to find the many hotels in Fuerteventura listed on online directories that cater for tourism specifically on the island, or on popular hotel booking sites. Booking and review sites offer user-generated ratings that give good (and bad) ratings for each hotel. Consequently, hotel with an unexpectedly low rating might actually meet what you're looking for, so you could to use that as a (respectful) haggling point, if you go directly to the hotel.
The most popular sight on the island is El jabe, which lies to the north of the island, and includes large sand dunes that have been formed over thousands of years, due to the westerly winds of North Africa carrying sand from the Sahara Desert across the Atlantic ocean. It is because of this meteorological factor - shared by all the Canary Islands - that there are still a lot of unspoiled beaches on the island, which are all accessible by car.
The coastal winds off the island make for perfect surfing and wind-surfing conditions the whole year round, which of course, tourists also enjoy partaking in. The island is also known for viewing whales and dolphins off its eastern coast, due the thermal currents and tides that change with the seasons - these create migrating currents that mammals follow.
Fuerteventura hotels are, in tourism terms, quite new (the first hotel opened in Fuerteventura in 1965), with most being built in the past 30 years. This means that the buildings are generally of high standard, and there hotels that suit all budgets. Tourism in Fuerteventura, though a main destination in the Canaries, is said to be targeted more to couples and young families, but there are places to cater for all holiday goers.
