Rimmed with heavenly beaches and boasting a volcanic skyline, the island of Fuerteventura in Spain’s Canary Islands is a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve. Stroll the sands of the wild Cofete Beach, or La Concha where the half-moon shore is protected by a lava stone reef. Shop for locally crafted goods at the Nautilus Shop in El Cotillo, or visit the market on Saturdays in Lajares for more shopping and live music. In La Oliva, peruse the art galleries including Centro de Arte Canario and Casa de los Coroneles cultural center. Visits to local “cheeseries” are a must-do: Fuerteventura is noted for its distinctive cheeses, including Origin Majorero. For a romantic dinner, book a table at Casa Marcos in the village of Villaverde, where choices include intimate, private dining rooms, or a table on the wide terrace. Order tapas, fish, Iberian ham or an authentic local dish, then sit back and drink in the views. Lodging ranges from high-end luxury at Elba Palace Golf & Vital Hotel, where the challenging course provides gorgeous sea views. Non-golf activities range from cycling, personal fitness training sessions and Aquagym classes to scuba diving, snorkeling, massage sessions and therapeutic sea water circuits at Hesperides Thalasso Spa, located nearby.
