ClubHotel Riu Oliva Beach Resort

in Corralejo , Fuerteventura T rating: 4

 
  • On the beach
  • Excellent facilities
  • 2 pools
Set on Fuerteventura’s largest beach, this place combines an unbeatable setting with a great entertainment scene.
Just metres from the ocean and surrounded by sand dunes on three sides, this imposing hotel brings a whole new meaning to the phrase ‘beachfront location’. The gorgeous stretch of sand spans more than 11 kilometres, making it the biggest on the island.

Head towards the property itself, and you’ll pass through palm-lined gardens before reaching one of the large pool areas. With two swimming pools, two kids’ pools and even a whirlpool, it’s a pretty lively spot during the day. Games and competitions are regularly put on, and there’s a multi-purpose sports court around the corner.

Things are just as up tempo in the evenings, when live music and cabaret shows are followed by a disco. There’s a lounge bar here, too, serving up a great range of cocktails against a backdrop of terracotta walls and funky multi-coloured lights.

As for the hotel’s bedrooms, they’re modern spaces with extras like satellite TV and air-conditioning. Most of the ones in the main building come with ocean views, and they all have large balconies. If you fancy a bit more space, opt for a suite or a family room.

When it comes to dining, the two main restaurants serve up buffet meals, with dishes from all over the world on offer. They both have show-cooking too. For traditional local dishes, meanwhile, head to the Canarian à la carte. Or for a taste of the east, book a table at the Asian restaurant.

Your guide to Corralejo, Fuerteventura

"Charming Corralejo boasts a lovely village feel plus a vast expanse of sands and wind-sculptured dunes."

Sun, sea, sand - they’re here by the bucket load. On the northern tip of Fuerteventura, Corralejo is the island’s biggest resort and offers bliss-inducing beaches that’ll put demanding sun-and sand-lovers on cloud nine.

Once a tiny fishing village, the resort still retains the air of the small port it once was. Surrounded by tasteful modern buildings, the original square is still the main hub of activity although the main drag, with its medley of beach and gift shops, competes hard.

Staying in town is a genuine option thanks to the delightful central beach. Whether you’re holidaying with kids or not, its soft, clean sands are lapped by sheltered, emerald-green waters perfect for splashing around in.

And behind the sands, a huddle of amiable restaurants and bars offer welcome refreshment when the heat gets too much. Stroll around and take your pick from English fish and chips, pizzas or traditional Canarian paella.

But it’s to the south that Corralejo notches up beach brownie points. Here, along the eastern coast, you’ll find endless gorgeous sands and mountainous dunes, lined up like giant beanbags. Add the aquamarine waters and the cooling breezes – and you’re in beach heaven. Be careful though, the currents can be fairly strong.

You’ll never be at a loss for things to do here. Ride a glass-bottomed boat to the volcanic Isla de Lobos to seek out sandy coves.

Or peep around Fuerteventura’s former capital Betancuria, deep inland, with its picturesque church and museum. Come sunset, return to base to enjoy its low-key, bustling nightlife. Most evenings in Corralejo amount to a leisurely starlit supper followed by a chill-out at one of the relaxed bars or discos in its centre.
