Board options: All Inclusive

Family-friendly resort with dedicated adults-only areas (The Reserve – minimum age 16 years).

Paradisus by Melia Fuerteventura occupies a standout spot on the Jandia Peninsula, in the south of the island. It is wrapped by the protected natural area around Sotavento Beach – a vast sweep of pale sand, shifting dunes and shallow lagoons created by the tide.

The hotel has direct access to the beach via a sloped walkway, so you can wander barefoot along 30km of shoreline or watch the famous windsurfers skimming across the water. Despite the wild surroundings, you’re only a short drive from Costa Calma, where you’ll find low-key bars, cafés and shops, plus a family-friendly, laid-back vibe that matches the resort’s easy pace.

Kanna Beach Club
