Fuerteventura is the driest and warmest of the Canary Islands according to The Traveller. With more than 300 days of annual sunshine, it is a perfect year-round beach and holiday destination.

​

The Islands are Spanish-owned and the most southerly and hottest part of Europe, lying just 100km west of the southern tip of Morocco.

​

As the name implies it can be very windy, hence Fuerteventura's fame as a watersports destination, but also completely calm and, more usually, with a steady breeze ensures the island feels wonderfully hot (but not unbearably so) in the summer. 

​

Note: Even when cloudy/windy the summer UV is often 11 (the highest) and you still tan beautifully. Or burn! Factor 30 is essential.
