Playitas Hotel

If you’re someone who enjoys keeping active and getting involved in all kinds of different sports, you’ll be completely in your element at this resort, set among palm trees and cacti on the southeast coast of Fuerteventura. The whole complex is geared towards fitness and fun, with plenty of scope for taking time out to relax, too. 

Whether you’re an avid golfer, a keen swimmer, a tennis enthusiast or a football fanatic, there’s a seemingly endless variety of sports to take part in here, with top class facilities enabling you to hone your skills. Regardless of your age, ability or experience level, everyone is encouraged to give things a go here – and with regular organised classes and themed activity weeks, there are plenty of opportunities to socialise with others and meet people who share similar interests. 

When you’re not working up a sweat or exploring the majestic volcanic landscapes of Fuerteventura on foot or by bike, the black sand beach of Playa de los Pobres is a unique setting to kick back, unwind and bask in the sunshine – or you may prefer to cool off in the outdoor pool. 

Of course, fitness and nutrition go hand in hand, so it’ll come as no surprise that this hotel takes its food offering seriously. Tuck into delicious and healthy dishes at the main buffet restaurant (including some with ingredients sourced from the hotel’s own vegetable garden), or for a more refined dining experience, why not try one of the à la carte restaurants specialising in Spanish and Italian cuisine? A wide range of drinks and snacks are available from the poolside bar throughout the day as well. 

Certain accommodation types come with fully equipped kitchenettes, and as there’s a supermarket on-site, you’ve also got the option to self-cater if you fancy. 

Please note that some sports facilities, including the Olympic size pool, are subject to an extra charge.
