Mon - Fri 10am to 5pmAs we have experienced one of the coldest winters in recent years, many of us are constantly thinking about a holiday. The snow storms and Siberian cold is making us want a sun and beach holiday instead of a European city or the snowy mountains.
Luckily you don´t have to travel to southeast Asia or the Caribbean to enjoy a warm winter climate. At only around 4-5 hours from any European airport, Fuerteventura is the ideal spot to enjoy an island of “eternal spring” with the most spectacular beaches of the Canaries on which to spend many hours enjoying the sunshine.
Beach Fuerteventura
Fuerteventura is the second largest of the Canaries and the closest to Africa, situated only 97kms from the northwest coast, hence the privileged climate throughout the year for its residents and visitors. This island of “eternal spring” boasts an average of 320 days of sun per year and an average temperature of 21º.
Although the climate in Fuerteventura is pleasant throughout the year, it is rare to get extreme temperatures, we do have to remember that there are certain differences in the seasons, especially summer and winter.
Out of all the islands, Fuerteventura is the coolest in summer so is ideal to escape high temperatures and it is the warmest in winter. The continual winds on the island throughout the year make it an ideal destination to practice sports such as windsurfing and kitesurfing.
Spring in Fuerteventura
The average temperature in Spring varies between 23ºC and 25ºC with moderate winds making the period between April and June popular to avoid the arrival of tourists in the summer months. The wind gradually increases during the course of spring, alternating between a gentle sea breeze and the moderate trade winds of the northeast.
Summer in Fuerteventura
During the months of July, August and September the average temperature is 27ºC with around 10 hours of sunshine per day. The climate is dry, sunny and windy. With low humidity and little rain, when night falls the temperature drops to around 20ºC making the nights very pleasant. The sea temperature in the summer is around 21ºC.
Autumn in Fuerteventura
October, November and December have pleasant temperatures, around 20ºC and 25ºC, less wind with more rain during the last few weeks of the year but still sunny.

Winter in Fuerteventura
During the winter months the temperature is also pleasant which is why this is an ideal destination for a winter getaway. The temperatures vary between 16ºC and 22ºC. Even in the coldest months you can still enjoy an average of 7 hours of sunshine per day. During December to March there is usually around a week of more rain and stronger winds when the temperatures drop to their lowest level of around 14ºC. The sea temperature in winter is around 14ºC and 19ºC which allows swimming throughout the year in the sea or in the pool of your Vacanzy Collection villa in Fuerteventura.
Fuerteventura and its beaches therefore guarantee a relaxing break in the sun, to recharge the batteries and for a large shot of vitamin D.
Enjoy the island of “eternal spring” at any time of the year and its endless possibilities to escape the cold!!
