Overview

 
Barcelo Corralejo Sands brings a fresh, contemporary resort feel right into the heart of Corralejo. With two saltwater pools framed by palm trees and Bali beds, a pirate ship splash park for younger guests, and a calming spa for grown-ups, it cleverly balances family fun with space to unwind. Step outside and you’re moments from the resort’s bars, restaurants and shops, while the nearest sandy beach is an easy stroll away.

Think low-rise whitewashed buildings, swaying palms and a wide, lagoon-style pool at the centre of it all. Barcelo Corralejo Sands feels like a self-contained oasis even though you’re just a couple of minutes’ walk from Corralejo’s main strip and beach. Family-friendly suites, a colourful pirate ship splash park and a laid-back spa zone mean every age finds their happy place here. For couples and families who want Fuerteventura’s golden beaches with everything on the doorstep, Barcelo Corralejo Sands is spot on. The resort centre is only 200m away, the nearest beach just 250m, and the famous sand dunes of Grandes Playas around 2km. It’s approximately 1 hour from Fuerteventura (FUE) airport.

Head north for the harbour and ferries to Lanzarote, or south for the protected Corralejo Dunes Natural Park – over 10km of golden sand backed by rolling dunes and turquoise Atlantic views.

  • Pirate ship splash park – a big hit with little ones, with slides, water jets and a themed play structure for safe water fun.
