Families who love long, golden beaches and easy, breezy All Inclusive will feel instantly at home at Iberostar Waves Gaviotas Park. Set just behind Jandia’s showpiece shoreline, this certified sustainable resort mixes playful design – you can literally slide from reception down into the hotel – with seriously practical family comforts. Think big suites for up to six, a jungle-themed splash park, and the brilliant Star Camp clubs that keep kids learning and laughing from breakfast to bedtime.

Bright, beachy and purpose-built for families, Iberostar Waves Gaviotas Park spreads across three low-rise blocks with sweeping sea views towards Jandia’s huge sandy bay. Water babies can rotate between the main pools, the heated kids’ pools and the jungle splash park, while grown-ups sneak off to Spa Sensations or the adults’ sunbathing zones. Suites offer the space and simple kitchen extras families really use, and the All Inclusive set-up keeps snacks, drinks and ice cream flowing with zero stress. For couples and families seeking the Canary Islands’ winter-sun reliability and Fuerteventura’s best beaches, Iberostar Waves Gaviotas Park delivers big. It’s set in relaxed Jandia on Fuerteventura’s south coast, with direct access to the fine golden sands just 200m away. Transfer time from Fuerteventura (FUE) is around 2 hours 15 minutes by coach.

Map & location


Jandia, Fuerteventura, Canary Islands, Spain

Iberostar Waves Gaviotas Park sits on the sun-soaked southern tip of Fuerteventura in Jandia, an area famous for its sweeping dunes, turquoise shallows and reliable breeze. The hotel is tucked just behind the beachfront, so you’re close enough to wander down to the sand yet slightly set back for a calmer, village-style feel.

A short stroll brings you to local shops, cafés and bars, while the main Jandia resort centre and neighbouring Morro Jable offer even more restaurants, surf schools and seafront promenades. Inland, the volcanic hills and Pico de la Zarza provide a dramatic backdrop – ideal if you fancy mixing beach days with a little island exploring.

  • • Beach (Jandia’s main sandy shore) 200m
  • • Nearest shops, bars and restaurants 500m
  • • Jandia resort centre 1.5km
  • • Morro Jable harbour 3–4km
  • Approx. transfer time from airport 2 hours 15 minutes (Fuerteventura – FUE)

Facilities

Pool & outdoors


Water play is where Iberostar Waves Gaviotas Park really shines. Outdoors you’ll find four freshwater pools, including two children’s pools – one heated and one with colourful slides – plus separate areas with Balinese beds and parasols for laid-back lounging. There’s also an indoor, heated pool with whirlpool in the spa, ideal on breezier days.

Little ones gravitate towards the jungle-themed splash park, complete with tipping buckets and water dome, open throughout the day. Pool towels are available with a refundable deposit.

Beyond the gates, Jandia’s standout beach stretches for kilometres – a broad swathe of pale sand and clear shallows that’s brilliant for sandcastles, paddling and long walks. Windsurfing and kitesurfing are popular along this coast, and there’s usually plenty of space even in school holidays.

Spa, sports & wellness


Active types can dip into the air-conditioned gym, equipped with cardio machines and free weights and open from early morning to late evening. Daily activities typically include aerobics, aqua aerobics, pilates, basketball, tennis and volleyball, plus family and team games organised by the entertainment team. Bike hire is available if you’d like to explore the coastline on two wheels (local charges apply).

Spa Sensations provides a quieter corner, with sauna, Turkish bath, whirlpool and an indoor pool, alongside a menu of massages and beauty treatments. Family spa sessions are usually available at set times so you can introduce older kids to a bit of wellness time.

Around the resort you’ll also find practical touches such as baby-changing facilities, refillable towel service (deposit), and plenty of seating areas for a cool drink between swims.
