The Best Spas in Fuerteventura
Home to some of the country’s best thalasso spas — most of them clustered in Caleta de Fuste, minutes from the airport.
Fuerteventura may be all wind and endless beaches, but it also has serious wellness credentials — the resort town of Caleta de Fuste alone holds two of the largest thalasso centres in the Canaries. Here are the spas worth booking, with what each offers, who it suits, and whether you can visit for the day.
