Opening on Sotavento Beach, the new resort marks the brand’s third property in the Canary Islands
Paradisus Fuerteventura is bringing a new chapter of luxury travel to the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve this summer. Located on the iconic Sotavento Beach, the resort is the island’s first luxury all-inclusive property, pairing transformative experiences with immersive wellness. Marking Paradisus by Meliá’s third hotel in the Canary Islands, this opening reinforces the brand’s commitment to positioning the region as a haven for reconnection and exclusivity.
Positioned where the island’s golden dunes and arid mountains meet the sea, Paradisus Fuerteventura draws inspiration from its volcanic and oceanic surroundings, creating a landscape that feels almost otherworldly. With 361 rooms and suites, including ocean-view accommodations decorated with local art and handcrafted details, the resort features four swimming pools, one filled with saltwater, all nestled within lush tropical gardens. As one of the world’s top wind and kitesurfing spots, Paradisus Fuerteventura is also home to the prestigious René Egli by Meliá watersports centre, benefiting from a unique tidal phenomenon that forms a tranquil lagoon ideal for a range of overwater sports and family swimming.
Building on the brand’s Destination-Inclusive® concept, the resort empowers guests to tailor their stay with a variety of both relaxing and active experiences included, designed to energise and inspire. These include sound healing before bedtime, meditation by the sea, facial treatments, water rituals, windsurfing and kitesurfing lessons, volcano excursions, live music sessions with local artists and DJs, and themed parties. To deepen their cultural understanding of the island, guests can also enjoy aloe vera and traditional crafts workshops, Canarian cheese tastings, and sunset concerts, offering an authentic immersion into the spirit, rhythm, and traditions of Fuerteventura.
Guided by its “Wellness. Designed by Destination.” philosophy, Paradisus Fuerteventura offers guests a personalised stay focused on balance and well-being, encouraging them to set their own pace, disconnect from daily routines, and reconnect with themselves and their surroundings. The resort is particularly well suited to multigenerational stays, providing thoughtfully designed activities and programmes for younger guests, such as MINI Zumba, Kids Pool Games, MINI Yoga, and KIDS Pilates, as part of the ‘Wellness for Families’ initiative, created to foster meaningful shared experiences across all ages.
At the heart of the luxury experience lies Paradisus Fuerteventura’s culinary offering, with seven restaurants to choose from. Ranging from casual poolside venues to refined international dining, the standout offering is MAHOS, led by acclaimed chef Germán Ortega, its signature menu highlights local ingredients and sustainable culinary practices. This exclusive, adults-only restaurant is reserved for guests of The Reserve.
A key component of the Paradisus by Meliá brand, The Reserve offers an elevated, adults-only experience with personalised services, including a private concierge, lounge, exclusive pools, and priority access to activities and dining. Beyond hospitality, Paradisus Fuerteventura is committed to positive local impact through partnerships with artists and suppliers, support for regional culture and sports, and sustainable, circular economy practices. This opening marks a key step in Meliá Hotels International’s long-term investment in Fuerteventura, soon to include the island’s first lifestyle hotel, ZEL Fuerteventura. In a fast-paced world, the resort invites guests to slow down, reconnect, and fully embrace the destination’s essence.
