Fuerteventura Origo Mare Resort

Located in the north of Fuerteventura, this holiday village is nestled between a volcanic nature park and the Canary’s trademark beaches, consisting of a mixture of white and black sand. There’s separate pools for the adults and children - the grown-ups can relax on a sunlounger with a cocktail, while the little ones splash around in the volcano themed waterpark, boasting a wave machine and slides.

The kids’ club offers a wide range of activities for young travellers (aged 4-17), while everyone can have fun with a game of football, basketball, ping pong, mini golf, volleyball and much more. If you prefer to relax on the beach, rather than poolside, take advantage of the complimentary shuttle service. Fuerteventura Origo Mare is not just for human guests, as pets are welcome to come along too!

Choose the meal plan that suits your family the best: there’s Room Only, Bed & Breakfast, Half Board and All Inclusive. The main restaurant offers a buffet service, boasting show cooking. The little guests get special provision, with child-friendly foods available. While for the tiniest travellers, there’s high chairs and the option of heating up baby food. If you go for All Inclusive you can enjoy mid-afternoon snacks, including ice cream for no additional charge.

If you want to explore an unspoilt landscape, you’ll be in the right place, as the island’s nature parks stretch for miles. Is Lobos Island on your bucket list? Just 20 minutes by ferry from Corralejo (20km drive away), it’s easy to get there and well worth the trip - it’s so peaceful that you’re only allowed to stay in this beauty spot for four hours at the most! But don’t worry, it’s small enough to cycle around the entire island in about 45 minutes. Alternatively, you may opt to go snorkelling, windsurfing or dolphin watching.

Or if you’re a cheese lover, you won’t want to miss out on a visit to Museo del Queso (45 minutes’ drive away). Here, you can sample the local Majorero cheese, once you’ve become an expert on this delicacy made from goat’s milk.
