Best Time to Visit

Located very close to the African continent, Fuerteventura boasts a unique climate, with temperatures which rarely go below 25 degrees. If you're a heat lover, then the best months to visit this island are July and September, when you can enjoy sunbathing and swimming on the beautiful beaches of Fuerteventura. If you prefer temperatures to be cooler, come between April and June and take advantage of the fresh wind.

Passport / Visa

Spain can be visited visa-free for up to 90 days by citizens of Australia, New Zealand, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Malaysia, Israel, UAE and most countries in America. If you are unsure whether or not you need to apply for a visa, we recommend contacting the embassy or consulate in your country. International (non-Schengen) travellers need a passport that is valid for at least 3 months after the end of their intended trip in order to enter the Schengen zone. Citizens of Schengen countries can travel without a passport but must have a valid ID with them during their stay.
