Lengthen the summer in Fuerteventura, an ideal plan for September



Orange blossom scented nights, fresh meals, light clothing, full days, holidays and unchanging temperatures, never having to leave the beach ... With these examples, few (or very few) want the arrival of autumn. Yes, as the season before winter begins to peek over the horizon and make itself present next 22 September.

While crossing the big pond and heading to the Caribbean is a valid option for those searching to enjoy a real summer vacation (like those of July and August) in September, we must not forget that in our country we have destinations that are the envy of those on the other side of the Atlantic. Unique and charming places like Fuerteventura, where summer lasts almost all year. How about opting for a holiday in this jewel of the Canary Islands?

The Atlantic, natural and perfect, as is Fuerteventura, an island that is a Biosphere Reserve, presents the visitor with endless beaches, crystal clear water and mountainous landscapes formed by the Canary Islands volcanic history. For all this and much more, Fuerteventura is a perfect place to enjoy the summer, limitless calm and direct contact with nature.


Living the Atlantic throughout its entirety

One recommended idea for those who want to make the most of the island, is to get to know the underwater side of Fuerteventura. That other side where you can enjoy native marine species and flora unique to the Atlantic waters of the Canaries.

Although you can practice on all the island’s beaches, the beaches of Cofete or Cotillo are ideal for snorkelling. Why is this? The quality of their water, always crystal clear, always clean and perfect.

Walking among volcanoes

When the day on the beach comes to an end is when you can experience excursions to natural beauty spots that give shape and identity to Fuerteventura. And the island has trails that reach three hundred kilometers in length and are perfect to cover (in sections) on foot. The best? Many of these hikes (such as Isla de Lobos) are volcanic, hence the expedition is unique.

Where to stay in Fuerteventura?

Whether in the more populated or in the most natural areas, it’s certain that Fuerteventura is a place to enjoy relaxing without limits, with all kinds of luxuries and comforts. Our choice is to opt for some of the resorts that make up Playa Jandía.

IBEROSTAR Fuerteventura Palace

On the beach and full of extras for those traveling with friends or family, the IBEROSTAR Fuerteventura Palace hotel is ideal for those who want to make the most of the island without sacrificing luxury and comfort option. Its quality and price make it stand out amongst the hotels in this destination.

IBEROSTAR Gaviotas Park

It is enough to refer to the Spa Sensations to know that we are talking about IBEROSTAR Gaviotas Park. A four-star hotel located in Playa Jandía with a gym, house entertainment for kids and with direct access to the beach.

IBEROSTAR Playa Gaviotas

With its all-inclusive offer Iberostar Playa Gaviotas is another option for those looking for a hotel with Spa in Fuerteventura. With a beachfront location and with lots of extras, this hotel has a Bowling bar, regular shows and a schedule of family sports.

Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary

In our goal to talk about Dubai’s sightseeing, at the Arabian Courtyard Hotel & Spa we would like to dedicate some words to the Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary, Cape of the Creek is the translation.

It is a wetland reserve known for attracting many species of migratory birds, although it is also the house of several crustaceans, small mammals and fishes. This area is halfway in between forest and city. It is just metres from the city.
The area covers about 6 kilometres and holds salt flats, mudflats, mangroves and salt ponds. it supports more than 20.000 waterbirds and 67 species. And it houses more than 500 species of flora and fauna.

Some regular visitor species are: the greater flamingo, the osprey, the mallard, the grey plover, the western reef heron or the common ringed plover.

The Dubai Municipality and the National Bank are making efforts to preserve the wetland. Although it has been fenced off from the public, there are three bird hides located on the perimeter which are the first stage to develop a program for visitors. The three areas opened to visitors operate from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm, Saturday to Thursday, and it is free.

Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary was established in 1985 and was officially declared as a protected area in 1998, it is among few protected urban areas in the world. It is considered one of the best-managed arid zones in the region.

The protected area is close to the Arabian Courtyard Hotel & Spa since it is located at the end of Dubai creek, so guests who need further information about the reserve can ask for it at the reception desk, our professional team will be pleased to help you at any time as we have 24 hours service and tour assistance.
