The Fuerteventura region

Fuerteventura is the second largest of the Canary islands, but the least developed. Situated on the same latitude as Florida and Mexico and only 100 kms. from the coast of Morocco, it basks in 3,000 hours of sunshine per year.

Fuerteventura has the best beaches of all the Canary Islands, 150 in total, and unlike the other islands most of the beaches are of fine sands, many are wild and unexplored. Indeed the beaches here are considered to be among the best in the world.

The island is a mecca for water sport enthusiasts, windsurfers, surfers and kitesurfers. The world windsurf championship is held here every year. Air temperatures in Fuerteventura range from 21 °C. (January) to 29°C. (August), seawater temperature ranges from 20°C. (January) to 26°C (August).

The El Cotillo area

El Cotillo is a small fishing village at the northern end of Fuerteventura , on the west coast. The village is centred around the small New Harbour (Puerto Nuevo) that is mostly used by local fishermen.

Our apartment is located in this area and this is the very "heart" of the village where one can find quiet bars and restaurants, but not discoteques. The New Harbour is from where the local fishermen set sail and land their catches, whereas the

Old Harbour which is only a short walk to the north over the headland that separates the two, is still the centre of many village activities such as the local fiestas in August.

The Toston Tower is the historical spot of El Cotillo, built as a defence against pirates is now a tourist information centre and it is located on the rock next to New Harbour.

There are miles of beaches to the south of the village, here naturism is accepted and tolerated everywhere, the beaches are excellent, wild and unequipped and even on a busy day they are too big to be overcrowded. The beaches that lie here are la playa del Castillo, la playa del Aljibe de la Cueva, la playa del Aguila and the magnificent playa de Esquinzo, all this marine area is knon as the Surfer's Paradise.

To the north of the village there is an array of breathtaking lagoons (Los Lagos), protected white sandy beaches having a gentle sloping seabed suitable for those less familiar with sea waves. These beaches are great for snorkelling, fishing, swimming or just sunbathing. "La Concha" beach is by far the biggest and best lagoon as its waters have a magnificent bleu/turquoise colour like any Caribbean beach.

El Cotillo is the ideal destination for those seeking a laidback holiday and to unwind in the peace and quiet of the marine nature. There is a certain ralaxed style about the village whose small population come from a wide range of nationalities, mainly people wanting to take things much easier than they did in their homeland

“A real Gem” A really great place to stay close to shops, restaurants and some wonderful beaches. We will be returning in the very near future. The apartment has everything you need and Le Cotillo is such a relaxing place to stay.

“paradise” Having just returned from 2 weeks in cotillo staying at Ocean Gem, we,ve already booked for next year. The apartment is in the perfect location close to everything from shops, beaches, resturants. Try " el rustica " or italian "Soteventa " to name a couple. If a quite laid back holiday is your choice, then this lovely well equiped apartment is ideal.

“Take it easy...and enjoy peace and nature” We really had a wonderful holiday and the accomodation was so nice! The house is comfortable with everything you need to spend you time there. It is very easy to reach it from the airport and to get the key too. What I like most was the patio which gave us the possibility to have lunch and dinner outside. Another important key feature is that the beaches are very close and you can reach them in ten minutes. The area is full of restaurants that can offer international cuisine or a typical canarian menu. We also cooked our meals because the kitchen is fully equipped with all the eletrical devices, cutlery, tableware and pots so it was funny to prepare dinner together!
