El Palmeral is set
on Fuerteventura, with its world-famous beaches formed from sand
blown over from the Sahara.
The sheltered sandy beach of Caleta de Fuste
is within easy walking distance of the resort, and the El Castillo
fortress and a harbour and marina with an abundance of water sports
are also just a gentle stroll away. The beach, restaurants, bars and
shops are all close at hand.
The second-largest island in the Canaries after Tenerife, Fuerteventura
is quite different in character to the others, with its eroded, gentle
mountains and its endless miles of broad natural beaches of golden sand,
often backed by magnificent dunes, contrasting with the sharp volcanic
spires and man-made or volcanic black-sand beaches prevalent elsewhere
in the archipelago. Its arid interior landscape preserves a rare charm
and peace, while the nightlife in its coastal resorts is as lively as
would be expected from such a popular holiday destination. One thing it
does have in common with the other islands is wonderful weather, with an
annual aggregate of over three thousand hours of sunshine.
The resort has a
children's pool and swimming pool. All units are ground floor and the
resort is friendly to people with walking difficulties, as most levels
have ramps.
One- and two-bedroom
apartments are available, all with full kitchens, satellite TV
