Searching for relaxation in Fuerteventura
Spa days are increasingly fashionable but they aren’t remotely new. In fact, ancient cultures were already well aware of the benefits of water. Today, wellness tourism is gaining ground among a society that is obsessed with rushing round, productivity and constant access to information.
In Fuerteventura, visitors can enjoy a wide variety of water therapies, different temperature jet pools, jacuzzis and saunas. Soothing your nerves, improving your circulation and reducing muscle tension are just some of the most common benefits. Anyone who tries a spa normally comes back for more; it’s hard not to when it improves your mood, beats stress, boosts energy and heightens your ability to enjoy life.
Combining these therapeutic treatments with enjoying the sunshine, the beach and excursions to Fuerteventura’s stunning landscapes is an unbeatable plan. One good idea is to travel the island by following a route of its hotel spas. Below we highlight some of the best options.
The Thalasso Spa in the Barceló Fuerteventura: relax in Caleta de Fuste
The Barceló Fuerteventura hotel is located in Caleta de Fusta in Antigua municipality. Right next to the beach, it’s the ideal place for an unforgettable stay. Caleta de Fuste is the perfect destination for a family holiday and the Barceló Fuerteventura rises to the challenge with a great range of activities for children and adults.
Its impressive Thalasso Spa thalassotherapy centre is next to the hotel and is instantly eye-catching thanks to its modern, cube-shaped, glass building. A relaxing swim in its thermal, sun-heated pool is an utter delight—but that’s just the beginning. Visitors can also enjoy hydromassage jets, cervical jets, air beds and a stimulating sensations shower. And for gym bunnies there is also a great fitness room located in a neighbouring building with large windows.
The spa’s sea water works miracles at reducing your stress and tension as you soak up the oriental-inspired surroundings and gradually unwind. The Thalasso Spa has five treatment rooms where you can book every kind of toning, draining and relaxing massage available. The Fuerteventura Desert Experience is a particularly unique therapy offered by the spa and consists of a skin exfoliation with volcanic lava followed by treatment with soothing aloe vera and finally a relaxation session with volcanic stones.
Spas in Corralejo and Jandía’s beaches
Anyone looking for a spa in Corralejo is spoilt for choice: finding beauty and relaxation centres in north-eastern Fuerteventura is no problem at all. If you want to relax, admiring dune-filled landscapes and swimming in the ocean is a great starting point, but if that’s not enough or you’d like to increase your sensation of well-being, heading to a wellness centre is the perfect solution.
One option you should consider in this popular tourism area of Fuerteventura is the spa at the Barceló Corralejo Sands hotel. Located in the town centre, 600 metres from Corralejo beach, the spa has a covered pool with water jets, a Turkish bath and sensations shower. The Barceló group also has another magnificent spa in this area, this time in the peaceful, adults-only Barceló Corralejo Bay on Avenida Grandes Playas.
In Costa Calma, in southern Fuerteventura, an area famous for its spectacular sandy beaches, there are also several hotel spas. For example, it’s well-worth investigating the spa in the Occidental Jandía Playa hotel close to Jandía’s famous beaches.
The range of wellness options in Fuerteventura and its landscapes, water sports activities and excursions are the best therapy possible for boosting energy levels and restoring your good mood to ensure you live a healthy life.
