Palma, May 26, 2025 – The island of Fuerteventura, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, welcomes a new chapter in luxury travel with the opening of Paradisus Fuerteventura this summer. Located on the iconic Sotavento Beach, the resort debuts as the first high-end, all-inclusive hotel on the island, offering a unique blend of transformative experiences and immersive wellness. With this opening, Paradisus by Meliá reinforces its commitment to the Canary Islands—where it now operates three properties—positioning the destination as a haven for disconnection and exclusivity.
Paradisus Fuerteventura offers more than just a vacation. With its all-inclusive concept, guests are empowered to shape their journey their own way, choosing from a wide array of experiences that range from pure relaxation to vibrant entertainment—both within and beyond the resort. Every element is thoughtfully inspired by the surrounding environment, which defines the essence of the architecture, craftsmanship, gastronomy, activities, and experiences, all seamlessly integrated into the guest experience.
The resort introduces a concept of “Wellness. Designed by Destination.” a philosophy centered on providing guests with a personalized stay that supports a lifestyle of balance and well-being. This approach allows each visitor to set their own pace, disconnect from daily routines, and reconnect with themselves and their companions. All of this is deeply inspired by the unique spirit and natural beauty of the island of Fuerteventura.
A Luxury Retreat Inspired by Nature
The resort’s architecture draws from its volcanic and oceanic surroundings, blending natural materials with soft, organic forms. Guests will find themselves immersed in a landscape that feels almost otherworldly—where golden dunes, secluded coves, and arid mountains meet the sea.
Set on Sotavento Beach, one of the world’s top wind and kitesurfing destinations, Paradisus Fuerteventura is also home to the prestigious René Egli by Meliá watersports center. Thanks to a unique tidal phenomenon, a lagoon forms during high tide, offering perfect conditions for watersports and tranquil family swimming.
The resort features 361 rooms and suites, including ocean-view accommodations decorated with regional art and handcrafted touches. Guests can also enjoy four swimming pools, one of them saltwater, surrounded by tropical gardens.
Wellness designed by Destination: An experiential approach that embraces mental, physical, and social Harmony
Paradisus Fuerteventura offers guests a wide range of experiences designed to help them create their dream holiday—regardless of the type of group they’re traveling with, whether families, friends, couples, or solo adventurers, and no matter the kind of getaway they envision. The resort is especially well-suited for multigenerational families, ensuring memorable stays through a variety of activities adapted for children, as well as innovative and engaging spaces and programs tailored to younger guests. These offerings are part of the Wellness for Families program, which invites families to enjoy shared experiences designed for all ages, such as MINI Zumba dance, Kids Pool Games, MINI Yoga, and KIDS Pilates. All activities are thoughtfully adapted to foster meaningful moments between loved ones.
For those seeking to align body and mind, a team of wellness professionals has created a series of sessions that blend traditional and contemporary approaches to well-being. Guests can enjoy sound healing before bedtime, meditation by the sea, facial treatments, water rituals, and dedicated relaxation and contemplation areas. Conversely, for those looking to energize and elevate their experience, the resort offers a dynamic selection of sports and aquatic classes such as windsurfing and kitesurfing, volcano excursions, live music sessions with local artists and DJs, and themed parties—all designed to release energy and embrace joy.
To deepen the connection with the destination, guests can participate in aloe vera and local crafts workshops, Canarian cheese tastings, and sunset concerts, offering an authentic immersion into the spirit, rhythm, and traditions of Fuerteventura.
Gastronomy, a cornerstone of the luxury offering at Paradisus Fuerteventura, remains deeply connected to the island’s soul. The resort features seven restaurants, ranging from casual poolside dining to elevated international cuisine. The culinary highlight is MAHOS, led by renowned chef Germán Ortega, offering a distinctive signature menu that celebrates local ingredients and a sustainable culinary vision. This exclusive, adults-only dining experience is available to guests of The Reserve.
As is characteristic of the Paradisus by Meliá brand, the resort also provides exclusive options tailored to discerning travelers. The Reserve is an adults-only service offering elevated experiences, including personalized services through a concierge, a private lounge, exclusive pools, and priority access to activities and restaurants.
Committed to Fuerteventura’s Future
More than a resort, Paradisus Fuerteventura is designed to generate positive impact on the island—partnering with local artists and suppliers, promoting regional culture and sports, and supporting inclusive job creation. The hotel also contributes to a circular economy by prioritizing regional products and sustainable practices. This launch is part of Meliá Hotels International’s long-term investment in Fuerteventura, which will soon include the island’s first lifestyle hotel, ZEL Fuerteventura.
In a fast-paced world, true luxury lies in slowing down, reconnecting, and embracing the essence of the destination—something Paradisus Fuerteventura offers in abundance.
