Paradisus is opening a luxury hotel in the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve of Fuerteventura, Spain, this summer. Located on Sotavento Beach, Paradisus Fuerteventura is the island’s first luxury all-inclusive property and marks Paradisus by Meliá’s third hotel in the Canary Islands, which the brand calls “a haven for reconnection and exclusivity.”
Set in between the mountains, dunes and sea, Paradisus Fuerteventura will have 361 rooms and suites decorated with local art and handcrafted details. With its location known for being one of the world’s top wind and kitesurfing spots, Paradisus Fuerteventura will also house a René Egli by Meliá watersports centre.

On- and Off-Property Activities
Building on the brand’s “Destination-Inclusive” concept, the resort empowers guests to tailor their stay with a variety of relaxing and active experiences that could include sound healing before bedtime, meditation by the sea, facial treatments, water rituals, windsurfing and kitesurfing lessons, volcano excursions, live music sessions with local artists and DJs, and themed parties. To deepen their cultural understanding of the island, guests can, alternatively, enjoy traditional crafts workshops, Canarian cheese tastings and sunset concerts.
Tip: The resort is particularly well-suited to multigenerational stays, providing such activities and programmes for younger guests as MINI Zumba, Kids Pool Games, MINI Yoga, and KIDS Pilates.
Dining, Sustainability and More
In addition, guests can avail themselves of seven restaurants on property, ranging from casual poolside venues to refined international dining. The standout offering is MAHOS, led by acclaimed chef Germán Ortega, its signature menu highlighting local ingredients and sustainable culinary practices. Note that this exclusive, adults-only restaurant is reserved for guests of The Reserve. Guests of The Reserve additionally receive private concierge services, lounge access, exclusive pools, and priority reservations for activities and dining.
The company adds that it’s committed to positive local impact through partnerships with artists and suppliers, support for regional culture and sports, and sustainable, circular economic practices. Looking forward, Meliá Hotels International plans to open the island’s first lifestyle hotel, ZEL Fuerteventura.
