CANARY ISLANDS
Lettable holiday homes
FOR SALE ON FUERTEVENTURA
FUERTEVENTURA T
he least commercialised of the main Canary Islands also offers the best beaches, with golden sand blown over
from the Sahara, great water sports and a growing rentals market helped by increasing numbers of independent fl ights. The lettings sites all point to the
working town and resort of Corralejo in the north as being the place to be, with the purpose-built resort of Caleta de Fuste also being popular. Roy Webber of Fuerteventura
Property World recommends the complex of Las Dunas, south-east of Corralejo which he says “rents extremely well”, with clients regularly receiving 40-plus weeks a year occupancy (www.fuerteventura-
propertyworld.com). “It’s six to seven minutes’ walk from the beach and shops, and the complex has a pool, gym and tennis courts,” he says. “Brand new one-bedroom apartments cost €79,000 (£70K) and you can expect to pay €70,000-€75,000 (£62K- £66K) for a resale.” According to
HomeAway.co.uk, the
average weekly rent for a one-bed on the island is £250, two bedrooms are

£400 and a three-bedroom villa (their most successful type of property, in Corralejo) is £666 per week. Natalia Bosch of Top House
Fuerteventura (www.
tophousefuerteventura.com) shares another choice of Webber’s – one- bedroom apartments on the new Los Delfi nes complex 100 metres from the sea in Corralejo. “Pay €120,000 (£106K) and rent out for half the year for €500-€550 a month,” she says. “My other suggestion for an apartment is the large Oasis Dunas complex where a one-bedroom apartment costs €80K-€100K (£71K- £88K) and rents out for €300 a week; or €450 a month. Families can use the lounge for a sofabed or cot. “For a villa, I’d recommend one
near the El Campanaria shopping mall, fi ve minutes from the beach. We have a two-bedroom resale for €160,000 (£142K) which rents for €700 to €900 a week and gets 50 per cent occupancy.” Word on the island is to avoid the area of Parque Naturelle (with half completed complexes that are hard to sell) but look for resale three-bedroom villas close to Las Dunas – at the

popular Las Pergolas III they cost €250,000-€300,000 (£221K-£265K). Three-bed homes on the El Sultan
complex also rent well, says Webber. Fifteen minutes’ walk from the centre, near Baku waterpark, new townhouses cost €220,000 (£195K). And what about a golf resort?
There’s Fuerteventura Golf Resort in Caleta de Fuste (from €190,000), although their UK agent, Barton Wyatt, says that 12 weeks a year rental is good going, so that doesn’t really compare with Tenerife.
