Set in a sheltered bay beside Las Playitas on Fuerteventura’s east coast, Playitas Resort is one of the Canary Islands’ best options for golfers who want an active, sun-filled holiday with far more than just golf on the itinerary. The resort is built around sport, fitness and outdoor living, making it especially appealing for couples, groups and families who like to stay active between rounds.

The resort includes three main accommodation options: Playitas Hotel, Playitas Aparthotel and Playitas Villas. The hotel has 223 rooms including double rooms, junior suites and pool suites, while the aparthotel offers studios and apartments that work particularly well for families or longer stays. The villas add a more private option close to the golf course.

Golfers can play the resort’s 18-hole, par-67 golf course, which is open year-round. The course enjoys views across the volcanic mountains and nearby Atlantic Ocean, giving the round a distinctly Fuerteventura feel. It is not the longest course in the Canary Islands, but it works well for relaxed holiday golf, warm-up rounds and mixed-ability groups.

Away from the course, Playitas is where the resort really stands out. Facilities include a 50-metre heated Olympic pool, gym, cycle centre, tennis and padel courts, running routes, minigolf, climbing wall, yoga spaces, watersports, diving and a wide sports programme.

For UK golfers, Playitas Resort is a strong choice for a winter-sun or active Canary Islands break, especially for those who want to combine golf with fitness, cycling, swimming, beach time and family-friendly facilities in one easy resort base.
