Playitas Resort
Antigua
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.

About The Area
Antigua sits in the heart of Fuerteventura, one of the sunniest and most reliable winter golf destinations in Europe. With its volcanic landscapes, Atlantic breezes and relaxed island atmosphere, it provides a dependable year-round base for golfers looking to escape colder climates.
The area is centred around Fuerteventura Golf Club, the island’s flagship championship layout and host of the 2004 Spanish Open. Set against a backdrop of low volcanic hills, the course features wide, inviting fairways but demands precision into water-guarded greens, particularly on the closing stretch. The layout is relatively flat and walkable, making it popular for sociable group trips. Just next door, Salinas de Antigua Golf Club offers a slightly more technical challenge, with tighter driving lines, well-placed bunkers and strong coastal wind influence adding complexity to club selection.
Golf in Antigua is defined by dry, firm conditions and consistent sunshine throughout the year. The Atlantic breeze is often a factor, keeping temperatures comfortable even during warmer months. Winter (October–April) is particularly popular with UK golfers, offering mild daytime temperatures and excellent playing conditions.
Away from the fairways, Antigua retains a quiet Canarian character. The nearby Caleta de Fuste marina offers relaxed waterfront dining and beachside bars, while the island’s long sandy beaches are perfect for post-round walks. Fuerteventura’s natural beauty — from dunes to volcanic terrain — provides scenic excursions, and boat trips along the coast add a leisure element to rest days.
For golfers seeking reliable winter sun, accessible resort golf and a laid-back island atmosphere, Antigua delivers one of the Canary Islands’ most consistent and stress-free golf escapes.
