Every year, the famous travel portal TripAdvisor, which gathers opinions from millions of users around the world, publishes its ranking of the best beaches across the European continent.

Sotavento (Fuerteventura) and Playa de Muro (Mallorca) have been awarded the Traveller's Choice Awards 2023

These natural landscapes have received numerous accolades from travelers, and rightly so, as they are truly breathtaking. Furthermore, they are located very close to several of our hotels, such as the R2 Río Calma and R2 Maryvent Beach Apartments , so your relaxation is guaranteed.

Many describe Sotavento as a wild, unspoiled area stretching over nine kilometers. If you want to enjoy its radiant, year-round sunshine, this is the beach for you. A natural wonder just a 12-minute drive from the R2 Río Calma.

Just a short drive away is Playa de Muro in Mallorca, accessible from the R2 Bahía Cala Ratjada bus line, where you can enjoy one of the island's most idyllic destinations. Turquoise waters, fine sand, and breathtaking sunsets await you.
A perfect place to enjoy with family, alone, or as a couple, where you can enjoy nature, as well as the local sports and cuisine. A must-do experience if you're visiting Mallorca.
Whichever you choose, you won't lack fabulous views and the best rest with R2 Hotels near you.

After many modifications throughout its history, the Tostón Lighthouse is an example of evolution that currently reaches 37 meters in height and operates using solar energy.

The natural beauty surrounding this lighthouse will leave you speechless. You'll be amazed by the crystal-clear lagoons protected by reefs, perfect for swimming with your family or partner. Just a few kilometers away, you'll also find Los Lagos Beach, El Cotillo, Corralejo, and other nearby towns.

Near the structure you also have the Traditional Fishing Museum where you can learn more about one of the trades with the longest history in Fuerteventura, fishing.

It's very easy to get there, and parking isn't much of a problem. We recommend visiting early in the morning to avoid crowds of tourists. You can also ask at reception about different ways to get to this dreamlike place.

A holiday in Fuerteventura is synonymous with beaches, sun, relaxation, and getting away from it all. However, a visit to the island wouldn't be complete without a stop in its capital, Puerto del Rosario, a 45-minute drive from R2 Río Calma or an hour and a half by public transport with Tiadhe (Fuerteventura's regular transport service). This city, whose evolution over the years has made it one of the most sought-after destinations in the Canary Islands, is a must-see. At R2 Hotels, we want to offer you a guide so you don't get lost in this wonderful city, which you can explore in just one day.

The first thing to do would be to stroll through the main pedestrian area of the city, Primero de Mayo street, get to know the shops, restaurants and start to more or less identify the different places of interest that the town hides.
After a couple of laps exploring the area, we recommend visiting the Church of Our Lady of the Rosary, located on the same street mentioned above, a cultural landmark that has endured since its peak in the 19th century.

For those who enjoy learning about the history of the islands, and specifically that of Fuerteventura, a visit to the Lime Kilns is a must. These industrial structures were built to extract lime from limestone, a material that served as an economic mainstay for Fuerteventura for a long period.

If you're a traditional sun and beach tourist, in Puerto del Rosario you'll also find idyllic spots like Puerto del Rosario beach, very close to the town center; Playa Blanca with its golden sand away from the crowds; Playa Chica, perfect for those looking for a central option; and more. All are perfect for surfing if you're a water sports enthusiast.

Try the Majorero cheese and the island's local cuisine can also be a perfect plan if you decide to visit the capital. Getting bored is impossible with everything this incredible city has to offer.

Shall we go to Fuerteventura? What do you say? It's never a bad time to visit the island of Fuerteventura and discover its stunning coastal landscapes, its immense dunes, and its diverse and unique lighthouses.

Yes, you read that right, the lighthouses of Fuerteventura can be a good reason for your next getaway to be to this destination (in addition to its huge paradisiacal beaches, of course).

Today, the island boasts six lighthouses and a beacon tower, all tasked with watching over the coastline of Fuerteventura. They stand out for their unique and distinctive structures and the stories they hold, especially considering that the oldest date back to the 19th century, and like good old-timers, they have plenty of tales to tell ;P.

We present them to you:

Curious, right? It could be a good plan for a day trip around this beautiful island.
And you? Have you already made time in your schedule to meet them? It will be worth it!

If you're a daring, curious, and adventurous person, a sport like surfing is likely to catch your eye. The sea breeze, the Canarian climate, and the tropical landscapes create a perfect combination for you to enjoy this activity like no other. At R2 Hotels, we suggest you explore the beaches of Lanzarote and Fuerteventura on a board. A unique and unforgettable experience for beginners, amateurs, and professionals. Therefore, we want to tell you about three perfect beaches for surfing on the two easternmost islands of the archipelago.

A favorite with many surf academies. The reason? Its tranquility and its waves. It's a beach of fine white sand, but with the special quality of being windy. Located between Majanicho and the Tostón Lighthouse, this space can be reached by taking the North Shore Highway. This coastal area with fantastic views is accessible by car or public transport.

Also perfect for surfing, this beach stands out for its diverse areas, some of which are geared toward beginners. Aside from its sandy bottom, entry to the water is very easy, making it a very safe area. It's located in a tourist area, and therefore has several nearby services, from schools to equipment rental businesses. To reach Flag Beach, take the FV-2 and FV-1 highways toward Corralejo. We recommend parking near the dunes.

This majestic, six-kilometer-long beach is sheltered by a mountainous cliff, home to the island's highest point, Peñas del Chache. The trade winds in the area make this spot a perfect place for surfing. It can be accessed through the village of Caleta Famara, where you can easily find parking.
Fun and exciting, that's how many describe surfing. A sport that can be practiced in the best possible conditions in both Lanzarote and Fuerteventura. Do you dare?

Discovering vast beaches with crystal-clear waters, places brimming with nature, and idyllic landscapes is possible in Fuerteventura. But did you know that this island is also known for its great music? Since 2018, the Tuineje Town Council has been organizing the prestigious Arena Negra Festival, an event that has already featured renowned artists such as Estopa, Orishas, and others.

This November 11th and 12th, the spotlights, LED screens, the biggest stage and the best music return to Gran Tarajal beach thanks to R2 Hotels, with the participation of Mónica Naranjo, Nathy Peluso, Rigoberta Bandini and many other artists yet to be confirmed.

Why just enjoy the music? Explore the hidden corners of Fuerteventura. Discover the island's beaches and stroll along its vast shores. Don't worry about accommodation; a rest area with various tents and caravans has been set up for the duration of the festival. Public transport will also be running extra buses to help all attendees enjoy the island's biggest music event.

Visit the famous Gran Tarajal beach, discover and practice top water sports like surfing and kitesurfing. Who wouldn't want an exciting trip in a paradise setting!

Throughout Tuineje, you'll find various establishments where you can sample the most typical Canarian dishes. Locally sourced, homemade products abound: goat meat, gofio (a type of flour), frangollo (a sweet cornmeal pudding), limpets, Majorero cheese, and more. Prefer not to experiment? Don't worry, being a coastal area, you can also opt for more traditional choices like different types of fish or seafood.
It's not just music; the Arena Negra Festival is so much more. It's a collection of different parts of Fuerteventura, all concentrated into one huge event. Discover its people, its villages, its beaches, and its delicious cuisine. Don't wait any longer—pack your bags now!

The Canary Islands boast exceptionally beautiful spots. The islands' volcanic landscape, combined with their coastlines sculpted by the sea and wind, creates spaces that tourists associate with paradise. And they're not wrong. That's why at R2 Hotels we want to tell you about three natural pools that are a must-see if you decide to spend your holidays in Fuerteventura.

Many describe this natural pool on the west coast of Fuerteventura as the perfect balance of peace and tranquility. It's a privilege to float on the water, aware that beyond its rocks lies the vastness of the Atlantic Ocean.

A perfect spot for a relaxing swim in a sublime setting. Crystal-clear water, a pristine sea, and the volcanic landscape typical of the islands. It's easily accessible from the village of Llanos de la Concepción, specifically from Playa del Valle. Even so, we recommend wearing appropriate footwear for safety.

If you're looking for something to do away from the main tourist areas, Ajuy is the perfect place. It's primarily known for its caves. However, this small town on the west side of the island also boasts a beautiful beach and natural pools where escaping stress and forgetting about daily life has never been easier.

These pools are one of the best-kept secrets of this small town, tiny natural pools of crystal-clear water nestled at the foot of the cliff. Access is difficult, but the trek is well worth it. It's important to swim at low tide, as the water can be dangerous at higher tides.

In the municipality of Antigua, near Puerto del Rosario, lies the town of Caleta de Fuste. This central point on the island is just a few kilometers from Costa Calma, where several of our hotels are located. Here, tourists can enjoy a variety of activities, from visiting museums like the Majorero Cheese Museum or the Salinas del Carmen salt flats to enjoying beaches such as Playa del Castillo or Playa de la Guirra.

If you're looking for a truly unique experience, you can always visit the natural pool at Castillo Caleta de Fuste, a space formed by nature with water coming directly from the ocean, hence its characteristic crystal-clear green color typical of the Canary Islands. This spot is located between the town of Nuevo Horizonte and the northern part of the Castillo area. It's easily accessible, and we recommend swimming at low tide, as otherwise it can be very dangerous.

If you're looking to relax, disconnect, and forget about your routine, taking a dip in one of these pools and discovering another side of Fuerteventura is a great idea. Don't wait any longer and pack your bags.

Lanzarote is one of the most impressive islands in the Canary Archipelago. Unlike others such as La Palma or Tenerife, the island of the "Hundred Volcanoes" stands out for its brown hue and its appearance, a blend of desert and paradise. You'll feel like you're in an oasis thanks to its completely unspoiled, wild beaches where relaxation is effortless. Swimming along the coast will make you feel like you're in a natural pool in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, thanks to the calm and tranquility of the sea, which also creates pools and tide pools where disconnecting from reality has never been easier.

At R2 Hotels, we want to recommend three natural pools that will make your trip to Lanzarote an unforgettable experience:

In the municipality of Haría lies the small fishing village of Punta de Mujeres. Tranquility, beauty, and peace prevail in this town, whose rocky coastline doesn't prevent its residents from enjoying a refreshing swim.

Descending some of its stairs or jetties, you can enjoy this natural pool where the water comes directly from the sea. A perfect combination of sun, lava, and ocean.

Yes, it's a beach. But at times, it feels like you're in a swimming pool, thanks to the rocky areas that jut out halfway between the shore and the sea. Its name, "Blanco," comes precisely from the color of the sand, which, combined with the crystal-clear water, creates a unique and unforgettable landscape.

Perfect for a tourist getaway where children and adults can enjoy a picture-perfect setting accessed through Órzola, another charming town in the municipality of Haría.

Considered by many to be one of Lanzarote's best-kept secrets, it's also hidden away in one of the island's most secluded corners. Near the tourist area of Playa Blanca, you'll find this haven of relaxation.

A collection of natural pools formed by the erosion of solidified volcanic lava by powerful ocean waves. They vary in depth and size, but all share one thing in common: their crystal-clear waters. The perfect place to recharge.

As these are rocky areas, we recommend that visitors wear sturdy footwear to avoid injury and respect the natural environment by keeping it as clean as possible. Finally, enjoy and be amazed by the paradise that the island of Lanzarote has to offer.

If you're planning one of your last summer getaways to Mallorca, don't miss this list of the best coves for families with children that you can find in the northeast of the island.

Just 600 meters from R2 Bahía Cala Ratjada lies Cala Ratjada, Mallorca's second most important fishing port, in the municipality of Capdepera. Its traditional character is still evident with numerous fishing boats. Undoubtedly, a place you won't forget.

A cove of spectacular beauty that you can find practically deserted during the summer months. It's located just a 15-minute walk from the center of Cala Ratjada and the R2 Bahía Cala Ratjada hotel. Furthermore, it has been designated a protected area by the Balearic Government due to the abundance of bird species that frequent its crystal-clear waters. It's important to note that the size of the beach can change depending on the weather and currents, but even so, it's a spectacular place to spend a day at the beach.

Cala Millor is the longest beach on the east coast of Mallorca, stretching 1.8 km. It boasts white sand, crystal-clear waters, a Blue Flag designation, and all the amenities for a family holiday. You can also enjoy a variety of activities for children:

• Cala Millor tourist mini-train that operates from Easter until the end of September.
• Horseback riding where children can have a special excursion surrounded by nature.

It's a very easily accessible and quite spacious beach. It boasts 350 meters of white sand and very clean, clear water. A perfect place to visit and spend a day with the family.

If you want to enjoy an island surrounded by nature, you can book here at the two hotels and apartments we have available in Mallorca. We look forward to welcoming you!

When planning our family holidays, we always try to find fun, safe options suitable for the youngest members of the family. In the case of Fuerteventura, the beaches are one of the main attractions. Vast stretches of white sand with crystal-clear waters, small coves sheltered from the wind, urban beaches with all kinds of amenities, and wild beaches are spread along more than 300 kilometers of coastline.

Today, in our latest blog post, we're suggesting some beaches scattered across the island that, thanks to their size, location, and calm waters, are ideal for enjoying a worry-free holiday with children. Keep reading!

The entire Costa Calma, where our R2 Río Calma Spa & Conference is located, is a stunning bay forming a vast beach over two thousand meters long and up to three hundred meters wide. It boasts fine, white sand and calm waters. Its expansive size ensures you'll always find a spot to lay your towel comfortably and with some privacy. The beach also offers a wide range of amenities, including restrooms, showers, foot baths, and umbrella and sun lounger rentals. Of course, for children, there's a playground, a sports area, and lifeguard stations.

If you're looking for a quieter beach, this is the perfect choice. Located between Costa Calma and Sotavento beaches, further south on the island, it's sheltered from the wind by a cliff. If the tide is low, it's a spectacular sight for all ages. It's ideal for families with children, offering numerous amenities such as restrooms, showers, lifeguard service, and even a beach bar. Young children often have a blast searching for marine fossils and, with a bit of luck, spotting whales and dolphins from a distance. To reach the beach, simply follow the easy dirt track to the parking area.

Los Lagos in El Cotillo are a series of natural beaches located near the town of El Cotillo, right on the road leading to the famous lighthouse. These sheltered beaches are ideal for families, with fine, white sand. They are completely safe, as the reef prevents the formation of waves. The calm waters, white sand, and abundant marine life make this a perfect spot for snorkeling and exploring the seabed. They tend to be crowded during the summer months, and it's important to know that they don't offer the same level of amenities as the other beaches we've mentioned, although there are bars and restaurants nearby.

This is a natural bay completely sheltered from the wind and waves, making it a comfortable and especially safe option for families with children who want to enjoy the beach in complete peace and quiet. It offers all kinds of amenities, such as sunbed and parasol rentals, showers, a variety of restaurants, and plenty of options for renting equipment and practicing different water sports. If, in addition to enjoying the sun and the beach, you'd like to do some sightseeing, one of the most important landmarks in Caleta de Fuste is located nearby: the Tower of San Buenaventura, also known as Fuste Castle. This small, circular fortification once served to protect the coast.

It's located in the fishing village of Morro Jable, in southern Fuerteventura. This enormous beach boasts white sand and calm waters that range from turquoise to emerald. It offers numerous amenities, including lifeguards, sunbed and parasol rentals, beach bars, and areas for water sports such as surfing and kayaking. It also borders a promenade lined with shops, leisure centers, and restaurants. For those interested in exploring, the Saladar de Jandía is nearby, a Site of Scientific Interest that preserves a type of vegetation, very rare in the Canary Islands, that is resistant to saltwater.

This concludes our tour of some beaches that are especially suitable for families with children, although these are not the only options. We hope this information helps you plan those long days at the beach during your family vacation. As a final tip, to ensure you have the best possible experience on sunny days at the beach, don't forget to bring sunscreen, a beach umbrella, and some water.

The cold winter is behind us, and the arrival of spring brings with it a desire to make outdoor plans. Mallorca is undoubtedly the perfect destination for a getaway, allowing you to make the most of your time at this time of year with its long days, mild climate, and colorful landscape.

Today, in our latest blog post, we're suggesting some beaches scattered across the island that, thanks to their size, location, and calm waters, are ideal for enjoying a worry-free holiday with children. Keep reading!

One of Mallorca's main attractions is its charming corners. Many of these can be discovered along a route through the island's most enchanting villages. Throughout the largest of the Balearic Islands, it's easy to stumble upon them almost by chance. A stroll through the streets of Sóller, a sunset in Deià, getting lost in the surroundings of Valldemossa, or simply enjoying the beauty of Banyalbufar are just a few of the most highly recommended.

This is one of Europe's top destinations for cycling tourists. Countless routes, designed by and for cycling enthusiasts, wind through some of the island's most stunning landscapes. You don't need to be an expert to hop on two wheels and explore the wonders along the way. We promise you'll be blown away by the scenery and, most importantly, gain a completely new perspective on Mallorca.

Mallorca is a true paradise for hiking and walking enthusiasts. One of its greatest attractions is the ease with which you can combine mountain trails with coastal routes. Getting away from urban areas and immersing yourself in nature is a key goal for trekkers and hikers, and here it's possible, as distances are generally short. Some routes are highly recommended due to their popularity, such as the Trapa trail, which ends with breathtaking views of Dragonera Island. There are also lesser-known routes where you can lose yourself in the tranquility of the forest.

Some of the world's most highly regarded wines come from the Mediterranean region. A wine tour or a visit to a vineyard is an ideal way to experience something different. It's fascinating and enriching to visit the vineyard, learn about the production process, explore the winery and discover the wine, participate in a tasting, and finally, take a bottle of wine home. This activity is highly valued by wine lovers, as it allows them to sample wines before buying them and also explore different regions of the island.

If you're passionate about the sea and want to enjoy it during even the shortest holidays, Mallorca is the perfect destination for you. The ideal spot is Pollensa Bay, home to one of the widest ranges of water sports on the island. Options include kitesurfing, windsurfing, kayaking, and jet skiing, among others. But if you truly crave a peaceful cruise, soaking up the atmosphere and scenery, and feeling the sea breeze, the best option is to book a trip on a "llaüt," the traditional Balearic Islands boat. A truly relaxing experience.

If you've decided to travel to Mallorca and it coincides with Holy Week, you're in luck, as it's the best time to enjoy the suggested activities. If, in addition to these activities, you'd also like to experience these days in a more traditional way, you can't miss some of the most popular events organized for this occasion. In Palma, the procession of the Holy Christ of the Blood and the Stations of the Cross take place, considered the most important events of Holy Week in the capital. The atmosphere is moving and solemn, thanks to the drums and music that accompany the statues, brotherhoods, and the faithful throughout the procession.
These are our suggestions for different plans for Mallorca in spring.

Lanzarote, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve since 1993, possesses a unique essence that transcends the typical sun and beach tourist destination. Here, topography, art, and culture intertwine to create a truly distinctive and recognizable aesthetic . Throughout the island, you'll find numerous house museums, monuments, and art centers that will delight your senses.

In this post we take a cultural tour of Lanzarote through some places where nature and man have created a special combination, and where the characteristic white of the typical Lanzarote buildings, the green of the endemic nature and the volcanic black, mix in a combination worthy of admiration.

César Manrique was one of the most important modern artists in the Canary Islands and, without a doubt, the most influential on the island of Lanzarote. His influence is evident in the numerous buildings and works he created on the island. One example is the house where he lived until the end of his life. The César Manrique House-Museum is an architectural masterpiece that speaks for itself and clearly demonstrates the artist's character and his penchant for integrating his creations with nature. Located in the north of the island, in the heart of the Haría palm grove, it is well worth a visit during your vacation.

Another architectural masterpiece in perfect harmony with nature is the Lagomar Museum, also known as the Omar Sharif House. Undoubtedly, the hand of César Manrique is evident; on this occasion, he collaborated with Jesús Soto on the design of this magnificent building. It is currently a private space housing a restaurant, a café, and an art gallery. Nestled within the remains of an old quarry in the village of Nazaret, in the heart of the island, its surroundings are absolutely breathtaking.

This space, comprising the House-Museum and a sculpture dedicated to fertility, recognizes the tireless work of Lanzarote's farmers, who had to contend with the most challenging conditions to cultivate such a demanding environment. A work by César Manrique, a visit offers a journey through the island's traditional way of life, showcasing agriculture, crafts, and gastronomy. It is one of the Canarian artist's most avant-garde works and is located in San Bartolomé, in the geographical center of Lanzarote.

This is the first art and culture center created and designed by the multifaceted César Manrique, and it is unequivocal proof that the harmony between nature and art would be one of the cornerstones of his architectural work. Jameos del Agua is located inside a volcanic tunnel formed by various eruptions and is a very important natural area from an ecological perspective. Inside, visitors can admire a natural lake, an auditorium, and a café-bar in an absolutely magical setting. A must-see, it is located in the municipality of Haría, in the north of the island.

Also known as the Malpaso Viewpoint, this architectural masterpiece is another must-see during your trip to Lanzarote. Designed by the Lanzarote architect Miguel Ángel Fontes, it follows the design established in 1966 when the original project began, culminating in what we know today. In the words of its creator, the building aims to "make architecture seek out the landscape, integrating and merging with it." The viewpoint is a marvel in every sense, offering panoramic views of the Haría palm grove and the Temisa Valley.

This tour of Lanzarote's most unique architecture is an invitation to enjoy your trip in a different way, closer to nature, closer to art, and closer to culture. We hope we've helped you decide on a different kind of getaway and get closer to the essence of the island through renowned artists, without sacrificing sun and sand tourism.
These are our suggestions for different plans for Mallorca in spring.

There are many reasons why traveling offers numerous benefits to personal well-being. Whether it's a business trip, a vacation getaway with family or a partner, or a long trip alone or with friends, traveling (planning for it, enjoying it, and remembering it) can make us happier people, allowing us to escape the daily grind and discover new cultures, places, people, and even ourselves. From the moment we plan our trip until we return home, a whole world of new experiences will remain in our memories like a gift.

In this post, we bring you some benefits that, taken together, make traveling much happier.

There's no doubt that, to stay active, our minds need activity, new challenges, changes, and discoveries that excite us. When we travel, we experience a series of positive, and sometimes inexplicable, emotions that we're unable to achieve in our daily lives because we're immersed in the daily grind. Therefore, generating these new emotions becomes important even after the trip is over, since when we recall a passage from our trip, we'll be able to recall that emotion again.

Sometimes we feel overwhelmed by our own routine. Worries, work, the very pace of the city we live in—these factors make it difficult to completely escape. At this point, we need that "break," that time for ourselves, that space of time that allows us to reconnect with ourselves. And by traveling, we achieve this. We're able to leave aside the daily grind, the stress, and the rush to give our brain a break, slow down, and return our body and mind to a more pleasant place where we feel much better.

Returning home, reuniting with friends or family, and sharing the details of our trip is another of the best experiences. And that's what we do when the adventure is over: we share our best photos, tell anecdotes, and reminisce about the funniest moments. We do all of this with special joy, because we come back with our batteries recharged, we feel good, we share it all, because sharing is reliving it.

The moment we think about it, we're already traveling, in a way. The process of planning and organizing brings us an immediate dose of happiness, but in a different way than what we experience once we arrive at our destination. As we do so, our imagination takes flight, imagining all the places we're going to visit, the flavors we want to try, and the sensations we want to experience.

No matter the destination, the length of time, or the company, traveling is a continuous learning process. A trip can provide us with many lessons, from historical knowledge about other cultures and ways of understanding life, to acquiring language skills, and even deeper insights into ourselves and the world around us. Learning is progress. Who doesn't feel better moving forward?

If you've reached this point via our website, you're probably thinking about taking a trip to one of our hotels in Fuerteventura, Lanzarote, or Mallorca. Whichever destination you choose, one thing you should know: never stop traveling!

Capturing the most beautiful spots while traveling has become a way of life. We can no longer visit a destination without our mobile phone or camera, much less without sharing it. Under hashtags like 'wanderlust' , 'lifestyle' , and 'travelgram' , the passion for showcasing remote places has massively taken over the unique platform of Instagram.

You've probably already decided to travel to Fuerteventura for a sunny, tropical vacation. You've likely also used social media to learn more about your chosen hotel or to get a first impression of the island's most incredible spots . We don't just look for information to plan your trip; we select those places where you can truly enjoy your time off and that are also worthy of being captured in photos.

At R2Hotels, we've decided to make it easy for you, and if you haven't yet discovered the amazing island of Fuerteventura, you might be interested in knowing where some of these places are.

The Barranco de las Peñitas and Arco de las Peñitas (Ravine and Arch of Las Peñitas) is one of the most beautiful and photogenic landscapes in Fuerteventura. It forms part of the Betancuria Rural Park Protected Natural Area and is located between two must-see towns on our trip: Betancuria and Ajuy. It's a stunning and unusual setting on an island known for its beautiful beaches. If you intend to reach the Arco de Las Peñitas, where you can take one of the most unique photos, you'll need to take a walk of approximately half an hour, so we recommend wearing appropriate footwear. Formed by wind erosion , it is undoubtedly one of those wonderful treasures that nature offers us.

Fuerteventura's long, winding roads offer ideal spots for those seeking unique landscapes. Finding them is easy. If you've planned a route to explore the island's main tourist attractions, you won't have to search for them; they'll appear along the way. Fuerteventura's incredible light will make things simple. Unleash your creativity to find the perfect perspectives and compositions for the best shot.

In La Oliva, nestled between the fishing village of Majanicho and the port of Corralejo, lies El Hierro Beach, one of the most visited and photographed spots on Fuerteventura. Better known as Popcorn Beach, it has gained immense popularity after going viral on social media. This beach boasts different types of sand: fine sand and another that, as the image shows, looks like popcorn! (Or, as we say in the Canary Islands, "roscas" or "cotufas"). It's nothing more than rhodoliths (calcareous algae). This unique feature has made this beach in the north of the island one of the most visited and most photographed. If you come here, please be responsible with the environment. Disrespectful practices have endangered this place in recent times. .

Cofete is one of the wildest, least developed, and largest beaches in the Canary Islands. Located in Jandía, in the south of Fuerteventura, it's a visual treat for landscape photography enthusiasts. Getting there isn't easy; you reach it via an 8.5-kilometer dirt track with some challenging but entirely manageable sections. A must-see stop before the end of the journey is the Cofete Viewpoint, where you can confidently take photos with your phone or camera. Once past this point, all that's left is to park and enjoy the breathtaking scenery, sharing this natural wonder on your social media.

The islet of Lobos boasts one of the most Instagrammed spots in the Canary Islands. Who hasn't seen the famous photo of Puertito de Lobos on their social media feeds? It's not on the island of Fuerteventura, and to get there you'll need to take a boat from Corralejo; the journey takes about 20 minutes. This is one of the must-have photos of your trip. Take out your camera, adjust the light, and find the best angle facing the wooden walkway. The crystal-clear waters, the contrast of the volcanic landscape, and the bluest sky you've ever seen will be the perfect ingredients for a photo that's sure to be a hit on social media.

We hope these points on the map help you explore this island, which is well worth discovering. And between excursions, you can also take the most Instagrammable photos in the surroundings, pool, or jacuzzi of any of our hotels in Fuerteventura.
We're waiting for you!

If we had to describe it in a single word, we would undoubtedly choose "diversity." Because Mallorca, the largest island in Spain, has it all: countless beaches and coves, incredible nature, unique gastronomy, history and culture, and a wide range of leisure activities to suit all tastes.

If you're thinking about traveling to the largest of the Balearic Islands with family, friends, or just a solo getaway, but you haven't decided yet, keep reading, because we'll give you the reasons you need to make up your mind and enjoy your next holiday in the Mediterranean.

Mallorca is the perfect destination for lovers of idyllic coves and beaches with white sand, crystal-clear waters, and a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. This, combined with the mild Mediterranean climate, makes for the perfect combination for a truly relaxing holiday in harmony with nature. Among the coves you absolutely mustn't miss is Cala Varques , nestled in an incredible natural setting surrounded by pine forests. One of the most important beaches is Cala Millor , on the east side of the island, stretching for almost two kilometers, with a promenade ideal for long walks at the end of the day. Any of our three hotels in this area (R2 Bahía Cala Ratjada, R2 Verónica Beach, and R2 Cala Millor Beach) will be the perfect finishing touch to a perfect holiday. Don't forget to visit Cala Deià , hidden among forests and cliffs, and Cala Formentor, spectacular for the color of its water.

Besides its coves, Mallorca is known for its diverse mountain landscapes and cliffs. One of these must-see spots is the Serra de Tramuntana mountain range, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Be mesmerized by the breathtaking views. Another essential stop on your visit to Mallorca is the Mondragó Natural Park, located in the municipality of Santanyí. This blend of pine forests and cliffs is one of the island's most popular destinations. Another absolute must is a visit to some of Mallorca's most beautiful villages, such as Valldemossa, Deià, Sóller, and Fornalutx. Finally, don't miss the Cave of Drach, one of the island's greatest attractions.

Mallorca is also a great city destination. In the capital, daily life blends seamlessly with the local culture and cuisine, offering visitors a truly complete holiday. The historic center is home to most of the must-see monuments, which can be explored during a pleasant stroll. The Plaza Mayor, the Church of Sant Miquel, the Cathedral of Palma (also known as the Cathedral of Light), and, of course, the Cathedral of the Sea (Cathedral del Mar), are just some of the monuments you can admire during the day while enjoying Mallorcan gastronomy. One essential specialty is sobrasada, a delicious sausage famous internationally, prepared here like nowhere else. You also can't miss Tumbet, a traditional dish made with seasonal vegetables from Mallorca's gardens, a true delight for the senses whether enjoyed as a side dish or on its own. If you're someone who saves room for dessert, don't forget to try ensaimadas and cocas, the star of Mallorcan pastry.

These are just some of the most important reasons that will make you decide to travel here this spring and summer. We've highlighted the most important ones, but they're not the only ones. We hope we've helped you make your decision, and we'll see you in Mallorca!

In Fuerteventura you will find paradise beaches, a volcanic landscape waiting to be discovered and a unique environment to practice all kinds of water sports: scuba diving, surfing, snorkeling… and for wind lovers: windsurfing and kitesurfing.

A few kilometers north of the island, on the west side, we find the Ajuy Caves. This is a much easier trail, about a 15-minute walk along the coast. These caves have been declared a Natural Monument, as the rocks that form them are among the oldest in the Canary Islands.

1h 15mins by car from R2 Romantic Fantasia Suites.

Finally, we mustn't forget the islet of Lobos. Off the coast of Corralejo, northeast of Fuerteventura, lies this idyllic deserted islet. There's a very easy trail, about 12 km long, that you can complete on foot in a total of 3-4 hours, ending with a swim in Puertito de Lobos.

The Islet is located just 2 kilometers from Corralejo, a mere 15-minute boat ride. Access to Lobos is by boat or water taxi, both of which can be booked in advance at the Corralejo port.

We invite you to explore the most beautiful corners of Fuerteventura and be amazed not only by its beaches but also by its many points of interest.

There are eleven routes available in total, and here we show you the first 3:

A 40-minute drive from R2 Kontiki Bay

This route is perfect if you want to explore the Charco de Bristol, a place of great scenic and floral value, which is where the trail connecting Corralejo and Majanicho begins. Continuing along the path, you'll reach Playa del Bajo de la Burra, a popular spot for fishermen and surfers, where a small hut stands out, surrounded by light sand that blends with the dark rocks. You'll pass a stone wall across the path, after which you'll arrive at Caleta del Bajo Mejillón, where plant species adapted to saline environments thrive on the rocky shore.

If you look to your left, you'll see three mountains, which from left to right are called Montaña de la Mancha, Montaña de la Raya, and Montaña Lomo Blanco. A kilometer further on, you'll find Caleta del Barco, a place steeped in the stories and legends of Fuerteventura, a small sandy beach where a solitary house stands out. After a short climb, and leaving Llano del Dinero to your left, continue for 2 kilometers until you reach the small fishing village of Majanicho, where this route ends.

1 hour and 15 minutes from R2 Romantic Fantasia Suites

Route 2 starts from Majanicho, a small fishing village located on the north coast of Fuerteventura. It heads south until it reaches an asphalt road and continues along it without deviating until it arrives at the area known as El Roque, formed by the Calderón Hondo and Montaña Colorada volcanoes.

Once you've covered the 5.5 kilometers separating you from Majanicho, you'll reach the vicinity of Montaña Colorada. After a slight bend, you'll enter the village of Lajares, and 1.3 kilometers later you'll arrive at the Municipal Football Field, where this route ends.

1 hour and 15 minutes from R2 Pájara Beach

The route begins in Majanicho, a small fishing village. Heading west, just a few meters from the village, you'll discover one of the several salt flats along the way. Continue towards Caleta del Hierro and follow the coast to Punta de la Seba. Proceed along the coast for approximately 7 kilometers, passing a series of interconnected beaches; some of them form natural lagoons perfect for swimming. Once you reach the last beach, you'll see another small salt flat and come to a crossroads.

Upon reaching the lighthouse, turn left and follow that path until you reach an asphalt road. Continue along this road for approximately one kilometer until you reach a roundabout. Straight ahead, about 750 meters further on, you will reach another crossroads. The left-hand road leads to the fishing village of El Cotillo. Continue south until you reach another crossroads. Turn left onto Calle El Faro, which will take you to the El Cotillo Municipal Stadium, where this route ends.

If you're a wine lover and enjoy savoring a good wine, we recommend visiting the wine route in La Geria (Lanzarote).

During this tour, you'll learn about the techniques and system of grape cultivation in volcanic soil, discover several types of grapes, such as the volcanic Malvasia, and lose yourself in over 2,000 hectares of vineyards. There are also two different routes to enjoy this experience.

What's more, you'll not only learn about the crops and fall in love with the landscapes. You'll also be able to delight your palate by stopping at some of the wineries along the route to taste the exquisite wines produced in Lanzarote. Some wineries you'll find along the route include Bodega Rubicón, Bodega La Geria, Bodega El Grifo, and more.

For all this and much more, we encourage you to take part in this wine experience and discover a different side of Lanzarote.
