Pajara covers much of the sunny southern end of Fuerteventura, including the Jandia area, and it is a long-standing favourite for UK visitors seeking Canary Island warmth. Endless golden beaches, reliable sunshine and a relaxed feel make it ideal for families and couples.

Fuerteventura is famous for its sand and its laid-back mood, and Pajara has both in abundance.

Where to stay in Pajara

ROBINSON ESQUINZO PLAYA is a four-star beachfront resort in Esquinzo, and the Fuerteventura Princess Hotel is a four-star beachfront resort in Playa Esquinzo.

Getting there and when to go

Fuerteventura is well connected to the UK, with Pajara a transfer from the island's airport to the south. The Canaries enjoy warm, sunny weather all year, so Pajara works just as well for winter sun as it does for summer beach holidays.

Beaches and resorts

This part of Fuerteventura is known for vast stretches of golden sand and clear Atlantic water, with gently shelving beaches that suit families. Steady breezes also make the area popular for watersports.

Food and things to do

Local dining offers Canarian dishes, fresh fish and familiar holiday menus. Beyond the beach you can enjoy watersports, coastal walks and easy excursions, with a relaxed rather than raucous evening scene.

Who it suits

Pajara suits families wanting big sandy beaches, couples after year-round sun, and anyone keen on watersports. It is relaxed and spacious rather than crowded, which is much of its charm.
