Fuerteventura, Canary Islands

Fuerteventura, particularly Corralejo and El Cotillo, attracts many remote workers and surf enthusiasts. The overall vibe is chill and social, with a strong focus on outdoor activities like surfing, kitesurfing, yoga, and hiking. It’s a good destination for people who enjoy an active lifestyle and don’t mind small beach town living. El Cotillo offers a quieter, more village-like atmosphere, while Corralejo feels more touristy but still friendly and lively. The local people are welcoming, and food options are varied and well-regarded. Renting a car is helpful to explore the island fully as distances can be long and public transport is limited.

However, the wind can be a downside, making evenings cool and reducing beach comfort on some days. The coworking scene is mixed – while some people enjoyed the spaces, others found them lacking atmosphere and not well run. It’s also worth noting that if you’re not into watersports or yoga, there aren’t many other activities to keep you engaged long-term. Overall, it’s a niche but enjoyable spot best suited to those with active and outdoor-focused interests.
