AVANTI Lifestyle Hotel - Only Adults

Adults only, small in scale and facing the beach, AVANTI Lifestyle Hotel suits you if your ideal base is more about stepping outside into Corralejo than hiding behind a resort gate. The hotel has 14 rooms, a white-and-turquoise minimalist style and a rooftop where you can swap dive talk for an ocean view, a drink or a soak in the hot tub.

You are staying in a four-star hotel built for couples and two-person trips, with the old town immediately around you. The hotel website is available in English, Spanish, German, French and Italian, so the booking journey is well set up for an international stay. Children over 16 are welcome, keeping the atmosphere firmly adult without turning the place into a silent monastery.

The address is Delfín 1, on Avenida Marítima de Corralejo, in Corralejo, Spain. The hotel stands opposite Corralejo Beach, right in the old town rather than on the outskirts. A few steps take you to Tropical Bar Rosi, and Mojito Beach Bar and The Juke Box are also roughly 50 feet away. For dinner away from the hotel, Lumos, Blue Pizza and King Doner Kebab are at about the same short distance.

Corralejo Viejo Beach is around 0.15 miles away on foot, while Las Clavellinas Beach is about 0.45 miles away. Corralejo Nature Reserve lies within 2 miles, giving you an easy change of scenery when you have had enough of town streets and sea views. Fuerteventura Airport is about 18 miles away, with a drive of under 45 minutes.

Every room is designed for two, so this is a straightforward choice for a couple rather than a base for a larger group. Choose a sea-view room when the Atlantic matters more than floor space. If you want somewhere to sit outside with the horizon in front of you, the terrace categories make more sense; the penthouse goes further with a private terrace and a front sea view.

The room categories vary considerably in size, from compact doubles to more generous superior rooms and the penthouse. That difference matters when wet bags, clothes and the usual post-dive clutter begin to colonise the floor. The larger terrace rooms and the penthouse give you more room to spread out, while the smaller double is best kept for a trip where you travel light and spend most of the day outdoors.

Air conditioning is useful when the island has done its best to warm you through, while soundproofing helps separate your night from the life of the old town. Rooms also include a refrigerator, coffee machine, electric kettle, flat-screen TV and free WiFi. A mosquito net, wardrobe, slippers, bathrobe and private bathroom cover the practical end of the stay; selected categories add a balcony, terrace or a larger bed.

Rompeolas is the hotel restaurant, with breakfast, lunch and dinner served under the same roof. Its cooking is Spanish, with seafood, paella and fish dishes at the centre of the menu, alongside fresh local products. The restaurant is family-owned, with every member of the family involved in the business. That gives the dining room a clear identity, rather than the anonymous buffet routine that can make one meal blur into the next.

Breakfast comes in continental, Full English/Irish and buffet formats. It is the useful sort of morning choice: enough range to suit an early start or a slower day, without requiring you to leave the building in search of food. For lunch or dinner, you can stay with the Spanish focus and order from the seafood-led menu.

There is also a rooftop bar and restaurant, plus a lounge on the terrace with ocean views. The arrangement gives you two distinct ways to end the day: sit down properly at Rompeolas, or head upwards for a drink and the sea spread out beyond the rooftops. If the appetite is still working overtime, several bars and restaurants are only a few dozen feet away.

The rooftop is the main place to slow down. You have a solarium, outdoor furniture and a hot tub, with the terrace giving you room to sit in the sun without having to organise an excursion. El Cielo adds massage when your shoulders have had enough of carrying the day around.

Outside the hotel, the beach is directly in front of you and Corralejo offers plenty to do without turning every hour into a project. You can hire a bicycle, go cycling or hiking, or arrange snorkelling, horse riding and windsurfing. A golf course lies within 2 miles. For an adults-only stay, the appeal is simple: you can choose movement, sea air or a rooftop seat, and stop before it becomes another appointment.

Fuerteventura Airport is about 18 miles from the hotel. An airport shuttle and a shuttle service are available, and you can also arrange car hire through the hotel. If you are driving, factor in the town-centre setting when planning your arrival. The hotel has a 24-hour front desk, lift access to upper floors, concierge service, a tour desk and luggage storage, which is useful when your travel times do not line up neatly with your room.

Check-in starts from 15:00 and you should tell the hotel your expected arrival time in advance. Check-out runs until 12:00, giving you a little breathing space on departure day. Private and express check-in and check-out are available, as is daily housekeeping. WiFi is free throughout the hotel, and rooms have air conditioning, heating, a laptop safe and a wake-up service. The hotel is non-smoking, and pets are not allowed.
