Alua Village Fuerteventura - All Inclusive

If your ideal dive holiday includes a proper breakfast, a cool room, a swim and no need to discuss the evening meal, Alua Village Fuerteventura - All Inclusive is built around that sort of day. This is a four-star resort in Playa Jandia, with an all-inclusive formula, a large outdoor pool and a beach of golden sand just 50 metres away.

English, German, Spanish and French are spoken by the hotel team. That matters when you are checking a meal arrangement, asking about a late arrival or trying to explain that the last thing you want after a long day in the water is a complicated conversation. The resort also has family rooms, a kids' club for children aged 4 to 12 and evening entertainment, so the atmosphere is likely to suit mixed-age holidays better than a small adults-only address.

The address is in Playa Jandia, on the south of Fuerteventura, with Esquinzo Beach about 50 metres away. That is the useful sort of distance: a short walk from your room to sand, sea and a change of scenery, without having to turn the beach into a day trip. Boca de Esquinzo Beach is about 0.7 miles away on foot, while Tierra Dorada Beach is roughly 1.7 miles away.

You are not planted in the middle of town. Jandia is about 3.5 miles away, and the nearest named restaurant, Restaurante Marabú, is around 1,400 feet away on foot. Bar Safari is about 2,500 feet away. Fuerteventura Airport is roughly 45 miles away by road, with the journey taking about 58 minutes by car. The local area is therefore well suited to a resort-based stay, with a few alternatives nearby and the wider Jandia area within reach.

The room choice is less about collecting categories and more about deciding how much space and which view will make your evenings easier. Standard rooms work for a couple who want a straightforward base, while the sea-view versions give you something to look at besides the dive computer charging on the desk. Balconies, outdoor furniture and a drying rack for clothing help keep wet-weather realities away from the bed.

Travelling as three? The standard double rooms use two single beds and a sofa bed, which gives the sleeping arrangement a clear practical logic. For more room to spread out, a sea-view suite adds a separate suite layout and more floor space; the larger suite option can accommodate four. The cards below give the exact dimensions, capacity and bedding for each category, so the useful question here is simply whether you want compact and functional or roomier and more scenic.

Air conditioning is welcome when you return warm, salty and ready to stop moving. Rooms also have a private bathroom, free WiFi, a wardrobe, a seating area and a desk, with daily housekeeping. A minibar is available, along with a flat-screen TV and satellite channels. The sea-view rooms and suites are the obvious choices for couples who expect to spend some time on the balcony rather than treating it as a place to store a towel.

All-inclusive is the central idea here, with food organised around three restaurants. The Buffet Restaurant covers breakfast, lunch and dinner with international dishes, while the outdoor Snack Restaurant handles lighter food at lunch and dinner. It is the sort of arrangement that suits divers who do not all return from the water at the same level of hunger.

Breakfast is served buffet-style, with continental, American and full English or Irish options. That gives you room to choose between something restrained and something substantial before a boat day. Special-diet menus are available on request, and the resort also has a kid-friendly buffet for family stays.

There are two bars. The Pool Bar brings cocktails and drinks to the pool area, while the Lobby Bar gives you an indoor place to sit when the sun has done enough for one day. A snack bar and minibar add further options, although the available details do not establish a continuous snack service or late dinner. In plain terms: the main meals are well covered, but you should not assume a midnight kitchen is waiting for you.

The main outdoor feature is a year-round swimming pool with an integrated bar. It is not heated, but it gives you an easy alternative to the sea when you want a few lengths without organising anything. Sun loungers, umbrellas, a sun terrace, gardens and pool or beach towels make it possible to spend an afternoon doing very little, which is a perfectly respectable post-dive activity.

For a more deliberate recovery session, the wellness facilities include a sauna, hot tub, relaxation area and fitness centre. Yoga and fitness classes are available, and the treatment menu covers facial and body treatments alongside head, neck, back, foot, hand, full-body and couples massages. The last option is particularly handy when both of you have returned from the water with shoulders that have begun filing formal complaints.

There is plenty for families away from the pool as well: a kids' club, children's outdoor play equipment, an indoor play area, games room, water slide and children's playground. Live music and evening entertainment provide a reason to stay up after dinner, while the fitness centre and solarium give you alternatives to another afternoon on a lounger.

Check-in starts at 15:00 and check-out is by 12:00. You need photo identification and a credit card at check-in, and the hotel asks you to provide your expected arrival time in advance. A 24-hour reception, luggage storage and an on-site cash machine are useful when flights and hotel timings refuse to behave sensibly.

Fuerteventura Airport is about 45 miles away by road. An airport transfer service is not listed among the hotel facilities, so you should arrange your onward transport separately. Nearby public parking is available, although parking arrangements sit outside the all-inclusive formula. Free WiFi covers the hotel, and lifts, wheelchair access, a lower bathroom sink and toilets with grab rails are available.

Children of all ages are welcome. Cots and extra beds for children can be requested, with availability depending on the selected room; the accommodation policy also states that there are no extra beds available at the property, so you should check the exact room arrangement before booking for a child. Dogs up to 10 kg are accepted on request, with one dog permitted per room. Cash is accepted, and cancellation conditions vary by accommodation type.
