Along the sweeping sands of Jandía beach in Fuerteventura, you’ll find dunes, crystal-clear lagoons and breathtaking views of the nearby mountains in Jandía National Park. And more recently, you’ll also find the newly renovated five-star Iberostar Selection Fuerteventura Palace, a wellbeing-focused resort inspired by the tranquillity of the ocean. With a 148-year heritage and family-run ethos, Iberostar Group hotels have a distinguished (and enduring) reputation.
As an industry leader (the brand was officially founded in 1956 but has beginnings stretching back to 1877), its USP is sustainability – for example, Iberostar hotels don’t use single-use plastic anywhere on-site. The reimagined Iberostar Selection Fuerteventura Palace is no exception.
Located in the Canary Islands, a Spanish archipelago off the coast of northwestern Africa, Fuerteventura’s landscapes have served as both muse and material for the hotel’s latest transformation. With half-board and all-inclusive stays available, here’s what you can expect…
A resort inspired by nature
Alongside walls painted in sandy, terracotta and green tones that echo the island’s plants and habitats, deep ocean blues flow throughout the interiors of Iberostar Selection Fuerteventura Palace. The design philosophy is unmistakable: nature isn’t a backdrop, but at the very heart of its experience.
Art also plays a defining role in its vibe. The hotel’s 437 rooms are adorned with exclusive murals by Spanish artist Anna Ruiz, who captures Fuerteventura’s identity through the vivid greens of its landscapes and the flowing blues of the surrounding ocean. Plus, expect crisp white bed sheets, wicker furniture and wooden feature wall headboards.
Beyond the personal rooms, wellness is infused in every corner of the resort: four serene outdoor pools, homegrown aloe vera treatments at the on-site spa, Spa Sensations, exclusive Star Prestige areas and a fitness suite available to all guests throughout their stay.
A seafront wellness retreat
Guests at the newly refurbished hotel can immerse themselves in the unhurried pace of island life on Fuerteventura, with an emphasis on wellness. Expect sunrise beach yoga, guided walks along the Jandía coast and art workshops using natural materials. Aloe vera is also weaved throughout the hotel, featuring as decorations and as an ingredient for spa treatments.
Iberostar Selection Fuerteventura Palace is heaven for food lovers in particular. The three on-site restaurants and three bars echo the hotel’s wider connection to the sea. El Saladar buffet offers a taste of local specialties like award-winning Teguerey Olive Oil and regional cheeses, whilst Star Café serves 24-hour treats and specialty coffees.
Then there’s alMar restaurant and the Beach Social Lounge, which embrace ocean-inspired cuisine with a prime setting right on the waterfront. But for something totally different, there’s Tsukiji Teppanyaki – the island’s only teppanyaki restaurant (a Japanese concept where chefs cook on a large iron pan in front of diners) that delivers theatrical flavour through local ingredients.
Championing eco-luxury
Sustainability anchors Iberostar Selection Fuerteventura Palace’s philosophy. The resort runs on 100% renewable electricity, supports responsible fishing and participates in pioneering recycling and organic-waste initiatives in collaboration with local partners.
This environmental stewardship aligns with its broader Iberostar Wave of Change movement, Iberostar’s long-term commitment to responsible tourism, and caring for people and the planet. In short, when you stay at Iberostar Selection Fuerteventura Palace, sustainability is not an add-on, but rather a defining feature of your holiday. Perfect if you’re in search of eco-luxury.
