Alua Suites Fuerteventura
Alua Suites Fuerteventura is a large 4-star all-inclusive on the northern tip of Fuerteventura, on the edge of Corralejo where the town meets the dunes of the Natural Park. Its 383 suites spread low across landscaped grounds, with a cluster of pools, a children's club for fours to twelves, a gated adults-only section for couples and a sandy beach 50 m from reception.

Is it worth it?
The quick read before the detail: who Alua Suites suits, the two sides of the resort and the facts to skim first.
Alua Suites Fuerteventura is a large all-inclusive on the northern edge of Corralejo, and it works as two holidays sharing one address. At one end are the family pools, the playground and the Astro Club for fours to twelves; at the other is a gated adults-only section called My Favourite Club, with its own pools, restaurant and quieter service that couples pay a supplement to use. Knowing which of those you're buying matters more here than at most resorts. For families with primary-school-age children it's a busy, sociable base with a lot included and Corralejo town a short walk away. Reviews are split on the food and on room condition, so that's the thing to weigh: some guests eat well and rate the place highly, others find the buffet repetitive and their room dated. The animation team and the kids club, though, draw praise almost across the board.
Best for
You've children aged four to twelve and want plenty going on, you're travelling as a big multi-generational group or you're a couple happy to pay for the adults-only My Favourite Club.
Maybe not for
You've a baby or under-four who needs a creche or baby kit, you put food quality above almost everything or you expect five-star consistency throughout.
Best ages
Four to twelve for the kids club. Nought to three works with realistic expectations, since there's no structured club below four.
What stands out
The cluster of pools for different ages, an animation team families single out, roomy two-bedroom suites and Corralejo on the doorstep.
What to check
How close your suite is to the pools, whether a pool is heated if you're visiting November to April and babysitting availability before you rely on it.
Where is it?
Northern Fuerteventura, on the edge of Corralejo by the dune park, about 35 minutes from the airport.
Quick facts for families
What the resort is like
Where Alua Suites sits, how the large site is laid out and the split between the family end and the adults-only club.
Alua Suites sits on the eastern edge of Corralejo, the busy resort town at the northern tip of Fuerteventura in Spain's Canary Islands, right where the streets give way to the Corralejo Dunes Natural Park. The address, Calle Las Dunas s/n, 35660 Corralejo, in the municipality of La Oliva, puts it at the quieter residential end rather than by the harbour and the market. It's a 4-star all-inclusive resort of 383 suites, spread low across 23 blocks over roughly 50,400 m² of grounds, so it reads as spacious rather than high-rise.
The layout matters for a family. The family facilities, the main pools, the children's pools, the playground and the Astro Club, sit together at one end, while the adults-only My Favourite Club is gated off at the other, a separate section for guests aged sixteen and over. The nearest beach, Playa Vista Lobos, is right in front of the resort. There are no golf buggies or internal shuttles, so you get around on foot along the garden paths.
The Alua name is now part of Hyatt's Inclusive Collection, which means you can earn and redeem World of Hyatt loyalty points on a stay here. The resort also carries a Rating.Bio sustainability listing, shown on some booking sites.
Rooms and suites
Every category with its official size, which suit a family with a baby or toddler and what the adults-only club adds.
Every room here is called a suite, and there are five types. The table below is the full line-up with the official sizes; the guidance after it is which suit a family with young children.
| Suite | Size | Sleeps | Layout |
|---|---|---|---|
| Junior Suite, garden view | 42 m² | 3 adults + 1 child | Open-plan, with a sofa bed in the main room |
| Junior Suite, pool view | 42 m² | 3 adults + 1 child | Open-plan, same layout with a pool aspect |
| Suite 1 Bedroom | 45 m² | 3 adults + 1 child | Sliding door between the bedroom and the sofa-bed lounge |
| Suite 2 Bedrooms | 53 m² | 4 adults + 1 child | Two separate bedrooms plus a lounge |
| Junior Suite My Favourite Club | 42 m² | 3 adults (16+) | Same footprint, in the adults-only club section |
The two Junior Suites, garden view and pool view, are both 42 m² and open-plan, which means the sofa bed shares the same space as the main bed. They're fine for a couple with one small child who sleeps through noise, but harder work for an early baby bedtime. The Suite 1 Bedroom at 45 m² adds a sliding door between the bedroom and the sofa-bed lounge, so you get a wall to close on a napping child. The Suite 2 Bedrooms at 53 m² works best for most families: two separate bedrooms and a lounge, room for everyone and early bedtimes without tiptoeing. It's listed as sleeping four adults plus one child, and an infant in a cot isn't counted in that total, so if you need a cot on top of the stated occupancy, confirm it fits when you book.
Every suite has air conditioning, free Wi-Fi, a flat-screen satellite TV with UK channels, a mini fridge, a kettle, a hairdryer, a make-up mirror, a safe and a furnished balcony or terrace. Check-in is from 15:00 and check-out by 12:00. The resort is large, and some blocks sit a good walk from the pools and restaurants. One family given a two-bedroom suite as an upgrade found themselves a long way from everything, so if small children or mobility are a factor it's worth asking to be near the family pool area when you book. Ground-floor terrace suites are available too, which reviewers with pushchairs found handy.
What My Favourite Club adds
My Favourite Club is the resort's adults-only upgrade, a gated section for guests aged sixteen and over. The Junior Suite there is the same 42 m² footprint as the standard one, so you're paying for the service and the setting rather than more space. It adds a Nespresso machine and bottled water topped up daily, a welcome minibar and a bottle of wine, a pillow menu, a Smart TV, a robe and slippers, private check-in, reserved areas in the main restaurants and its own lounge, restaurant and two quieter pools. Early check-in and late check-out are advertised as perks but come subject to availability: one guest was turned down for a late check-out when the hotel was full, so it isn't something to build travel plans around. None of it applies if you're travelling with children under sixteen. One booking site also lists a "Superior Junior Suite", but that isn't a separate Hyatt category.
Every restaurant and bar
What the all-inclusive covers, each place to eat and how the one included à la carte dinner works.
The all-inclusive board covers three buffet meals a day at Terra Café, one à la carte dinner a week at Mare Nubium, poolside snacks and drinks at the Kentia Pool Club and local wine, beer, spirits and soft drinks. Afternoon tea and ice cream appear between meals, with snacks available at least three hours a day. Drinks are served from 11:00 to 23:00, and San Miguel beer and Gordon's gin are among the included brands. There are five dining venues in all, two of them inside the adults-only club.
Terra Café is the main buffet and where you'll eat most meals. Breakfast runs 07:30 to 10:30, lunch 13:00 to 15:00 and dinner 19:00 to 22:00, with show cooking at dinner and themed evenings through the week. There's a healthy corner and vegetarian and other dietary options at lunch, plus a children's menu. High chairs are on hand and staff greet families at the door and help find seats, which parents travelling with babies mention warmly.
Kentia Pool Club does poolside snacks and drinks beside the main pool, 10:30 to 17:00 in winter and 10:30 to 18:00 in summer. The burgers and pasta are reliable, but the menu is much the same each day, so it can wear thin over a long stay.
Mare Nubium is the à la carte restaurant, open for dinner 19:00 to 21:30 in winter and 19:00 to 22:00 in summer, in a calmer setting than the buffet. One dinner a week is included in your package and you need to reserve it, so book your slot at reception when you arrive if you want to use it. Guests who do generally enjoy it.
My Favourite Club holds the other two venues, for guests sixteen and over only. The club lounge serves a continental breakfast from 08:30 to 11:00 and a salad and snack buffet from 11:00 to 22:00, and the club restaurant does a set menu and premium buffet at dinner, 19:00 to 21:30. Club guests tend to eat there most evenings.
Several bars are dotted around the resort. Cocktails at the main bars are mostly batch-made rather than mixed to order, which one recent guest noticed but still rated as strong and drinkable. These are the four families will use or pass most:
| Bar | Where | Hours | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Aqua Bar | Lobby | 17:00–23:00 | Coffee, cocktails and wine |
| Tropic Bar | By the main pools | 11:00–18:00 | Daytime poolside drinks |
| Bar Plaza | Entertainment area | 18:30–midnight | After-dinner drinks, live music some nights |
| My Favourite Club Bar | Adults-only club | Club hours | Cocktails, club guests only |
Pools and water
The cluster of pools and who each is for, what's heated and the beach out front with its free shuttle to calmer sand.
The resort has a cluster of outdoor pools rather than one big pool, set up for different ages and moods, so it's most useful to go by what each one is for.
The main activity pool is the daytime hub, where the animation team runs water polo, aqua aerobics and the like. Alongside it are a tropical pool and a separate relaxation pool for quieter swimming, both open to all guests. Near the Astro Club at the family end are two shallow pools for the youngest: a children's pool and, separate from it, an even shallower infant paddling pool. Both are heated.
Inside the gated adults-only My Favourite Club are two more pools for guests sixteen and over, a quiet main club pool and a Sensations pool with hydromassage loungers. There's also a pool in the adults-only wellness area.
The infant pool is a shallow paddling area; if your baby needs a particular depth, ask the hotel when you book. There's no waterslide or splash park here; the "splash pool" you'll see in some listings is that infant paddling pool. The Sensations pool in the club is heated from November to April, and the children's and infant pools are heated too. The main pools aren't listed as heated, so plan for their temperature to follow the weather. Sunbeds and umbrellas are at every pool; by the main pool they get competitive at peak times, while the club pools stay quiet with plenty of loungers and Bali beds. The towel exchange point is over in the main resort, which club guests find a fair walk from their end.
The beach
Playa Vista Lobos, a sandy beach, is 50 m from reception at ground level, with a direct path down. This is an open Atlantic beach of white and golden sand, not a sheltered bay, so it's exposed to the north-east trade winds that build through the afternoon and blow hardest from June to August.
For calmer water with young children, the hotel runs a free shuttle to Grandes Playas, the long dune beach one to two kilometres away inside the Natural Park: 3.5 km of sand with lifeguards, and it held Blue Flag status in 2024. The mornings there are calmer before the wind gets up. The shuttle's timetable isn't published, so check it at check-in. For the calmest water of all, the lagoon beach at El Cotillo, a 30-minute drive west, is the gentlest option for babies and toddlers.
Flag Beach, 2.6 km away, is a kitesurfing and windsurfing beach, good to watch but too windy and choppy for small children to swim. The coastal path from the hotel into Corralejo town was rough and partly under construction in spring 2026, so take care with a pushchair on that route for now.
Babies and toddlers
What's there for under-fours, and the Astro Club and playground once children turn four.
There's no creche or supervised club for children under four here. The Astro Club starts at four, so for babies and toddlers you carry more of the childcare yourself than you would at a resort built around the under-threes. Babysitting is available for an extra charge and subject to availability, arranged through the resort rather than run as a staffed creche, so ask on site if you need it.
What is there for the youngest: the shallow infant paddling pool, high chairs in Terra Café with staff who help seat families, children's menus in the buffet and cots on request. Cots are available on request and may carry a charge, so ask when you book. There's no named baby-kit package of the sort some family resorts offer, so bottle warmers, baby baths and the like aren't provided; what you get is cots and high chairs. For supplies, there's a supermarket a short walk from the resort and more shops in Corralejo town, so baby food and formula are easy enough to buy; bring any specific brand your child needs from home. Families with under-fours generally find the resort manageable on its pools, beach and room layouts, though the structured support for that age is lighter than at a baby-specialist resort.
Included for four to twelvesKids clubs and children's programme
The children's programme is called the Astro Club, and it's included in the all-inclusive price for ages four to twelve. It splits into a Mini Club for fours to sixes and a Kids Club for sevens to twelves. The younger group does arts and crafts, games, sports, water activities, story time, baking, drama and kids' yoga; the older group does much the same, with team games and music. Sessions run six days a week, morning and afternoon, with one day off. A mini disco runs most evenings.
The club has its own space at the family end of the resort, with the children's pool alongside, and there's a fenced playground with swings, a seesaw, a climbing frame and slides in a shaded spot, one to supervise. The club draws consistent praise: parents rate the animation team, and some children ask to go back every day. There's no teens club, so thirteens and over use the adult sports and entertainment programme.
Things to do
The sports, spa and evening programme on site, and the days out around Corralejo and the wider island.
Plenty is included in the day. The animation team runs aerobics and aqua aerobics, yoga, pilates, group circuit sessions, dance, water polo, beach volleyball, mini-basketball, table tennis, shuffleboard, darts, pétanque and organised hikes, with bike and mountain-bike hire too. Three tennis courts are on site. Some activities cost extra, mostly the beach-based ones: scuba diving, surfing, paddleboarding, horse riding, fishing and snorkelling, along with on-site help arranging car hire.
Evenings bring a full programme too. The show changes night to night rather than repeating on a loop, something reviewers mention often as a plus if you're staying a week or more, and live music plays at Bar Plaza on some nights, with acts such as Bayside having featured on past line-ups. The same animation team that runs the daytime activities and the Astro Club carries the evening shows, and guests consistently rate them for holding the attention of children and adults alike.
The spa and wellness area is adults-only, open to guests sixteen and over, and it includes free use of two saunas, a Turkish bath, sensory showers, a wellness pool and the gym, on roughly morning and late-afternoon hours. Massages, including Ayurvedic, along with facials, body scrubs and manicures and pedicures at the beauty salon, cost extra. The gym has treadmills, spin bikes, an elliptical and weights; one guest a couple of years back found it tired, with poor air conditioning and awkward hours, opening in the morning and closing in the afternoon and shut on Sundays.
Off resortThe area and days out
Corralejo town centre is about 1 mile (1.5 km) away, reachable on foot along the beach path or the road, or by bus from a stop 300 m from the hotel. It has a harbour, a craft market, restaurants and bars, a small play area and ice cream by the water. Views on the town's dining are mixed: some write off the harbour-front bars as generic tourist spots, while Bar Gilda comes up again and again for tapas. The Corralejo dune park is right next to the hotel and walkable, though loose sand makes a pushchair hard going, so a carrier is easier.
Acua Water Park, on the edge of Corralejo, has a lazy river, a toddler splash zone and slides; it runs from late March to early November, lets under-fours in free and closes on Wednesdays and Thursdays in the quieter months. El Cotillo, a 30-minute drive west, has the calm, shallow lagoon of Concha beach that suits babies and toddlers best. Isla de Lobos is a 15-minute ferry from Corralejo, good for snorkelling and walking trails with older, walking children, and it needs a free permit booked in advance. Oasis Wildlife Park at La Lajita, about an hour and a quarter to an hour and a half south, has giraffes, elephants and camels and takes children from 18 months, with under-fours free, though the camel rides aren't for under-fives and it's a long day out. Puerto del Rosario, the island capital 30 minutes away, has an escape room and go-kart track for sixes and over and a trail of street sculptures.

Loves and gripes
What guests rate and what frustrated them, and how it sits against the other Fuerteventura family resorts.
Across the review sites the resort sits at a solid, middling-to-good level. TripAdvisor gives it 4 out of 5 from around 8,900 reviews, ranking it 48th of 156 Corralejo hotels; Booking.com has it at 8.0 out of 10 from 165 reviews, Trip.com at 8.2 from 41 reviews and a local aggregator at 8.0 from around 500 reviews. Booking.com's own subscores show staff as the standout at 8.7, location and cleanliness both at 8.5, comfort at 8.4, facilities at 8.1, Wi-Fi at 7.5 and value for money the lowest at 7.9. MadeForMums names it their best Fuerteventura hotel for large family groups. Reviews are split on food and on room cleanliness, so expect the experience to vary rather than one settled verdict.
What families love
- The staff and animation team, the strongest and most consistent praise.
- The family room layouts, with separate bedrooms and sliding doors.
- The choice of pools, so there's usually a quiet spot.

- The varied, nightly-changing evening entertainment.
- The Astro Club for four to twelves.
- The My Favourite Club upgrade, for couples who take it.
- The cleanliness of the grounds.
Common gripes
- Food that some find repetitive, and tepid at peak times.
- Some rooms showing their age.
- Pool temperatures that vary through the year.
- Competition for sunbeds by the main pool.
- The towel exchange a walk from the club end.
- No mobility ramp into the main activity pool.
- Value for money, the lowest-rated aspect.
- The rough beach path into town.
How it compares
Alua Village Fuerteventura, its sister on the south coast at Esquinzo, is smaller and quieter and suits couples; the Suites is the family choice of the two. Barceló Corralejo Sands, also in Corralejo, has a pirate-ship splash feature and a teen club and sits closer to the town centre, and it ranks higher on TripAdvisor, while Alua Suites has more pools and a bigger site. For babies and under-threes, Elba Castillo San Jorge over in Caleta de Fuste leads on dedicated baby kit; Alua Suites is the stronger choice once children are four and up and want more going on. The five-star Sheraton Fuerteventura, nearer the airport, has a more structured kids' club, though Alua Suites is broader, with more pools and stronger animation. H10 Tindaya down in Costa Calma has a dedicated splash park and the Sotavento beach, while Alua Suites is better placed for the town and the dune park and has roomier suites.
Getting there and when to go
The transfer from the airport, the best months for young children and the Corralejo wind to factor in.
Fuerteventura's airport (FUE) is about 22 miles (35 km) from Corralejo, roughly a 35 to 40 minute drive, with shared coach transfers and private taxis both available. Child seats aren't guaranteed on arrival, so request one from your transfer provider in advance. Flights run direct year-round from major UK airports, taking about 4 hours 15 minutes from London and around 4 hours 50 minutes from Manchester or Edinburgh.
For families with young children the best stretch is September to November, when the sea is at its warmest, around 22 to 23°C, and the trade winds ease off after the summer. February half-term is mild at about 21°C with very little rain and lighter winds than the other Canaries, but the sea is around 18°C, so that's a pool rather than a sea holiday. Summer is hottest but windiest, with the trade wind building every afternoon; winter is mild but the sea is at its coolest. The sea sits at 18°C through winter and spring and climbs to 22 to 23°C in September and October, so in the cooler months plan to swim in the pool.
One thing to know about Corralejo: it's at the exposed northern tip of the island and catches more of the north-east trade wind than the calmer south-coast resorts. That's the trade-off for having the town and the dune park on the doorstep. The hotel's own pools are sheltered within the grounds; it's the open beach that feels the wind in the afternoon.

Typical monthly averages from weather-station records. Sea temperature is the open-water figure, so a sheltered bay can feel a degree or two warmer. The resort is open year-round.
Good to know
Shops and supplies, healthcare, entry rules and getting around the site with a pushchair.
There's a small shop on site for basics, but don't count on it for nappies or formula. For those, the Hiperdino supermarket is a short walk along the hotel's street, with more supermarkets and pharmacies in Corralejo town about 1 mile (1.5 km) away.
For healthcare, a UK GHIC or EHIC covers state medical care in Spain on the same terms as Spanish residents, though it doesn't cover repatriation, so travel insurance is still essential. The nearest hospital, Hospital General de Fuerteventura, is in the capital, Puerto del Rosario, about 30 minutes away, with a health centre in Corralejo for minor matters.
There's no FCDO advisory against travel to Spain or the Canaries. You'll need a passport valid for your stay and can visit for up to 90 days in any 180 without a visa. The EU's ETIAS travel authorisation was in the process of coming in, so check the current entry rules at gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/spain before you travel.
Getting around the site is on foot; there are no golf-buggy shuttles of the sort some larger Canaries resorts run. Pushchairs are fine on the level garden paths between the low-rise blocks, though distances can be long and the adults-only club is gated off at one end. Accessible rooms with grab rails, roll-in showers and lower sinks can be requested in advance, and wheelchair access around the resort is confirmed. One thing to flag for step-free swimming: the main activity pool had no mobility ramp as of April 2026, so if step-free pool access matters, ask the hotel about the other pools before you book. For reference, the resort's tourism licence is H-35-2-0000085.
Questions
The things families ask most, the official pages worth a bookmark and when this guide was last refreshed.
Is there childcare for a baby or toddler under four?
Not as a club. The Astro Club only takes children from four, so for a younger one it comes down to the babysitting service, which you arrange and pay for at the resort subject to availability, or sharing the childcare between you. If supervised care for an under-four is essential to the holiday, this isn't the resort built for it, and Elba Castillo in Caleta de Fuste is worth a look instead.
Will there be a cot in the room?
Request one when you book. It may carry a charge, so check when you confirm the booking. If you're taking the two-bedroom suite, flag the cot separately: an infant in a cot isn't counted in the stated occupancy of four adults and one child, so confirm it physically fits on top of that.
How do we get the included Mare Nubium dinner?
Book it at reception as soon as you arrive. The à la carte dinner is one slot a week per stay, and the early sittings that suit small children go first, so it pays to sort it on day one rather than leave it.
Can we reach a calmer beach than the one out front?
Yes. Take the free hotel shuttle to Grandes Playas in the dune park, where the mornings are calmer, and check the times at check-in since they aren't published. For the gentlest water for a baby, it's worth a car for a day to reach the lagoon beach at El Cotillo.
When should we go with young children?
Aim for September to November if you can travel then, for the warmest sea and the lightest winds of the year. If you're tied to February half-term, pack for pool days rather than sea swims, and check that a heated pool is running.
Does it suit a couple as well as families?
It can, but only through My Favourite Club, the gated adults-only section with its own pools, restaurant and quieter service for guests sixteen and over. Book that tier if you want the couples' side of it; the rest of the resort is firmly family territory.
Are the pools heated?
Not all of them, and not year-round. The adults-only Sensations pool is heated from November to April, and the children's and infant pools are heated too. The main pools aren't listed as heated, so assume their temperature follows the weather. If you're booking a winter or early-spring trip and a warm swim matters, ask the hotel which pools are running warm during your dates.
