8/10 Sure why not.

“13°C warmer for 4h 10m in the air. A fair swap for a grey week.”

How we work this out

Worth the bother is worked out from the same facts every time: how much warmer, drier and sunnier it usually is there than in Ireland that month, how long the flight is, how good the place is, whether something’s on and, when we have enough fares for the route, whether the month is unusually dear or cheap. We use the usual weather for the month so one freak day can’t swing it. When you tell us what you’re after (snow, Christmas markets, walking and so on), the weather part asks how well the usual weather fits that, not just how warm it is. Nobody can pay to change a score, and plenty of places score low on purpose.

The Bottom Line

Who should go: Best for beach people and families.
How long: Give it four nights or more.
Worth the money?: Yes. Good value.
Would we go?: Yes. We’d book Fuerteventura this month.

What Fuerteventura is actually like

The beach island of the Canaries: long white sand, turquoise water and big empty spaces. It is quieter and less built-up than Tenerife or Gran Canaria, and windy enough to be a kitesurfing hotspot. Nightlife is low-key.

Beach lovers
Surfers and kitesurfers
Couples and families who want peace

Best time to go to Fuerteventura from Ireland

Warm all year. Spring and autumn are lovely. Summer brings the strongest winds, which is great for watersports and less great for picnics.
