The Haven

About The Haven

Situated in the centre of the Old Harbour area this new twin / king bedded ground floor apartment is a little gem offering the best possible location; 50 metres walk from the bars and restaurants in this harbour area. The fully equipped kitchen means it is also perfect for those planning a self-catering holiday.

The village is only 35 minutes from the airport. At the airport there several car hire companies but better prices may be obtained if you pre book.
El Cotillo is easily reached by public transport. It is a short journey from the busier town of Corralejo using the regular bus service. Puerto del Rosario is also easily reached, crossing Fuerteventura and rewards the traveller with some excellent views.
If you are driving on the island, the main roads are good. There are also very picturesque routes along the coast, although these are sometimes easier to negotiate in a four wheel drive vehicle.
The perfect destination for those looking for a quiet peaceful holiday. If tranquillity is your requirement then Cotillo is the place for you. Fuerteventura has an abundance of white sandy beaches and El Cotillo has some of the best.A short walk to the north of the village lie the famous lagoon beaches, perfect for swimming and very safe.
To the south lies the Playa del Castillo, 2 kms long and used mainly for water sports, surfing, kite-surfing, wind-surfing etc.
Further to the south lie the beaches of Playa del Ajibe and Playa del Aguila, both wild and remote.

About El Cotillo, Fuerteventura

Still one of the unspoilt villages on the north-western part of the island, major development and tourism has remained at bay. As well as beautiful beaches, this village is known for its fort, Fortaleza del Tostón, which was built in 1797. Looking slightly odd now, isolated on the cliff tops. El Cotillo is a traditional Canarian village that doesn’t have all night bars and restaurants, so if it’s a quiet break away you’re looking for, you’ve just discovered the right place to escape too.

Owner's Tips

There are miles of excellent beaches to the south of this part of sunny Fuerteventura, and even on a busy day they are too big to be overcrowded. These beaches are popular with surfers, windsurfers and kiteboarders, and their colourful sails and kites only add to the scenery. The north beach incorporates several lagoons which provide safe bathing. The circular stone windbreaks (corralles) that are a common feature in El Cotillo surround these lagoons. This beach is popular with naturists because of the available shelter and safe bathing.
