Jandia Area Information

Palm Garden is in a very central location and access on foot to all local amenities is easy. It has communal swimming and toddler pools with sun loungers and a restaurant by the pool. There is a bar and games room.

The lobby has internet access and public phones. At street level is a row of shops, cafes, and restaurants as choose from. The supermarket and medical centres are also very near.

The fishing village/port of Morro Jable is about 20 minutes' walk away. There is a harbour there and plenty of "non tourist" shops. The waterfront also boasts a lovely series of restaurants. Local food is fantastic! It has banks, post office and police station, plus big supermarket and laundrette.

Coast/Beach

The (start of the) beach is just a short 200m level walk from your apartment building. Loungers and sunshades can be hired at regular intervals along the beaches, where there are also occasional laid back beach bars, playing mostly Spanish music with a wide range of freshly prepared meals, ices and refreshments, alcoholic and otherwise, at fair prices. Their snacks are very enticing, including Gambas al Aquillo (sizzling prawns in garlic) and mejillones (mussels), which dwarf British mussels.

Golf

There are several golf courses on Fuerteventura and more in the making, including one in Jandia. Not being golfers ourselves, we cannot comment specifically but you would need to hire transport to reach a golf course, or some of them, if you want a choice of courses.

Skiing

Water skiing only!

Special interest holidays

The beach is ideal for all forms of surfing and there are surf, sailing and diving schools very near. Activities available include fishing, diving, sailing, tennis, golf, boat trips, visits to other islands by ferry, cycling, camel riding, mountain biking, trike biking, motocross biking, jet-ski, botanical gardens, animal park and walking. Fuerteventura has a spectacular volcanic landscape.

Travel

The road from the airport is modern. A taxi ride from the airport will cost about 100 Euros and take about 50 minutes, or you can take a number 10 bus, which is a cheap and comfortable ride. It stops directly opposite Palm Garden. You can hire a car, either at the airport or at your destination. If you want to explore the island you would probably do better to hire a car than to go on organised trips. Private transfers be arranged at the time of booking for less than the usual taxi fare.

Distances

Morro Jable is the nearest town. It takes about 20 minutes to walk to, along the road, beach or promenade. You can alternatively take a short taxi or bus ride to get there. It is a living village with good restaurants along the waterfront. It has banks, post office and police station, plus big (Spar) supermarket, laundry, and much more!

There are camel rides and a zoo/ botanic garden at La Lajita, about 16 miles away. You will pass through here on your way from the airport.

Further details

It would be wise to take out medical insurance as (private) treatment can prove expensive. Public medical facilites are not well developed on this part of the island, at least. There are some excellent restaurants, especially Coronata in Morro Jable and the Marabu at Esquinzo, a couple of miles down the coast, but more than worth the effort! You can reach Esquinzo via the local (blue and yellow) circular bus service, which also stops directly opposite Palm Garden, or walk the shore to get there.

The Oasis Bar beneath the apartments if good for music. La Sirena cafe is another favourite there. Try a Cocktail at the Kuhstall Bar in the adjoining Cosmo Centre or (more expensive) at the Treffpunkt, further down the strip.
