Holiday rentals in Cotillo: apartments, houses and villas

Cotillo, in the north of Fuerteventura, is a destination that has grown a lot in recent years, but it still preserves a quiet atmosphere. If you are looking for a vacation rental, here you will find 255 accommodations, with an average price of 174 euros per night and the lowest from 100 euros. The offer is divided between apartments (223), vacation homes (23), villas (9) and hotels (4), with an average category of 3.7 stars. Before deciding, it is worth knowing how the areas are distributed and what each one offers you.

Most accommodations are concentrated in two areas: the urban center of Cotillo and the area of Los Lagos or del Mar beach, south of the town. In the center, you will have everything within walking distance: supermarkets, pharmacy, bars and restaurants, and the fishing port. It is the most practical option if you do not want to depend on the car for everything. In contrast, the developments next to Los Lagos and El Moro beaches are quieter, with communal pools and direct access to the sandy areas, but they are more spread out and sometimes 15-20 minutes walking from the center. The villas, which are only 9, are mainly located on the outskirts, towards the south or west, and usually have a garden and barbecue, ideal if you travel in a group.

As for prices, the low season (from October to March, except Christmas) is when you find the lowest rates, around 100-120 euros per night in apartments. April, May and June are a reasonable balance between climate and price. July, August and Easter week are the most expensive, and it is advisable to book months in advance. To get there, the usual thing is to fly to Fuerteventura airport (El Matorral), about 45 minutes by car. There are guaguas (buses) that connect with Cotillo, but the frequency is limited, so the most practical thing is to rent a car at the airport or in Corralejo. Within the town, everything is flat and can be walked without problem, but to go to the northern beaches (such as El Cotillo Surf) or to the cliffs, the car will give you freedom.

Before booking, check three things: whether the accommodation has air conditioning or only a fan (in summer the heat is noticeable), whether the kitchen is equipped with a dishwasher and washing machine (important for long stays), and whether the final price includes cleaning and bed linen, because some owners charge them separately. Also look at recent reviews about noise: some developments near the main road can be annoying. Real examples you can find on the platform are Molino de el Roque, Casa Nami, Apartamentos Albaula 5 or My little paradise, each with different characteristics, so compare the photos and the exact location on the map carefully.
