Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best sports hotel in the Canary Islands?
Club La Santa is widely regarded as Europe's number-one multisport resort, with three 50m pools, cycling infrastructure and over 80 sports on offer. Barceló Lanzarote Active Resort is the top choice for triathletes seeking a more hotel-style experience. Playitas Resort in Fuerteventura is Europe's largest sports complex.
When is the best time to train in the Canary Islands?
The Canary Islands are excellent year-round, but winter (November to March) is peak training season as European athletes escape the cold. The steady trade winds and mild 20–25°C temperatures make spring and autumn equally good for cycling and running. Summer is the quietest period.
Do I need a car in Lanzarote or Fuerteventura?
For Club La Santa and Barceló Lanzarote, you can cover most routes on foot or bike directly from the property. Playitas Resort in Fuerteventura is self-contained. However, a hire car gives you access to varied routes across both islands and is recommended for stays longer than a week.
Can I fly directly to the Canary Islands from the UK?
Yes — there are direct flights to Lanzarote (ACE) from London, Manchester and other UK airports, and to Fuerteventura (FUE) from most major UK hubs. The flight is approximately 4 hours. Year-round availability makes booking flexible.
