Fuerteventura, it has been claimed.
According to Canary Island News, holidaymakers are attracted to the island by its clean sandy beaches, warm climate and relaxed atmosphere.

The island boasts over 55 kilometres of beaches and at just four hours away from the UK, it is the ideal option for holidaymakers who do not want to pay for a long-haul trip.

Lanzarote is also increasing in popularity as a holiday destination.
