Iberostar Beachfront Resorts reopens the doors of its Iberostar Waves Gaviotas Park hotel, an all inclusive family resort which welcomes its guests back to Jandía beach, Fuerteventura, after an ambitious refurbishment project.

With a firm commitment to quality and to providing guests with exceptional service, the hotel reflects all the attributes that define the new Iberostar Waves concept, a fun and reassuring hotel concept designed for value-savvy families and beach-loving couples.

The resort, located in the surroundings of the Jandía natural park, has 237 completely renovated spacious rooms and suites with most accommodating up to five or six people. The new stand out family suites with two rooms and the themed rooms are carefully designed for the little ones with furniture inspired by the elements of the sea and surfing. Moreover, the hotel offers five outdoor pools and a complete spa. For younger guests, the resort boasts an endless number of surprises that start from the slide in the reception, to the children’s spaces such as the Star Camp, a splash pool and an extended children’s pool area with games and aqua fun activities.

This renewed family concept introduces a completely new, varied, healthy and sustainable gastronomic experience, with quality products and a wide range of responsibly sourced fish and seafood. The resort offers four restaurants and bars: the buffet restaurant Maday, taken from the traditional Guanche name, offers the best of local and international gastronomy; Erbania, the former name of the island of Fuerteventura, is a snack bar with decoration that is inspired by waves and surfing while the Marasul bar is inspired by the essence and beauty of the sea and the sun; and the theatre bar, Tindaya, is reminiscent of the island’s sacred mountain, a 400-metre-high archaeological treasure that stands out in the arid and flat landscape of Fuerteventura.

The hotel’s design is inspired by the essence of the island and incorporates marine elements with seagulls, which translates to “Gaviotas” in Spanish, as a common thread. Iberostar has chosen to incorporate marine life into the hotel design to reflect their passion for the oceans, whilst also nodding to water sports such as windsurfing and surfing which attract multitudes of travellers to Fuerteventura throughout the year. In addition, the resort integrates floral decorative elements inspired by the cacti and succulents, native to the island.
