Presenter María Patiño and her husband, Ricardo Rodríguez, have been renting out a 200 square metre property in Corralejo since 2022, with direct access to Las Clavellinas beach. The minimum stay is three nights and they require a deposit of 400 euros.
The presenter and her husband, Ricardo Rodríguez, started this side business alongside their television careers four years ago. The property, valued at nearly 700,000 euros, has become one of the most sought-after options in northern Fuerteventura. Named Villa Corralejo Bay, the property appears on several booking platforms with a rating close to 8 out of 10 on Booking.
A minimalist house by the Atlantic
The villa, designed in a minimalist style, boasts over 200 square metres spread over two floors. The ground floor features the living room, a fully equipped open-plan kitchen, and two bedrooms. The third bedroom is on the upper floor and leads to a terrace with sea views. It has two full bathrooms.
Outside, there is an al fresco dining area, a barbecue, and a grassy area with sun loungers and palm trees. The direct access to Las Clavellinas beach is one of its main attractions. Very close by is the Corralejo Dunes Natural Park, one of the most iconic landscapes in the Canary Islands.
Rental conditions: strict but effective
To stay in the villa, several requirements must be met. The minimum stay is three nights and a deposit of 400 euros must be left to cover potential damages. The price per night is around 500 euros, depending on the season. Smoking indoors is not allowed and pets are not permitted.
Despite the strict requirements, the business has yielded good results. Since 2022, bookings have remained high and there is almost no availability on peak dates. Guests highlight the location and views in their reviews, which are mostly positive.
The appeal of Corralejo, key to success
The Corralejo Natural Park is one of the main tourist attractions in Fuerteventura. This coastal strip extends for nearly 10 kilometres to the northeast of the island. In the northern part, near the tourist centre of Corralejo, lies the largest dune field in the Canary archipelago, a landscape of white sand against turquoise waters.
For Canarians seeking a getaway, this villa represents a luxury option in a privileged setting. Although the price is not for every budget, the opportunity to stay in a house with direct access to the beach and a unique natural park in the Canaries justifies the investment. Those who can afford it will find a designer retreat in the heart of paradise.
