"There may be no recognised swingers outlets such as clubs or bars in Fuerteventura, but there are certainly Swingers that Holiday and Live in Fuerteventura. Albeit most swinging seems to just happen mainly in a random 'hey who's in the Dunes or Circles' kind of way. We did have one message below saying a bar owner was considering a 1 night a week stay-back, but that seems to have petered into nothing. Now you might say go to PDI - well we like Fuerteventura - so that's what we are talking about here in this thread. Another problem is that people just seem to be posting 'we are there on such a date and hoping for fun'. Then the next post gives a different date and by-and-large says the same thing albeit with a different date. There has to be a more positive and constructive way of doing this? Doesn't there? Well we would think, but so far . . . nada! Last time we used 'who's near' they were actually 16 kms away! Now we always have a car, but we wanted to drink too so that was a non-starter. Now we don't meet and just swing ever - we like to get to know people first over a few drinks and some time together, then perhaps if we click, we rock! So. Suggestions please. let's see if there is a third way. And one that doesn't involve pineapples lol (we don't even like pineapples hahaha. Go . . . . . Ps. please don't just post a date. " | |||

"Our suggestion is to leave Fuerteventura exactly as it is. We are swingers that live here and we value it's laid back atmosphere, quiet beaches and relaxed people. If we wanted clubs, meeting places, sex on the beach and in your face swinging we would live in PDI or Cap d'Agde. Only yesterday, on Flag beach, we had to rescue a single young woman from an old, overweight predatory male with an erection who clearly didn't understand the difference between naturism and swinging. We can well do without more of that behaviour from tourists looking for a 'bit of action'. 'Who's near' on Fab has served us, and many others, well over the years. That's pretty much all we need." Totally agree… Respect the island and its atmosphere!!!! | |||

You said 'we'. We isn't the rest of the world. I don't like smoking but 'we' have to put up with it - if you catch my drift? And I'm not being argumentative here, really I'm not. Also not suggesting swingers clubs for a moment. And I've already said (more than once) that playing in the dunes really isn't our thing. A contact point isn't a swingers club nor is it a swingers bar. If there was one we wouldn't play in it - already said too that we would only play in our apartment. Discreet play changes nothing about the Island. It's a bit selfish to suggest that swinging only happens the way you want it to. Well life really isn't like that. | |||

And you said it yourself people walking around the dunes behaving badly isn't at all what the island (any island needs, nor imagine wants). But your discreet play is okay, and mine isn't? Yea okay. Since writing this quite a few folks have inboxed me and said a meeting point would be a good idea, simply because they hate the dunes way of play.- one said he's love a wank on the beach, guess which one who didn't get an answer? Anyway. Keep adding ideas folks, here or inbox is good. ![]() | |||

"Whilst we have been living on the island two clubs have opened (in Villa Verde and Costa Calma) and rapidly closed because of lack of custom. The one bar that people claimed was "a meeting place for swingers", but actually never was according to the owner (the Hello Bar in Corralejo) has closed and reopened under another name. Since Covid many bars have closed or are struggling. To become known as a swingers bar could easily become the kiss of death financially. It isn't a question of "not on our island" but a question of residents having a better idea, through years of experience, what is likely to work than a visitor wanting to organize us. " No worries, your original response didn't really convey that but now you've clarified and it concurs with my supply and demand comment. Clearly there isn't the demand and people who think 'build it and they will come' are only kidding themselves. Very different pace to life on Fuerteventura ![]() | |||

"As far as I know, Spice closed for a good reason. The hotel was rented, and never told the Landlord they were opening a Swinger hotel. They did not extend the contract longer. I remember the bar in Costa Calma. We were the only couple there on a thursday night" Did they not try and open at another location, Spice2? I think I remember people had booked and paid money, before it was announced it wouldn't be opening. Again, I could be wrong, as it was a number of years ago | |||

"Years ago. They asked for money, right. I don't know whether it was for a new resort. They knew the hotel was going to close. They gave money back...as a week in a resort in Jamiaca. Long time ago so I could be wrong...sorry " Tracy and Dean of Spice Lanzarote were 'shafted' by the property owner. As he realised that he could make a lot more money by dealing with travel companies. So their lease was not renewed. As far as we are aware all money was refunded to clients of Spice2 Swingers Holidays. Both Tracy and Dean are lovely people. | |||

"I feel, as a local, that a place to meet singles and couples swingers could be lovely. As a single guy we come with a massive label on a back from needy pushy wankers. So I'd understand we are not welcome, yet feel it's a shame too as it's not by shutting off that we actually create change. Ideas of a bar where we meet up as friends, at a given date and time, like I do for entrepreneur coffees, or within the healers & therapists community could be a greet idea. To me swinging is about connection, meeting people, like minded, we know what we enjoy, we are open about it. even if most of us would not enter their corporate company saying I'm a swinger with my wife, there is a taboo and judgmental that I see the concerns of business owners... It's risky. Let's remember how religion still has a large imprint on Spain and the island with all the virgen celebrations all year round) even disagreements between posters arose in this post so imagine with people who can't imagine our lifestyle. So it could be rent a villa one night once in a while, private invite. It could be bar meet-ups, casual, social setting and see from there. Could be a list like it's done for the cap d'agde thread and people post their come and goes What3words is good, registration is required yet it's useful and fun to connect. We could also have a telegram group option I feel simplicity and mingling, as human beings, without considering anyone as a penis and vagina is a good start to building a wider network here. And as I'm nearer gran tarajal, a kind of nomadic option with like maybe 1 place north, 1 central, 1 south could be fun, should some business owners be up for it. " ![]() | |||

"The penis bottle opener is all over the world. In Bali, Mauritius, Spain, France, UK, I've seen it all around tourist locations. I told a friend, your seriously naive...

""11. If you are invited, and you fail to turn up you will not be invited again". Sounds very 'cult-like'. Disfellowshipped for not attending is the kind of thing JW's and Exclusive Brethren do!" Nope. To me (us), it sounds like a group not wanting time-wasters. Much like the hundreds of swingers here on fab will block and disfellowship time-wasters. With only a certain amount of 'spaces' to be filled, why invite couples to come again if they didn't visit after accepting the first time. Just common sense really. I'm sure that they won't mind me saying that they sent me (us) flyers of two past events - it looks quite classy and lots of fun. We are looking forward to it very much. ![]() | |||

"I'm new to the world of FAB but not so new to swinging. I tend to meet people naturally in social environments, bars, cafés etc. They've all worked for me over the years. Personally I'm not keen on establishments that are labelled 'swingers' be that clubs or bars. However establishments that have either adopted swingers or been adopted by swingers as meeting points are fine in my opinion and seem to work well as places to meet people. There must be some suitable bars locally that can be adopted as meeting points, of course it needs to be kept discreet but from the comments above it appears that's what most people would prefer. Only my thoughts, I've never visited the island before, I'm due to visit with a friend in December. I have been to PDI before and didn't like it, it all felt a bit premeditated and tacky to me. " TY. This is exactly our point. And it is already happening with at least one bar (read above) - Nico's suggested they might give it a try (though they have not been back on here in a few days). ![]() | |||

"Well. It turns out that there already is a network on Fuerteventura. I've had a very sweet message from a bar owner who is happy and has been happy for two years to welcome swingers and network them under these rules: 1. Invitation only. 2. There are no word of mouth invitations. 3. Couples have to prove themselves to be couples. 4. They host 1 night a week rolling. 5. You must always purchase their drinks and food. 6. No open air Play. 7. Decent dress code upon arrival. 8. Have a quiet approach and departure from the premises. 9. No d*unkenness and no drugs. No phones to be switched on. Smoking and Vapes are not allowed indoors. 10. Good behaviour. 11. If you are invited, and you fail to turn up you will not be invited again. Address will only be given on the evening that a couple is invited. I asked if I could post this on the forum. I'm not sure if singles are allowed. ![]() ![]() Didn't know about it. Good to know. Just in case I go to Fuerte with a friend | |||

"No. Because once you have visited and things have gone well. You can visit again and again. They are simply looking for a more sophisticated set of swingers. I know that it's a shame that you can't have swinging just your way but that's the way it is sorry. But really, swinging in Fuerteventura doesn't belong to expats does it." "More sophisticated"? My goodness! Nothing quite like showing your true colours in a public forum is there. | |||

But there are many bars and clubs in both that add a lot more 'sophistication' to swinging. ![]() | |||

"Having been stood up countless times by Fab couples arranging a meet in a bar, we now simply give any interested couples our 'what3word' beach location. We're nude, nothing to hide and if no one turns up, we've just spent a lovely day on the beach with friends,as usual. Home is only 5 minutes away, so all bases are covered should we wish to take things a step further. It certainly sorts out the dreamers and wannabes from genuine swingers." My female friend and I did the same thing earlier this year ie used what3words to show our location with a caveat of by all means feel free to sunbathe nearby, say hello if you wish and just see how it unfolds from there with no promises of any 'play' if that's their only agenda. That said we've booked to stay at Infinity in Corralejo to reduce the amount of unwanted propositions when on the beaches but still enjoy all over clothes free tanning and be in a more sociable environment. Probably visit one or two beaches for a couple of hours or so though to break the stay up. | |||

"Absolutely. As a married couple we have been swinging happily and successfully for over 40 years now and all without spending anything on club memberships, enforced club attendances or subscriptions of any kind. On 11th November we will be joined again on the rock by a wonderful bisexual ladyfriend we originally seduced in a local, non-swinger associated bar close to our El Cotillo home. Then our Swedish friends arrive.............. Happy days. " You like what you like, others like what others like. It's an odd thing in life these days that people seem to have to hate one thing to love another. What works for you is fine, and that's as it should be. What works for others is fine too, and that's the way it should be. Let's keep it positive regardless. | |||

I can't remember the name of the booking company (was it holiday ways) as it couldn't be booked direct or with high street T'Agents, but they were charged with the refunds. As a travel company, it would have been underwritten by ATOL and ABTA. But. Yes. They were great times. | |||

We know some people claimed off their Credit card but ours was with a French account and the branch was in the workplace that like everything in pre covid France, you had to actually go in and see them in person, so knew them personally.. didn't really fancy telling them face to face that we wanted to claim for a swingers resort! Oh well these things happen and at least we enjoyed every stay we had there thoroughly and still wish it was operating ![]() | |||

"Years ago. They asked for money, right. I don't know whether it was for a new resort. They knew the hotel was going to close. They gave money back...as a week in a resort in Jamiaca. Long time ago so I could be wrong...sorry Tracy and Dean of Spice Lanzarote were 'shafted' by the property owner. As he realised that he could make a lot more money by dealing with travel companies. So their lease was not renewed. As far as we are aware all money was refunded to clients of Spice2 Swingers Holidays. Both Tracy and Dean are lovely people. We didn't get our money back for our Spice 2 booking ![]() ![]() ![]() Yup. We lost a regular holiday three weeks before going. And we fought for three years and similarly the French Bank Crédit Lyonnais (half-french here) wouldn't recognise National Westminster Bank in the UK so wouldn't transfer Credit Card funds back !!! In the end, the French banking watchdog ordered them to. But. We Live. We Learn. lol. And in the end you seem to have taken the good memories over the bad. ![]() | |||

"Since I've been on fabs, I have met a few couples and singles through fabs. Usually, I ask that they come to me, as there are so many men out there. I'm more of an introvert extrovert, so maybe it's my way of communicating. I always feel it happens when and with whom it's meant to, when it's a flow. Then, may it be a social, watching, soft swing, going further, it's natural. Letting go of expectations has been an important part, and not putting a definition on how swinging should look or be. Finally, we are all humans, seeking connection, play, and allowing ourselves to live what others fantasize about. ![]() ![]() | |||

" Yes, but not a "Secret" place that some unknown person has to invite you to. If you know of a place, other than Nico's then perhaps you should name it. " ____________________ PREVIOUSLY POSTED . . . "Well. It turns out that there already is a network on Fuerteventura. I've had a very sweet message from a bar owner who is happy and has been happy for two years to welcome swingers and network them under these rules: 1. Invitation only. 2. There are no word of mouth invitations. 3. Couples have to prove themselves to be couples. 4. They host 1 night a week rolling. 5. You must always purchase their drinks and food. 6. No open air Play. 7. Decent dress code upon arrival. 8. Have a quiet approach and departure from the premises. 9. No d*unkenness and no drugs. No phones to be switched on. Smoking and Vapes are not allowed indoors. 10. Good behaviour. 11. If you are invited, and you fail to turn up you will not be invited again. Address will only be given on the evening that a couple is invited. I asked if I could post this on the forum. I'm not sure if singles are allowed. Happy to say that we have been invited and have graciously accepted. They have read this thread." ______________________________________________ It's not for me to post the address at all. That is entirely the owners prerogative. ![]() | |||

"All a bit "Secret Squirrel" We're back over in March, won't hold our breaths. " You never know, we might be able to tell you at the end of November. We are hoping that the owners are amiable to it being more public. And we have already mentioned it to them - they seem to be very nice, calm, relaxed folks. So who knows. Fingers crossed. But for the moment, I'm guessing the owners just want to do it their way. 1st lesson we ever learning in swinging was to accept that sometimes invites just don't arrive, and other invites we didn't expect came anyway. This is the 'swinging of round-a-bouts' lol. Have a loverly holiday. Gawd knows we all need them more now than ever. ![]() | |||
