History of Oasis Park

The only zoological park on the Canary Islands, it is also the only park in the Canary Islands with African elephants and hippos. Visiting Oasis Park means treating yourself to a beautiful and unique experience.

The park was launched in 1985, starting with the flora area. At the time, ornamental plants from all over the world were offered to the park. A natural habitat had to be created, especially to deal with environmental threats.

The Oasis Park started with a few small animals, like parrots or kangaroos, and then expanded to bigger animals such as elephants, hippos, giraffes, and many more.

Where to stay near Oasis Park?

Costa Calma

If you are a couple, this is probably the best place to stay. From there you can easily explore the Oasis Park but also other must-sees in Fuerteventura such as Cofete and many other attractions in Fuerteventura.

We probably stayed in the best hotel in Costa Calma. It’s called R2 Maryvent Beach Apartments Costa Calma. We had a fantastic sea-view apartment. You can check it here

Morro Jable

This is probably the most convenient place for families or retirees. You will find all you need in Morro Jable and it’s mostly flat, which makes it very easy to walk around. In Spain, we love the Iberostar chain hotel.

At Morro Jable, they have a stunning palace facing the sea. It’s beautiful. You can book it here.

In conclusion: is it worth visiting Oasis Park in Fuerteventura?

The clear answer is YES! We had a really great time visiting Oasis Park.

Before visiting we read some reviews with people saying that they spent 6 hours in the park! We were laughing when reading those reviews, wondering how can people spend so much time in what we thought was a simple zoo! Little did we know that we too would spend 5 hours visiting and having fun at Oasis Park.

Fuerteventura can at times become very windy, during those days it is good to stay away from the amazing beaches on the island and go inland. Visiting Oasis Park is then perfect!
