Villa Gecko- Activities
Tennis and Paddle Courts
Situated less than 100yds from Villa Gecko near the pool there is a Tennis Court and a Paddle Court that can be used at any time during your stay at Villa Gecko.
A Paddle Court is smaller than a tennis court, and has simpler markings. The court is surrounded by glass with a high 
back end, a squash court in the sun. It can be played either as singles or doubles with the scoring similar to tennis played over three sets.
The biggest difference between it and tennis is the bat which looks like a giant table tennis bat, and the service is underhand rather than overhand.
Surfing
When it comes to surfing The Canary Islands richly deserves the title of "The Hawaii of the Atlantic". The volcanic rock of the island is hit by ocean swells from three directions producing waves that are among the best in the world. Add to the mix the constant warm sunshine and crystal clear water and you really do have something special.

Kite Surfing
Take a surf board combine it with a kite to harness the power of the wind and now you are Kite Surfing. Along the beach to the south of Corralej the spectacular coloured kites can be seen for miles as they dance around the sky while they pull surfer and board along. Many taking to the air as they perform tricks suspended beneath a canopy of multicoloured silk. There are many different companies offering expert advice and tuition one such company Ventura Surf offer a range of courses as well as equipment hire.
At Villa Gecko we highly recommend Liquid Ventura for kite surfing
Wind Surfing
Not happy with using a kite to power your surf board, then why not use a sail instead? Now you really can skim along the water at high speed.
Unlike a rudder-steered sailing boat, a wind surfer is steered by tilting and rotating the mast and sail as well as tilting and carving the board.
Those with more experience can even make these take to the air as well performing some great tricks.

Golf
Currently Fuerteventura has two 18 hole golf courses a third is currently being built around Villa Gecko. Both the existing courses are located next to each other in Caleta de Fuste.
Elba Palace Golf Resort despite only opening in the spring of 2002 it hosted the Spanish Open in 2004. The 18 hole course wanders over streams and lakes as it meanders its way between villas. The front nine holes are fairly flat whilst the back nine are more elevated as the course climbs up the hill. to the side of the 18th tee there are some great views. The tee 
itself has been cut back into the hill making this tricky left hand dog leg par 4 even more difficult. The decision whether to go for glory and cut the left hand corner over the trees and garden fences in an attempt to hit the green in one (which cant be seen from the tee) for that birdie opportunity. Or to lay up at the bottom of the hill (which again cant be seen from the tee) and play the safer option though even this is not such an easy shot as it first appears. To short and the dog leg comes into play, to long and your in the long rough behind the trees with no way forward towards the tee. The choice of shot is down to the individual. Whichever you choose though it comes as a a fitting end to a good round of golf.
The second course was only finished in 2006 and offers a different challenge. The course is an 18 hole par 70 6049 meters. Made up of two loops of nine holes each starting and finishing at the clubhouse. The course has three large lakes connected by a stream that also comes into play on a lot of the hole's. Layout of the course is basically flat with exception of the 17th and 18th holes. The 17th a par 5 that rises to a well protected green. The 18th then provides a tricky downhill dogleg back to the clubhouse par 4.
