Luxury Costa Calma Holidays

Endless sunshine and adventure

Perched along the sun-drenched southern coast of Fuerteventura, in the Canary Islands, Costa Calma is a tranquil haven where golden sands meet the Atlantic’s turquoise shimmer. Just over an hour’s drive from Fuerteventura Airport and moments from the wilder stretches of the Jandía Peninsula, this coastal gem is the island’s peaceful side — ideal for couples, families, and sunseekers in search of calm.

True to its name, Costa Calma is a place of effortless serenity. Here, days unfold slowly, from morning strolls along a 13-mile ribbon of beach to afternoons spent windsurfing, exploring volcanic landscapes, or browsing boutique shops in nearby Morro Jable. Evenings are relaxed, with oceanfront dining and pastel sunsets that seem to last forever.

Things to Do in Costa Calma

Costa Calma is made for days that flow between relaxation and adventure. Begin with the beaches — Playa de Sotavento, famed for its mirror-like lagoons and soft white sand, is one of Europe’s most photographed stretches of coast. Here, gentle breezes make it a world-class destination for windsurfing and kitesurfing, while calmer coves nearby invite swimming and snorkelling.

Explore the beauty of Jandía Natural Park, where volcanic peaks and cactus-strewn plains form a dramatic backdrop for hiking or 4x4 excursions. Discover Fuerteventura’s artisan heritage in La Pared or Betancuria, a charming hilltop town known for its whitewashed architecture and local cheese tasting. And when the sun dips low, indulge in Canarian cuisine — think grilled seafood, mojo sauces, and papas arrugadas — at elegant seafront restaurants or traditional tapas bars.

Tipping

Restaurant bills in Fuerteventura include a service charge by law in Spain, so whether you choose to tip further is up to you. If you enjoyed the meal and service, it is customary to leave 5-10%. Hotel porters and maids will appreciate a small tip, and while taxi drivers don’t require a tip, it’s common to round up the fare.

The official language is Spanish, though English is widely spoken in hotels, restaurants, and shops. Learning a few simple phrases will always earn a smile:

Hola – Hello

Gracias – Thank you

Por favor – Please

La cuenta, por favor – The bill, please
