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.

Flight Information

Regular direct flights operate from major UK airports including London Gatwick, Manchester, Birmingham, and Bristol to Fuerteventura Airport (FUE). Flight times average around 4 hours and 15 minutes, with year-round services ensuring easy access to the island.

Transfer Time

Transfer time from Fuerteventura airport to Costa Calma is approximately 1 hour.

When to go

Fuerteventura enjoys a year-round spring climate, with average temperatures between 20°C and 28°C. The island’s famed trade winds keep it comfortably mild even in summer, while winter remains pleasantly warm — perfect for escaping colder months back home. 

March to October is ideal for beach days and water sports, while November to February offers quieter shores and beautiful light for photography or walking. Don’t miss Fuerteventura’s Kite Festival each November, when hundreds of colourful kites fill the skies over Sotavento.

Visa Information

British passport holders can visit Spain, including the Canary Islands, visa-free for up to 90 days within any 180-day period. Passports must be valid for at least three months beyond your planned departure date. 

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.

Introduction to languages

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
