Costa Calma Holidays

Costa Calma Holidays – Relaxing resort with astonishing beaches

Our top recommendation for a quietly relaxing holiday on Fuerteventura thanks to exceptionally spacious beaches and enjoyably low-key nightlife. The beaches are the main attraction. Amazingly long stretches of fine pale sand are among the best in the Canaries.

Exceptionally calm shallow water is ideal for relaxed swimming and novice windsurfers. The main beach is terrific for children. Walk a little further and you’ll find utter peace and surprising seclusion.

This safe and appealingly laid-back family resort has an ample choice of bars, plenty of economical restaurants and even a couple of discos. But the atmosphere remains far quieter than Corralejo or even Jandia.

You can complement beach relaxation with camel rides, snorkelling, windsurfing, jeep safaris and first-class golf. Perfectly placed for exploring the protected beaches of the Jandia National Park, stunning Playa Sotavento and the traditional upmarket resort of Morro Jable.
