A Guide to Holidays in Costa Calma, Fuerteventura

Costa Calma lies on the south coast of Fuerteventura. Costa Calma translates into calm coast and the resort is certainly this - both in atmosphere and in the way that the sea remains calm. Costa Calma is first and foremost a beach resort - the resort was purpose-built alongside a mile long stretch of glowing white sands and forms the Playa Barca beach. As with any coastal resort, water sports are available in Costa Calma and the area is popular for windsurfing. Regardless of when you go, you're guaranteed to get a spot on this huge, tropical beach!

Costa Calma is a relatively small resort with some modern hotels that offer fantastic services and are within walking distance of the vast beach. Restaurants and bars in Costa Calma are above and the resort also has shopping centres and it's easy to take trips to surrounding Furteventura from here! However, once you get to Costa Calma, you will see the beach and forget everything else as you lay your towel on the softly shifting white sands and stare out at the beautiful blue ocean.
The beach-front part of the resort runs from the Hotel Rio Calma which includes its very own waterfall, fresh water pool at the edge of the sea, and gardens, to the Hotel Esmerelda, which though a little less secluded has the benefit of being closer to the wind surf schools and other activity centres of Costa Calma.

The sea front between these two hotels has a range of other hotels and apartments with various star or key ratings that allow easy access to the shore. Hotels which are set back from the shoreline are a great distance from the sea and their slightly elevated position gives then good views of Costa Calma and the surrounding dunes.
