Costa Caleta Holidays

Trace your finger along Fuerteventura’s east coast and you’ll come across Costa Caleta, which also goes by Caleta de Fuste. It’s made a name for itself as family-friendly territory, thanks to its sheltered beach, shopping mall and globe-spanning restaurants. If you fancy a change of scene, you can follow the coastal path to chilled-out Costa de Antigua.

Fuerteventura’s a Canary Island known for its breezy beaches with watersports-ready waves. But Costa Caleta’s an exception to the rule. Its beach is cuddled into a horseshoe-shaped curve, which protects it from the swell. The soft sand – imported from the Sahara Desert, in Africa – gently slopes into the calm waters. To one end, there’s a little harbour, where you can book diving and boat trips.

There’s plenty to keep you busy in the resort centre. There’s a mini-castle by the harbour, clubs on the beach, plus a main street full of bars and restaurants. If you venture slightly further out of town, you’ll find even more going on. There’s the 18-hole Fuerteventura Golf Club, as well as the Atlantico Shopping Centre and a museum dedicated to salt.
