Costa Caleta Holidays - Travel Guide

Costa Caleta (also known as Caleta de Fuste and Castillo) is located approximately 6 miles south of the Airport on the east coast of Fuerteventura.

Costa Caleta is a steadily expanding resort on Fuerteventura's east coast that features a man-made golden sand beach made with sand imported from the Sahara set in a pretty curved bay. The resort is the busiest on Fuerteventura and with such great facilities it's no surprise that more and more people are choosing Costa Caleta holidays.

The recent addition of a golf course adds to the already top-notch tourist infrastructure that has established Costa Caleta holidays as the top Fuerteventura holiday destination. The town consists of quiet tree lined streets and a long main thoroughfare lined by modest low-rise structures where you'll find the main hub of activity.

There's a relatively new shopping complex near the golf course and also a cinema, although most of the films shown are in Spanish. Holidays in Costa Caleta put you about halfway down the Fuerteventura coast, which gives you a fairly central base to explore the rest of the island. The public transport around the island is few and far between so a hire car would be the best method of getting around.

The main source of entertainment on Costa Caleta holidays is spending time by the beach and the sea. The sand stretches down to the water’s edge in a gentle slope so it is safe for children to go swimming. The usual water sports are available and there is a submarine excursion that gives you the opportunity to get a glimpse of some of the underwater life around the coastal waters.

There is a children’s fun park close to the beach with a soft play area and some small rides. The nightlife on Costa Caleta holidays is mostly focussed around the main street, where many of the bars and restaurants are situated. There is a little bit of something for everyone with karaoke bars and discos complimented by more laid back establishments.

An assortment of restaurants in the main town offer a variety of international cuisine, from Chinese and Italian to traditional Spanish fare. Prices are quite reasonable and there is enough choice to suit most tastes.

There are only a limited number of taxis in Costa Caleta but they are generally more than capable of coping with visitor’s requirements.

Some of the newer accommodation in Costa Caleta is being built further inland so visitors should be aware that they might have a walk to get into the centre of town. A mini train takes passengers from the small harbour area up to the top of the hill.

The journey from the Airport only takes about 15 minutes by car.
