Holiday in Costa Calma

About Costa Calma

Costa Calma is located on the southeast coast of Fuerteventura and rightly bears its name — the "calm coast" offers kilometers of wind-sheltered sandy beaches in a vast semi-desert landscape reminiscent of the Sahara. While the northern coast of the island is exposed to the Atlantic waves and trade winds, the Jandía Peninsula protects the coastal section near Costa Calma, creating ideal conditions for families and windsurfers alike. Playa de Sotavento de Jandía beach is the flagship of the region: at low tide, a huge, shallow lagoon forms between the sandbank and the coast, where the water is ankle-deep and the wind creates perfect conditions for windsurfers and kitesurfers. The Windsurfing & Kiteboarding World Cup takes place here annually — a spectacle that attracts professional athletes and spectators from all over the world. The hinterland surprises with the Oasis Park — a vast zoo and botanical garden in a gorge, where camel caravans wander through the desert landscape and lemurs climb among cacti. The barren volcanic landscape of Fuerteventura, the oldest island of the Canary Islands, radiates a meditative calm that forms the perfect contrast to the active offerings at the beach. Costa Calma is not a place for culture tourists or night owls — it is a refuge for those seeking endless beaches, constant sunshine, and the soothing expanse of the Atlantic.
