Costa Calma, Fuerteventura Information

COSTA CALMA

Costa Calma
Costa Calma is one of the longer established holiday resorts on the island and has long been a popular resort for German holidaymakers since 1977. Nowadays, it has become more cosmopolitan and the mix of tourists and residents come from all over Northern Europe.
Water sports are particularly prevelant in this part of the island and indeed the beach at Sotavento will play host to the PWA Freestyle Grand Slam Windsurfing Championships, attracting some of the world’s top windsurfers. Also the PKRA Kiteboarding Grand Prix will be held on Sotovento beach. Clearly, Fuerteventura’s famous trade winds play a major part in these extreme sports and attract a great number of athletes from around the world.
The golden beaches stretching down to the pretty quaint village of Morro Jable are backed by a plethora of hotels, shops, bars and restaurants aimed at giving the holidaymaker everything needed for the perfect holiday abroad. The main road through Costa Calma, which is surrounded by a copse of tall pine trees indigenous to the island, meanders through the surrounding mountains, offering glorious views of the miles and miles of stunning beaches. Similarly, properties in this area enjoy breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains and coastline. Costa Calma is not renown for an abundance of nightlife, but retains a relaxing sophisticated style, which may delight the more mature traveller.
