Situated on the beautiful island of Fuerteventura, Costa Caleta is the perfect resort in which to spend your family holidays in the Canary Islands.

Costa Caleta

The purpose-built resort of Costa Caleta is located on the east coast of Fuerteventura, just 8 miles from the island’s capital Puerto Del Rosario and 5 miles from the airport. Known locally as Caleta de Fuste (cove of the fishing boat) or El Castillo de Fuste (which refers to the watchtower which looks down on the harbour), Costa Caleta is great for families and couples alike who are looking for rest and relaxation in a friendly atmosphere.

The horseshoe shaped cove here is man made from fine golden imported sand and provides a safe, sheltered place for all the family to enjoy the shallow, clear, warm waters. There is a safety barrier in place to prevent children from swimming out too far. At low tide rock pools teaming with fascinating marine life form, making this a great place to explore for the whole family. The temperature of the waters here very rarely fall below 19C (even in the winter) and average around 29C in August. It is always sunny here with the temperature rarely dropping below 21C.

Apart from it’s beautiful beach, Costa Caleta has a harbour, marina,

There are also two 18 hole golf courses in the area.

Have you considered staying on Fuerteventura, the largest of the Canary Islands?
If you are considering this island destination then why not take a look at a really informative travel article for Fuerteventura that i have just come across.

Fuerteventura is the place for the best beach holiday.

Corralejo beach

Because Fuerteventura’s economy is purely built around tourism,  it is the perfect place for any holiday maker to get exactly what they want from their holiday. There are two towns on the island, Corralejo and Caleta de fuste, each offering a different experience.
Corralejo is located on the most northern tip of the island and is based around the small fishing town which has been adapted to tend to the tourists needs.
Purpose built Caleta de fuste is much more up beat and lively than that of the sleepy town of Corralejo.

Fuerteventura is also a top choice for golfing enthusiasts. With two golf courses, one is the championship golf course of the Spanish open and the

 other is situated right next to it, there is plenty of opportunity to play.
