Everything for a relaxed start: how to get from the airport to Costa Calma, who welcomes you and which day trips are worth it.
Fuerteventura airport (FUE) is about 65 km north of Costa Calma, roughly 50 minutes by car on the FV-2 expressway. A hire car from the airport is the most convenient option.
Buses and taxis also run to Costa Calma; the stop is about 100 m from the house. A transfer can be arranged for a fee. Just mention it in your enquiry.
On arrival you are welcomed by Eduardo, the local property manager, who shows you the house. He speaks German, English, French, Italian and Spanish. You receive his contact details in advance to arrange your arrival time. The €110 final cleaning fee is paid to Eduardo on arrival.
At both houses you can park for free on the street. The Casa del Sol Rio complex also has some parking spaces, but not for every flat.
Rules can vary between towns. If in doubt, the sign applies.
Approximate driving times from Costa Calma.
A few minutes
The long beaches of Costa Calma start right on your doorstep. A few minutes further south lies the Sotavento lagoon with shallow turquoise water. It is famous for kitesurfing and windsurfing and lovely for a walk at low tide.
approx. 1 hour
One of Europe’s most impressive beaches: miles long, wild and undeveloped, with the Jandía mountains above. The Atlantic is often too rough for swimming here. The road from Morro Jable is a gravel track, so check whether your hire car contract allows it.
approx. 1 hour
Around Vega de Río Palmas and the Barranco de las Peñitas you hike between Canary palms, rocks and small pools of water, past an old reservoir. Bring good shoes and water.
approx. 1 hour
On the west coast the cliffs drop steeply to the Atlantic, with caves and natural rock pools. Keep your distance when the sea is rough, the surf is strong.
approx. 25 minutes
The town at the very south has a beach promenade, restaurants and a harbour. Rays can often be seen in the clear harbour water. This is also where the track to Cofete begins.
evenings
Fuerteventura is a certified Starlight Reserve. Drive a little out of town in the evening and you can often see the Milky Way with the naked eye.
