Caleta de Fuste, also known as El Castillo or Costa Caleta, is a modern, purpose-built resort located on Fuerteventura’s east coast, within the municipality of Antigua and just a few kilometres from the airport. Designed with family getaways in mind, it features a horseshoe-shaped golden-sand beach that’s sheltered by reefs and breakwaters, making the waters calm, safe, and welcoming for swimmers of all ages. The resort also boasts a charming marina, a small pleasure boat harbour, and the historic Castillo de San Buenaventura, a defensive tower built in the 18th century, now preserved as a cultural monument.
Renowned for its family-friendly atmosphere and convenient location, Caleta de Fuste offers a wide range of amenities, including numerous hotels, restaurants, bars, shops, and supermarkets, spread across distinct zones: central, hillside, and southern, with golf courses and a commercial centre nearby. Activities abound: from windsurfing, scuba diving, sailing and even submarine tours, to enjoying dolphin and turtle sightings just offshore. Golf enthusiasts will appreciate the proximity to not one but two 18-hole championship courses, one of which hosted the Spanish Open. For those seeking a little local culture, the Atlantico shopping centre, regular markets, and the fortress tower add a dash of historical and social appeal.
