Located on the west coast of the island of Fuerteventura, Caleta de Fuste is one of the most popular seaside resorts in the Canary Islands. Easy to access due to its proximity to the airport and appreciated by tourists, it is the perfect place for a sunny holiday.
A family destination, Caleta de Fuste offers a perfect setting for holidaymakers looking for peace and quiet. The city is built around the El Castillo tower, a large defence tower dating from the mid-18th century. Also known as the "Bonaventure Tower", this circular military enclosure dominates the entire coastline and is one of the most visited sites in the municipality, particularly because of the wonderful 360° panorama offered by its 12-metre high perched terrace. It is also the only cultural site worth a visit in Caleta de Fuste, because like many seaside resorts, most of the city is made up of hotels and holiday rentals.
If one comes to Caleta de Fuste, it is because of its beach, the main asset of the seaside resort. Bordered by the crystal clear waters of the Atlantic Ocean, Caleta de Fuste reveals a long golden sandy beach, "Castillo Beach", perfect for relaxing moments. Protected from the waves, it attracts many parents and children who come to bathe there in complete serenity. Whether you are one of those who like to immerse yourself in a good book, those who like to sunbathe the pill or even unconditional fans of water sports, you will necessarily find your happiness by treading the sand of Caleta de Fuste. As for activities, there will be something for the whole family: you can go beach volleyball, inflatable games, water skiing, kitesurfing, SUP, sailing or surfing.
To visit Caleta de Fuste and its surroundings, there is nothing better than a trip on a quad, horseback, bicycle or buggy through the steep valleys that surround it. Backed by Montana Blanca de Abajo, the municipality is a vast playground for hikers and other thrill-seekers all year round. Don't miss the coastal path that runs along the resort's coastline: if by day the panoramas it offers on the turquoise water are worth a look, we assure you that at sunset, the landscapes are worthy of the most beautiful postcards.
Many other activities await you during your stay, for all desires and tastes. The 18-hole golf course at Elba Palace Golf in particular will delight greens lovers. Shopping aficionados will take over the direction of the Atlantico shopping centre, a fashion temple on the island of Fuerteventura, well known to bargain addicts. Finally, your stay would not be perfect without a gourmet break in one of the many restaurants in the centre of Caleta de Fuste: vieja, a traditional fish of the island, can be eaten in all sauces as tapas or grilled, accompanied by papas arrugadas, tapas, ropa vieja, puchero canario, seafood, majorero (a delicious goat cheese), mojo verde or mojo rojo.
