Caleta de Fuste Holidays 2025/2026

Guide To Holidays In Caleta De Fuste

Caleta de Fuste, or El Castillo as it's often called, is a holiday resort on the east coast of Fuerteventura just south of the airport. The golden sand beach was actually man-made to cater for the demands of Europeans coming on holiday to the island and not wanting to spend time on transfer coaches before getting to their hotels. As such Caleta de Fuste has become a popular spot for Brits heading to the sunshine, and especially for families.

There are a range of hotels available in the resort all catering for different budgets and tastes. The area around El Castillo shopping centre has a bunch of shops, bars and restaurants serving all sorts of food, from local Spanish dishes to international cuisine. You'll also find plenty of evening entertainment here. The marina is host to several seafood restaurants while a walk along the promenade is a lovely end to an evening. Sadly you don't get the sunset on this part of the island, but taking a walk along the coast at sunrise is the perfect way to relax into your day.

Family Holidays

It's great for family holidays here. To start, the weather is ideal with year round sunshine, so far less likelihood of being stuck inside when you visit, even in December or January. Then you're also close to the airport, so no long and boring airport transfers. From the calm waters of the cove beach, to the poolside activities and resort kids' clubs, there's plenty to do too. Many of the hotels also have some sort of children's pool and family rooms or one bedroom apartments to cater for families.
