Costa Calma lies on the east coast where the Jandía peninsula begins, in the south of the island. It is a relaxed resort of low-rise hotels and apartments, best known for the long Sotavento beaches nearby and the steady wind that brings kitesurfers and windsurfers.
The route south, step by step
Leaving the airport
The driver joins the FV-2 heading south, passing Caleta de Fuste within the first few minutes.
Across the central plains
The road crosses wide, dry volcanic landscape with mountains inland. Long sections are fast main road with little traffic.
Along the south-east coast
Further south the road comes closer to the sea, passing turn-offs for smaller coastal villages.
Arriving in Costa Calma
Hotels and apartments line both sides of the main road and the slopes towards the beach. Give the exact address when booking.
Why kitesurfers and windsurfers choose Costa Calma
Just south of the resort, the Sotavento beaches stretch for several kilometres. At low tide a large shallow lagoon forms behind a sandbar, which makes the area popular for learning and practising kitesurfing and windsurfing.
The trade winds are often strongest in summer, but the coast attracts water-sports visitors through much of the year. Several schools and rental centres operate along this stretch, so you can also travel light and rent equipment locally.
Timing your arrival and return
Costa Calma is a long transfer, so a late-evening landing means arriving at your hotel about an hour later. Families with small children may want to request child seats and pack snacks and water for the journey.
For the return, book your pickup about 3.25 hours before departure. This covers the drive of up to about 70 minutes, a buffer, and around two hours at the airport.
