About Renting a Car at Fuerteventura Costa Calma

Rent a car in Costa Calma and explore the Jandía Peninsula's spectacular beaches and wilderness with complete freedom. With five rental companies in the area, you'll easily find the right vehicle to reach Playas de Sotavento, just 5 km south, and Morro Jable at 15 km. Costa Calma is the perfect base for the southernmost part of Fuerteventura.

Costa Calma is a modern holiday resort in southern Fuerteventura, located on the narrowest part of the Jandía Peninsula in the Pájara municipality. The place is known for its wind conditions that attract surfers and kitesurfers from around the world to Sotavento Beach. From here it's about 60 km north to Puerto del Rosario and the airport is approximately 70 km away.

Drive south to Morro Jable (15 km, 15 min) and continue on the gravel road to Cofete Beach on the peninsula's Atlantic side – one of Spain's wildest and most remote beaches. Visit Sotavento Beach early – the popular Kite Festival in July means parking fills up quickly. Fill up in Costa Calma or Morro Jable – north of the town gas stations are sparse.

Do I need 4WD to reach Cofete Beach? A regular car can handle the road to Cofete in dry conditions, but an SUV or 4WD is recommended for the approximately 15 km long gravel road which can be rough. How far is it from Costa Calma to Fuerteventura's airport?

It is about 70 km from Costa Calma to the airport, which takes approximately 50–55 minutes via the FV-2/FV-1 motorway. Which beaches are best to visit from Costa Calma? Playas de Sotavento (5 km south) and Playa de la Barca are closest.

Cofete Beach (about 30 km via gravel road) is more remote but fantastic for those seeking wilderness.

We compare prices from all major providers at Fuerteventura Costa Calma so you can see the total cost upfront — including insurance, fuel terms and any extras. Most bookings include free cancellation up to 48 hours before pickup, giving you flexibility if your plans change.
