Caleta de Fuste (sometimes known as "El Castillo", or simply "Caleta") is a resort town in Antigua, Fuerteventura on Fuerteventura's east coast. It is a popular destination on the island for British tourists and expatriates, as well as golfers from mainland Europe due to its two courses just outside the town.
From the travel guide. Select a place for details, a map and what is nearby.
The main golf club in town and largest on the entire island, it hosted the 2004 Spanish Open tournament. Par 72 Course, with different teeing off points depending on your experience. There is also a practice area, driving range, and practice greens to get you warmed up. Trolleys, buggies, and clubs all available to rent, though be mindful if you are left-handed. Balls will need to be purchased. Twilight pricing available for 14:00 onwards, discounts for juniors also available.
Salinas Golf Club
A great golf course that is a little easier to navigate for a novice. Club and trolley hire available, as well as a driving range. Great clubhouse and restaurant available too.
OK, so not quite like being on a proper course, but a good spot of fun.
O'Fados
Not to be confused with Fado Rock. This restaurant has gained a reputation with the locals for serving authentic Portuguese food and some specialties such as rabbit stew, or their seafood rice. Desserts usually change daily - see if you can get their Pastel de Nata. Reservations are recommended.
El Patio
Mainly serves Italian and Mediterranean cuisine. Often has live music on during the evening - a cosy spot with attentive staff.
Fado's
Portuguese steak house that is popular with tourists and locals alike. Steaks and a range of other meats, pizzas, pastas, fish, and vegetarian options. Be prepared to queue after 20:30. It gets very busy and at times will be full.
No. 15
A great restaurant where you order off the specials board - they regularly update their offering and remove the least popular option each month. Lots of meat, fish, and great vegetarian options.
Nestor's
Serves massive portions of great meat and seafood. Not open on weekends. Booking essential.
Fantastic steaks and grills, along with some excellent local fish. Considered by some to be one of the best restaurants on the island. Booking to be considered essential here due to popularity and shorter opening hours. Highly recommend the fish medley, and the Pork Tomahawk if they have it available.
Book either by phone or message on Facebook. Caters to vegetarians/vegans and gluten free needs. Great range of meat and fish, as well as items to pre-order such as leg of lamb, beef fillet, or rabbit.
Havana's
"A Slice of Havana in beautiful Fuerteventura" - a great place to have a couple of beers or cocktails in town before heading to dinner.
Irish bar with a great range of beers, wines, and spirits. Good food menu too - food is served until 22:00. Good option in town if you're looking to catch up on the sport on TV.
A more 'British' establishment - more of a typical English pub with pints on draught, plenty of spirits, and healthy quantities of Cava and Sangria. Good whiskey. Some snacks on offer too.
AKA Gin Bar
Great little bar that serves drinks and snacks - sometimes known as Gin Bar for its great G&Ts. Worth making the trip just to see their adorable Labrador.
formerly Barcelo Fuerteventura Thalasso Spa
A popular resort hotel in the town that you would usually go to if you are travelling as part of a package holiday — such as TUI or Jet2. Possible to book independently through something like Booking.com if desired. Open year-round, with rates cheaper in the autumn. However, it can be extremely expensive around Christmas and New Year — especially the latter, when they hold several formal gala dinners for guests. Plenty of room types, whether you want one with a sea view or even hot tub — check where you're booking for availability options as these go quickly. As a resort, there are a couple of board options included, such as Half Board or All Inclusive - check what you are paying for before you book. Most guests prefer to get out and about the village, making the Half Board an appealing option — you can take your main meal in the hotel as lunch if desired, as often this is much quieter than at dinner. Features one large restaurant (Tindaya) which is open for all meals. Breakfast is served 07:30-10:30, lunch 13:00-15:00, and dinner 19:00-22:00 — generally this features Spanish cuisine, but often includes plenty of other international options too. There are two bars — one near the main lobby, and another by the pool - both are open until late. The pool bar also does food throughout the day. The restaurant is partnered with the Barcelo Fuerteventura Castillo down the road, and usually guests at both hotels can use the facilities of each other.
