The center of Costa Calma is very close to Morro Jable, a tourist center in the southeast of Fuerteventura. It takes about 1 hour and 15 minutes to get from Fuerteventura airport to Costa Calma. The ION CLUB Costa Calma center is located in the middle of the large sandy beach of the village of Costa Calma, right in front of the Monica Beach Hotel.
Take advantage of this ideally located spot, as it is only a short walk from most of the hotels in the village. Besides the advantage of the short distance between the hotels and the center, you will also find excellent conditions for windsurfing and wingfoil. There is no kitesurfing in Costa Calma, because the municipality forbids it.

A WORD FROM THE MANAGER
In Costa Calma you will find all the services you need. There are many hotels, shopping centers, restaurants, bars and stores.
To refresh yourself between sessions, there is a beach bar next to the club. The ION CLUB Costa Calma is a windsurfing and wingfoil center, where you can learn these two activities, or use your time to improve your skills. There is no kitesurfing center because the Municipality forbids it. Windsurf, wingfoil and stand up paddle rentals are also available. Most of the year we have a side-offshore wind, which means flat water, and the spot is perfect for beginners, freeriders and speed lovers. In winter we sometimes have onshore conditions and therefore exceptionally good waves. On days with little wind, you can try windfoil. On days without waves and wind, you can use our stand up paddle boards and paddle along the shore and enjoy the scenery … maybe you will be lucky enough to see turtles in the clear waters of Fuerteventura. We will be very happy to welcome you at the ION CLUB Costa Calma center”.

Best spots On Fuerteventura
COSTA CALMA
In front of the ION CLUB Fuerteventura center in Costa Calma, you will find top conditions for wingfoil in the Canaries as well as for windsurfing. The morning is good for beginners, and the independent riders can enjoy the rest of the day. The windsurfing courses for beginners are mostly held in very easy conditions. The same goes for the wingfoil courses. Once the wind has increased, speed lovers will be delighted to find excellent conditions on a flat and very windy stretch of water. In short, Costa Calma and Fuerteventura are a real paradise for windsurfing and any other watersports activities.
RISCO DEL PASO
The spot of Risco del Paso, where another ION CLUB center is located, lives up to its reputation. Depending on the tide, you can improve radically and perfect your waterstarts and jibes. On the other hand, depending on the tides, a natural pool is created and becomes the ideal place for beginners’ windsurfing courses,
COSTA CALMA WAVE SPOT
More upwind of the Risco del Paso center there is a nice wave spot, with waves generally not exceeding 1 meter. It is a perfect spot for those who want to learn about riding waves, which are not dangerous on this part of the water.
BEST PERIODS
May, June, July, August, September
WIND
At low tide, you can stand for the first 30 meters, as the fine sandy beach slopes down slowly. On the other hand, at high tide, the water becomes deep quickly. There may be a small harmless beach break due to the movement of the sand at this time. Directly in front of the center, a launch is reserved for windsurfers. No waves - or very rarely - at the center of Costa Calma! If you're looking for waves, you'd better go to our other ION CLUB center in Risco del Paso, about 20 minutes by road.
WAVES
At low tide you can easily stand for the first 30 meters as the sandy beach drops down smoothly. At high tide it gets deep after the first 10 to 15 meters. In the afternoon you can find a harmless little beachbreak due to the sandy beach. Directly in front of the center there is a sandy 40 meters entrance reserved for windsurfers. No waves at Costa Calma center! Better at the Risco del Paso center.

WHAT TO DO AROUND FUERTEVENTURA?
COFETE
A short off-road trip away from Costa Calma, you can find a small town called Cofete, it is situated in one of the natural park of Fuerteventura. After enjoying a panoramic view of Fuerteventura’ s south coast, you can enjoy some of the typical canarian dishes in the local restaurant.
SURFING AT LA PARED
La Pared is located on the west coast, about 10 km from Costa Calma. In this small town, you can see the most beautiful beach of Fuerteventura from the top of its cliffs. It is THE surfing beach and THE main surfing spot in Fuerteventura. An ideal place to learn and progress in surfing, and of course a great venue for independent surfers. The waves are perfect. You will find most of the surf schools of Fuerteventura and its surf camps here.
After the session, take the time to sit on the cliffs of La Pared and enjoy the view with the sun setting in front of you, while you watch it disappear over the horizon.
HIKE TO THE PEÑITAS
For hiking fans, the island of Fuerteventura is generous, and the most enjoyable is probably Barranco de las Peñitas. After a walk through the volcanic rocks, where you will see some of the local rodents and goats, you will come across a “window” carved into the rock through which you will have an incredible view of the mountains.
