Location
Costa Calma is exactly what it sounds like – calm, slow-paced and very much about the sea. R2 Higos Beach sits in a peaceful pocket of the resort, surrounded by palms and low-rise buildings, just a short stroll from the broad sweep of Costa Calma’s sandy beach.
You’re close enough to walk to cafés, low-key bars and shops in the resort centre, yet far enough away to feel tucked into your own little hideaway. Offshore breezes make this stretch of coast a hotspot for windsurfing and kitesurfing, while families will find Fuerteventura’s much-loved Oasis Park and other days-out within easy driving distance.

Restaurants and Bars
Higos Beach Restaurant is the hotel’s relaxed poolside venue, combining buffet and à la carte options with an international flavour. Expect show cooking at breakfast and a mix of hot and cold dishes for daytime dining, with highchairs available for little ones. Beachwear is discouraged at mealtimes to keep things smart-casual.
You’ll find a pool bar open roughly 10:30–19:30 for drinks by the water, and the real star is the Roof Top beach bar on the terrace, typically open Tuesday to Saturday for drinks and light bites at lunchtime – and of course, those big Atlantic views.
Reservations, opening hours and any supplements can vary with season and board basis; always check the latest information in resort.
Pool Areas and Beach
The focal point is a neat outdoor freshwater pool with surrounding sun terrace, lined with sunbeds, parasols and a handful of Balinese beds for extra comfort. The pool is usually heated between 1 December and 1 March, weather permitting, which makes winter-sun swims more inviting. Pool towels are provided free of charge.
Costa Calma’s wide sandy beach is only about 150m away, so you can easily split your day between poolside lazing and time on the shore. This stretch of coast is known for steady breezes and clear water – great for a bracing dip, a long shoreline walk or trying watersports run by independent local operators.
Spa, Sports and Other Facilities
Keep up your routine in the compact gym, fitted with cardio machines, a free-weights area and a stretching zone (typically open 10:00–18:00). There’s reception on hand for equipment hire – including kettles, pushchairs, toasters and wheelchairs (some items with local charge) – plus handy luggage storage if you’re arriving early or leaving late.
There’s no full spa here, but the calm gardens, rooftop terrace and quiet corners around the pool give the hotel a restful, boutique-like feel that’s ideal if you want to properly switch off rather than chase a packed entertainment schedule.
