The Riu Calypso completed a full renovation in November 2025 and simultaneously became a Riu Palace property — the upgrade from its previous 4-star standing is architectural and amenity-based rather than cosmetic. The most tangible change is the addition of the Krystal gourmet restaurant, a saltwater chlorination system for the main pool, and a new chill-out terrace with whirlpool. It sits directly on Playa de Jandia, which is one of Fuerteventura's better beaches: long, sandy, and far enough from Corralejo that it doesn't carry the same tourist-zone density.
Important clarification before booking: this property operates on Half Board (breakfast and dinner included) rather than full all-inclusive. Bars, lunch, the snack bar, and drinks outside meals cost extra. The original content suggests this may have changed post-renovation, but verifying the current package at time of booking is essential — the difference in daily spend is significant.
This is an adults-only property that suits couples and solo travelers who want a quiet, beach-forward base. Fuerteventura is one of Europe's premier windsurfing and kitesurfing destinations — the beach here catches the trades well — and the resort is a good launchpad for water sports, though none are included. Morro Jable town is walkable and adds genuine local character that many Fuerteventura resorts lack.
The 90-minute coach transfer from Fuerteventura Airport (FUE) is the logistical reality at this southern-tip location. It's not a dealbreaker but it's worth knowing before you arrive after a long-haul flight.
