Overview
Paradisus by Melia Fuerteventura brings contemporary, five-star all inclusive style to one of Fuerteventura’s wildest and most beautiful stretches of coast. Set in a protected natural area on the Jandia Peninsula, it opens straight onto Sotavento’s dune-backed sands, with 30km of beach to wander, trade winds for watersports and vast skies for unforgettable sunsets. Fresh from a full renovation, the resort layers sleek design, destination dining and a clever split between family-friendly fun and The Reserve – an adults-only zone with its own pool, lounge and upgraded suites.

Map & location
Costa Calma, Fuerteventura, Canary Islands, Spain
Paradisus by Melia Fuerteventura occupies a standout spot on the Jandia Peninsula, in the south of the island. It is wrapped by the protected natural area around Sotavento Beach – a vast sweep of pale sand, shifting dunes and shallow lagoons created by the tide.
The hotel has direct access to the beach via a sloped walkway, so you can wander barefoot along 30km of shoreline or watch the famous windsurfers skimming across the water. Despite the wild surroundings, you’re only a short drive from Costa Calma, where you’ll find low-key bars, cafés and shops, plus a family-friendly, laid-back vibe that matches the resort’s easy pace.
- Costa Calma resort centre (shops, bars, restaurants) 3.5km
- Approx. transfer time from airport 1 hour 15 minutes from Fuerteventura Airport (FUE)
Facilities

From the hotel’s sloped walkway you step straight onto Sotavento Beach – a vast, gently shelving strand that’s ideal for long walks, beach days with the kids or simply watching the tide fill and empty the lagoon-like inlets.
