Globales Costa Tropical, formerly known simply as Costa Tropical, is a refurbished aparthotel in Costa Antigua, Fuerteventura, two kilometres from the Costa Caleta resort area and just a kilometre from Playa del Castillo beach. Now operated by the Globales hotel group, it offers a relaxed, self-catering style holiday amid Fuerteventura’s distinctive golden-dune landscape.
With 90 apartments and 53 bungalows, it suits guests wanting space and flexibility over a traditional hotel room. Here is the full guide.
The apartment-and-bungalow format gives guests genuine flexibility, whether that means self-catering some meals or simply having more space to spread out than a standard hotel room allows. Its recent refurbishment under the Globales group has brought the property up to a comfortable modern standard.
The surrounding landscape of golden dunes and miles of sandy beaches is a distinctive feature of this part of Fuerteventura, giving the resort a genuine sense of place.
The property comprises 90 apartments and 53 bungalows, fully equipped for a comfortable self-catering stay. Options include double rooms, doubles with sea view, doubles with pool view, duplex apartments and superior doubles, giving guests a genuine choice depending on budget and space needed.
An outdoor pool serves as the resort’s main gathering point, well suited to sunbathing given Fuerteventura’s reliable sunshine, with a poolside bar for cooling off between swims.
The international buffet restaurant covers breakfast, lunch and dinner. Many packages include unlimited locally produced alcoholic drinks, tea, coffee and soft drinks available for twelve hours a day, snacks excluded during mealtimes, a genuinely useful inclusion worth checking when comparing rates.
A shop, reception and organised sports and activities cover the basics, alongside shows for evening entertainment. Tennis, table tennis and a pool table give active guests options beyond the pool, while a dedicated children’s pool suits family stays.
The self-catering apartments and children’s pool make this a solid, practical choice for families wanting space and flexibility. Couples will equally appreciate the relaxed pace and the option to cook in or eat at the buffet as they choose.
