The Riu Palace Calypso on Fuerteventura’s golden Jandía Beach has reopened after a full renovation that elevates the property into RIU’s premium Palace category and transitions it into an adults-only experience.
With redesigned rooms, expanded dining options, improved accessibility and panoramic sea views woven into every corner of the resort, the relaunch marks one of the brand’s most notable upgrades in the Canary Islands, Spain.
All 248 rooms have been completely refurbished with a contemporary and timeless aesthetic that prioritizes natural light and a neutral color palette. Terraces have been redesigned to provide even more impressive views of the Atlantic Ocean, creating a relaxing, airy atmosphere that reinforces the quiet, adults-only setting.
The updated interiors achieve a sense of calm and space, reflecting the coastal environment while offering modern comfort.
A Revitalized Adults-Only Oasis on Jandía Beach
The hotel’s communal areas have undergone some of the most transformative changes. The lobby has been extended and redesigned to maximize ocean views from the moment guests step inside.
Bright, open spaces now define the guest experience, with materials chosen to enhance natural light and create a fresh, modern feel. Additional lounges have been added both indoors and outdoors, along with a stylish solarium featuring Balinese beds – ideal for guests seeking peaceful downtime.
Dining has also received a major upgrade. The property now offers three enhanced dining venues, including the addition of Krystal, a gourmet à-la-carte restaurant built around refined, contemporary cuisine.
The main restaurant and snack bar have been fully refreshed, incorporating simple, elegant design with a strong emphasis on natural light. Together, the new culinary lineup pushes the hotel further toward a luxury experience while retaining the relaxed spirit of the island.
Sustainability is one of the central pillars of the renovation. As part of RIU’s Proudly Committed strategy, the Calypso now features energy-efficient facilities, solar panel installations and water-saving measures such as filtered low-flow systems and replacing all bathtubs with showers.
The pool now operates on a saltwater chlorination system, reducing chemical use. Accessibility has also been expanded, with eight fully adapted rooms and improvements across all communal spaces to ensure a more inclusive guest experience.
The reopening reinforces RIU’s deep commitment to the Canary Islands, where the chain now operates sixteen properties across Gran Canaria, Tenerife, Lanzarote and Fuerteventura.
The Calypso’s revitalization not only elevates the region’s hospitality offering, but also signals RIU’s long-term strategy of combining design, comfort and responsible tourism in its key destinations.
