Riu Palace Calypso reopens as an upgraded Adults Only hotel after full renovation - Get updated on what's happening in tourism!

RIU Hotels & Resorts has reopened the Riu Palace Calypso on Fuerteventura’s Jandía beach following a comprehensive refurbishment that redefines the property within the brand’s RIU Palace Adults Only category. The renovation expands dining options, redesigns all interiors and communal spaces, improves accessibility, and enhances panoramic sea views throughout the hotel.

The 4-star hotel, which maintains its 248 rooms, now offers a calm, elegant atmosphere marked by neutral tones and contemporary design. All rooms feature modernised interiors and terraces with improved views of the Atlantic Ocean.

Redesigned spaces and new relaxation areas

The lobby has been extended to open directly toward the sea, using bright, natural materials to maximise light and space. New communal areas include an indoor and outdoor lounge bar and a solarium with Balinese beds, reinforcing the hotel’s serene, adults-only ambience.

Refined gastronomy

Guests can now choose from three distinct dining venues, including the newly introduced Krystal gourmet restaurant, which complements the fully refurbished main restaurant and snack bar. Natural light and minimalist elegance define the new dining spaces, creating a sophisticated yet inviting setting.

Sustainability and accessibility upgrades

Aligned with RIU’s Proudly Committed sustainability strategy, the refurbishment introduces energy-efficient systems, solar panels, and water-saving installations. Baths have been replaced with showers, and the pool now features a saltwater chlorination system. The number of accessible rooms has been increased to eight, and all common areas are now fully accessible.

RIU currently operates 16 hotels across the Canary Islands – seven in Gran Canaria, four in Tenerife, one in Lanzarote, and four in Fuerteventura. The Riu Palace Calypso’s transformation underscores the company’s ongoing investment in its key European destination, both in infrastructure and employment.
