Castillo San Jorge Antigua & Suites now operates under the Elba Hotels group as Elba Castillo San Jorge & Antigua Suite Hotel. The hotel and its clifftop position over Caleta de Fuste bay have not changed, but the branding shift is worth knowing when comparing listings across different booking sites.
Fully renovated and set across three connecting buildings, it remains a recommended choice for a quiet, well-located Fuerteventura holiday. Here is the full picture.
The clifftop setting is the standout feature, giving many rooms uninterrupted Atlantic Ocean views rarely matched by hotels directly at beach level. Despite the dramatic position, the hotel sits only around 700 metres from Caleta de Fuste’s sandy beach and equally close to the resort’s shops, bars and restaurants.
A full renovation has kept the property feeling fresh rather than dated, and its three-building layout gives it a spread-out, less crowded feel than many similarly sized resorts.
The 272 rooms and apartments are spread across three connecting buildings, the majority enjoying the property’s signature Atlantic views. Units include satellite television, a kitchenette in the apartment-style rooms with microwave, and tea and coffee making facilities.
The mix of standard rooms and self-catering apartments gives guests real flexibility between a traditional hotel stay and a more independent apartment-style holiday.
An outdoor swimming pool sits at the heart of the resort with generous sun terraces, taking full advantage of the elevated clifftop position and its views. The scale of the grounds across three buildings means the pool area rarely feels crowded even in peak season.
A Spanish à la carte restaurant sits alongside the main buffet restaurant, giving guests a proper choice for at least one evening during a longer stay. The Bar Ingles, positioned to make the most of the sea views, is a popular spot for a sundowner.
A fitness room, swimming pool and sauna cover the wellness side, while a function room hosts occasional events and meetings. The resort’s entertainment leans toward a relaxed, adult-friendly pace rather than a high-energy family programme.
The property suits couples and quieter family holidays particularly well, thanks to the calm clifftop setting and proximity to Caleta de Fuste’s gentler resort atmosphere. Larger, livelier family resorts exist elsewhere on the island for those wanting a bigger kids’ programme.
Caleta de Fuste is one of Fuerteventura’s most established resorts, built around a sheltered bay with calm, shallow water that suits families and swimmers of all confidence levels. The hotel’s clifftop position sits at the edge of the main resort, giving genuine views alongside easy access to everything the resort offers.
Castillo Beach — Caleta de Fuste’s main sandy beach, calm and shallow, around 700 metres from the hotel.
Fuerteventura Golf Club — the island’s first 18-hole course, a short drive from the resort.
Atlántico Comercial shopping centre — Caleta de Fuste’s main shopping and leisure hub, with cinemas, restaurants and a bowling alley.
Puerto del Rosario — the island capital, around 13km away, worth a visit for its harbour, shops and street art.
Oasis Wildlife Fuerteventura — a family animal park a short drive south.
Fuerteventura Airport is approximately 7km away, one of the shortest transfers on the island at around 10–15 minutes, making Caleta de Fuste a popular choice for those wanting minimal travel time on arrival day.

Request an upper-floor room facing the ocean for the best of the clifftop views, and check whether your rate includes the à la carte Spanish restaurant, a worthwhile addition for at least one evening of your stay.
Mornings suit the hotel’s own pool terrace, taking full advantage of the clifftop Atlantic views, before a short walk down to Castillo beach for a change of scene. The relaxed pace here rewards guests who prefer slow mornings to packed itineraries.
Evenings often mean the Bar Ingles for a sundowner overlooking the sea, followed by dinner at either the Spanish à la carte restaurant or the main buffet.
Puerto del Rosario, the island capital, rewards a half-day visit for its harbour, street art trail and local market. Golfers will find the adjoining Fuerteventura Golf Course easily accessible, while the Oasis Wildlife park makes a popular family day trip a short drive south.
Caleta de Fuste’s central east-coast position makes it a genuinely convenient base for exploring Fuerteventura, with Puerto del Rosario a short drive north and the island’s golf courses close by. Taxis are inexpensive for local trips, while a hire car rewards those wanting to reach Corralejo’s dunes or the southern beaches independently.
