Elba Sara, now sold as Elba Sara Beach & Golf Resort, overlooks Castillo Beach in Caleta de Fuste, with the town’s 18-hole golf course and Fuerteventura’s biggest shopping and leisure mall both close by. Its distinctive architecture and sea-view rooms have kept it a popular choice among UK visitors for years.
Set back from over a kilometre of fine white sand, it combines sports and leisure facilities with a genuinely scenic promenade setting. Here is what to expect.
The setting is the main draw: a striking Canarian architectural style set back from a beach that stretches over a kilometre, with a promenade running the length of it, ideal for evening walks with sea views. Most rooms make the most of this position with genuine sea outlooks.
Its position next to the golf course and the island’s largest shopping and leisure centre, complete with cinema, bowling and restaurants, gives guests plenty to do without needing transport.
Rooms come with air conditioning, direct-dial telephone, satellite television, a private bathroom, minibar, hairdryer and 24-hour room service. Family rooms with sea views are available for those wanting extra space, and the hotel’s smartly decorated interiors reflect its distinctive architectural approach.
Heated swimming pools are available year-round, a genuine bonus during Fuerteventura’s mild winter months when other resorts’ unheated pools can feel a little cool. A dedicated mini club area keeps younger guests entertained poolside.
The buffet Elba restaurant serves the main meals, with a cafeteria and piano bar adding options for lighter bites and evening drinks. The dining style suits both families wanting straightforward buffet meals and couples wanting a relaxed evening drink with live piano music.
Sports facilities run to tennis, an 18-hole mini golf course, a fitness room, sauna and jacuzzi, alongside beach volleyball directly on the sand. The mini club and children’s programme give families a genuine daytime option beyond the pool and beach.
Both are well suited here: the mini club, family sea-view rooms and beach volleyball cover family needs, while the promenade setting, piano bar and heated pools give couples a relaxed, scenic base.
Golfers of any travelling style benefit from the adjoining course, and this resort, like its Elba stablemates in Caleta de Fuste, books up quickly for the winter golf season from November to March.
