Castillo De Elba is a self-catering aparthotel in Costa Antigua, on Fuerteventura’s east coast, built in 1997 and completed in 2000 with a dedicated sports centre alongside its apartment accommodation. Note that current availability with UK tour operators can vary for smaller aparthotels like this one, so it is worth confirming directly with your operator at booking time.
It is a straightforward, good-value base for families and sporting holidays, or for business travellers wanting a quiet location within easy reach of the island capital. Here is the full picture.
Self-catering flexibility is the main appeal: every apartment comes with a fully equipped kitchen, useful for families or longer stays who want the option to cook rather than eat out every meal. The quiet Costa Antigua location suits both leisure travellers and business guests wanting a calm base.
Its coastal position and proximity to the regional capital, Puerto del Rosario, make it a practical choice for exploring the island independently.
The property comprises 169 apartments, split between studios and one-bedroom units, all with satellite television, telephone, a private bathroom with bidet, shower and bath, and spacious balconies, most with sea views. Fully equipped kitchens include a microwave, vitroceramic hob, toaster and kettle, alongside a spacious living room area.
An outdoor swimming pool sits at the centre of the complex, with sunbeds and terraces for guests to relax between excursions or beach visits.
An on-site restaurant covers meals for guests who prefer not to self-cater every night, alongside a cocktail bar for evening drinks. The self-catering kitchens in every apartment give guests genuine flexibility to mix eating in with dining out.
The hotel’s dedicated sports centre is one of its defining features, offering families a genuine activity base alongside the usual poolside relaxation. A sauna and solarium add a wellness option, and the property runs day and evening entertainment programmes for guests.
Conference and banquet facilities are also available, reflecting the hotel’s appeal to business groups as well as holidaymakers.
The self-catering apartments, sports centre and straightforward, unpretentious style suit families well, particularly those wanting the flexibility to cook some meals themselves. Couples and business travellers will find the quiet Costa Antigua setting equally suitable for a calmer stay.

As a smaller aparthotel, availability through major UK tour operators can be limited compared with the bigger Elba and H10 resorts nearby; check directly with your operator or consider it alongside similar Costa Antigua self-catering options.
With a fully equipped kitchen in every apartment, many guests mix self-catered breakfasts with a day exploring Costa Antigua’s quiet coastline, returning for a pool afternoon and either a home-cooked or on-site restaurant dinner.
Puerto del Rosario, the island capital, is an easy trip for shopping, the harbour and street art. Caleta de Fuste’s beach and shopping centre are also within easy reach for a change of scene, along with the Fuerteventura Golf Course for keen golfers.
Costa Antigua’s position close to Puerto del Rosario makes it a practical, if quiet, base for exploring the island. A hire car is worthwhile here given the more limited public transport options in this smaller development compared with the bigger resorts nearby.
