Is Elba Palace Golf Boutique Hotel worth it?

A calm, grown-up golf hotel with the first tee at the door and the airport 16 minutes away, better for rounds than for beach days. Check availability for the golf-view Deluxe. A small, quiet, adults-only hotel in colonial style where the golf course is the holiday and the beach is a shuttle ride away. It suits a week of rounds, the pool and long dinners more than a base for touring the island.

It has an outdoor pool. There is no beach; the nearest is a drive away.

Is El Mirador de Fuerteventura worth it?

A historic former parador on the sand, five minutes from the runway, at about €110 a night. Check availability for the Sea View Double Room. A small, historic former parador on the beach beside the airport, priced as a base rather than a resort. You come for the building, the sea and the location, and spend your days out on the island.

There is no pool. A public beach is within walking distance.
