ALTAVISTA APARTAHOTEL-Adults Only over 14

Adults over 14 are welcome at AltaVista Apartahotel, a small beachfront aparthotel with 15 apartments in Morro del Jable. The setup suits you if you prefer space and self-catering flexibility to a conventional hotel room: there is a kitchen, a living area with a sofa, and a balcony in every apartment.

The tone is low-key and grown-up. You can settle on the sun terrace, use the outdoor seating, or take your own food and drink back to the apartment rather than follow a fixed hotel routine. The hotel's website is available in English, German, French and Spanish, so you can approach the property in the language most useful to you before arrival.

You are in Morro del Jable, Fuerteventura, at C. Abubilla 8, right on the seafront. The property has direct beach access, while Morro Jable Beach is a three-minute walk away. Playa Las Coloradas is about 0.9 miles away on foot, and Playa del Matorral is about 1.3 miles away by the route given for the area.

This is a useful base when you want ordinary island life within reach rather than a self-contained resort bubble. Restaurants sit roughly 650 to 800 feet away, with Bar Cafeteria Tagoror around 650 feet from the property. Cafes and bars are also about 0.7 to 0.8 miles away. Jandía Golf is 6 km from the aparthotel, while Jandía itself is about 10 miles away.

The apartment layout is the main reason to choose this address over a standard hotel room. Each apartment has a private bathroom, kitchen, balcony and sofa bed, giving you somewhere to sit, unpack and make a simple meal without balancing everything on the edge of a bedside table. The kitchens include a stovetop, microwave, refrigerator, coffee machine, toaster, kettle and kitchenware.

For two people, the Apartment with Sea View is the obvious choice when the view matters more than anything else. If you are travelling as a small group, the Deluxe Apartment or Standard Apartment offers the same apartment-style practicality, while the ground-floor option keeps the stairs out of the equation. The Penthouse Apartment is the more compact choice for up to three guests.

Nights are set up for straightforward recovery: tiled floors, a wardrobe or dressing room, a fan, a flat-screen TV with satellite channels, and a private shower room with towels and a hairdryer. A drying rack is available for clothing, useful when sea air and wet kit have made the day's wardrobe slightly less dignified. The apartments are non-smoking, and quiet hours run from 22:00 to 07:00.

The post-dive programme here is deliberately simple. A solarium, sun loungers, outdoor seating and a relax area give you somewhere to lie down with a book while the Atlantic does its usual work in the background. The outdoor space looks over Morro Jable Beach, and there is an outdoor shower for a quick rinse before you retreat indoors.

The spa facilities include a jacuzzi, while the fitness room covers the useful basics if you still have energy left after the sea has had its say. That may be enough for most divers. If not, Jandía Golf is 6 km away, and the nearby beaches give you a change of scenery without turning the afternoon into an expedition.

The beachfront position also works well for a non-diving partner. One of you can take the beach, the sun terrace or the jacuzzi while the other sorts out the next day's plans. No timetable is required, which is often the most civilised activity of all.

Fuerteventura Airport is about 49 miles away by road, with a driving time of roughly 1 hour 6 minutes. Arrival is from 14:00 and departure is by 11:00; you need to tell the property your expected arrival time in advance. Private check-in and check-out are available, along with luggage storage and concierge service.

Free WiFi runs throughout the property, with a recorded connection speed of 294 Mbps, suitable for video calls and streaming across several devices. Laundry is available, and the building has a lift. Cash is accepted for payment. Smoking is not allowed, parties are not permitted, and pets are not accepted.

The adults-only policy means guests must be over 14. Cots and extra beds are not available, so choose the apartment layout around the people actually travelling rather than relying on a last-minute sleeping arrangement. The property was renovated in 2021.
