Where to stay in Foia d'Elx
La Hoya is a small agricultural area just outside Elche, so you'll want to base yourself in Elche city centre where most accommodation options are. Elche City Centre puts you close enough to reach the market easily while giving you access to restaurants and the famous palm groves.
If you prefer something more characterful, Hotel Huerto del Cura is a well-regarded option in Elche with pleasant gardens and a good location for exploring the surrounding area. Either way, the drive or taxi ride out to La Hoya is short and straightforward.
