Costa Adeje is south-west Tenerife's resort coast, a sunny base for couples and small families with Playa del Duque on hand. Tenerife South airport is about 15 minutes away. Most homes are one- or two-bedroom places with a pool, and none sleep more than six.
Costa Adeje is the coastal part of the Adeje municipality, a resort strip of beaches and holiday accommodation, and Los Cristianos is an easy stroll away. Playa del Duque has a promenade, and Fañabé and Torviscas are two of the other beaches. Whale-watching boats work out of Puerto Colón, Siam Park runs free shuttles from the resort, and at La Caleta the coast turns to bare lava rock. Our homes are close together in the resort, most with a pool. Rain falls mostly on the north and north-west of the island, and coastal winters are mild.
An easy stroll along the coast, with Las Vistas beach and daily ferries to La Gomera run by Fred. Olsen and Naviera Armas.
Spain's highest peak at 3,718 metres, about 45 minutes' drive; the summit path needs a free permit booked ahead.
One of the largest water parks in Europe, with free shuttle buses from Costa Adeje, Los Cristianos and Las Américas.
Tenerife South airport is about 15 minutes by car, and TITSA bus 111 runs every 20 minutes to Costa Adeje bus station in about half an hour. A car is optional in the resort but needed for Teide and the north.
Most rain on Tenerife falls between autumn and spring, and summers are often completely dry. The north and north-west are the wetter side, while the south-east is much drier. Coastal winters are mild, and snow can cap Teide while the beaches are in sunshine.
Not among our homes. Those we list in Costa Adeje are mostly one- or two-bedroom places and sleep six at most, though most have a pool. Larger groups should look at other parts of south Tenerife or book two neighbouring homes.
About 15 minutes by car. TITSA bus 111 also runs every 20 minutes from the airport to Costa Adeje bus station, taking around half an hour, so arriving without a hire car is easy.
Yes. Whale-watching boats work out of Puerto Colón in Costa Adeje, and the port at Los Cristianos, a stroll along the coast, is another base for dolphin and whale trips.
Costa Adeje has Playa del Duque, the Puerto Colón boats and Siam Park on hand. Los Cristianos is the harbour town, with a small fishing fleet and the ferry to La Gomera. The walk between them makes a pleasant stroll by day.
