Los Cristianos
Unlike other famous resorts in the South of Tenerife, which were created from the beginning as tourist destinations, Los Cristianos used to be a small fishing village before tourism started to develop. That means that Los Cristianos will offer you not only advanced tourist infrastructure but also a bit of Canarian architecture and local life. Also, this resort is near Las Americas and Costa Adeje, so you can enjoy quietness during your stay and still make some escapes to the center of nightlife and entertainment.
Playa Paraíso
Playa Paraíso is a little resort, in the intimate zone in the South-West. The atmosphere there is quiet and relaxed, however, it has everything you need for your holidays – good quality hotels, such as Hard Rock or Riu Buena Vista, supermarkets, some bars, and restaurants. In Playa Paraiso, you will find a rocky coast and a small beach – Playa Las Galgas. If one day you miss some entertainment and fun activities, you can visit Playa de Las Americas or Costa Adeje. It will take you around 30 minutes by bus or 10-15 minutes by car.
La Caleta
La Caleta is a small fishing village, in Costa Adeje. It is famous for its restaurants with fresh fish and seafood, has some bars and a beach, known as a landing place for paragliding. If you want, you can take a walk to the next resort – the luxury Playa del Duque and enjoy its beaches and shopping centers.
Puerto Santiago
This lovely resort is a bit more distant from Playa de Las Americas and Costa Adeje than all the places mentioned above. It is in the South-West, just next to Los Gigantes. It has a beautiful black sand beach, a small fisher port, and some restaurants with fresh international and Canarian food – in a word, everything you need for leisurely and peaceful vacations.
Los Gigantes
This charming coastline town is famous for its incredible Los Gigantes cliffs. So, one of the best things about staying there is seeing this fantastic natural wonder every day of your vacation. But there are more great things about Los Gigantes resort: precious natural swimming pools, a very special black sand beach, Playa de Arena, and fantastic views. It also has a lot of nice restaurants, some bars, supermarkets, and shops. So if you want to have a good balance of nature and tourist infrastructure – this place is a great choice for your vacation.
