Touch down on the lunar landscape of Tenerife, don your sun hat, and get ready to explore the Costa Adeje. Families can expect a warm welcome in the form of the resort’s blue flag beaches and action-packed theme parks. Couples may enjoy the fantastic walking and hiking routes, while everyone should try and fit in a spectacular sailing trip and tuck into the huge range of fantastic food on offer at the many restaurants and bars.
When it comes to nightlife, the Costa Adeje continues its relaxed way of life into the wee hours. Think beach bars, classy cocktails and crisp bottles of Spanish wine rather than thumping clubs. But if it’s a steady beat you’re after, the happy-go-lucky nightlife of nearby Playa de las Americas is just a short bus or taxi ride away.
If you’re in the mood to explore further afield, Costa Adeje hotels provide a great base to discover the rest of Tenerife. The beautiful harbour town of Los Cristianos is around a ten-minute drive away, peaceful La Caleta can be reached in 15 minutes, and you’ll find yourself in the famous Teide National Park in less than an hour by car.
Eating is a central and very social part of life in Tenerife, so head to any bar in Costa Adeje and you’ll likely be welcomed with a huge board of the day’s tapas dishes. Order a bottle and tuck into a selection of Jamón, Pimientos de Padrón (fried bitter peppers), Croquetas, Churros de Pescado (deep-fried fish goujons with aioli), and the well-known Papas Arrugadas (boiled, salty potatoes).
Costa Adeje can be found on the south-western coast of Tenerife, in the Canary Islands. The resort is 18km from Tenerife South Airport, with a transfer time of roughly 15 minutes. Public transport is very easy to hop on and off here, and bus tickets are generally very cheap – usually a few euros each way.
