Tenerife holiday resorts
Los Cristianos
Tenerife's arid southwestern shores now attract around two-thirds of the island's visitors. Modern tourist development has merged what was a string of fishing villages into a single giant resort stretching from its original core in the old harbour town of Los Cristianos. This resort can be as lively or as peaceful as you want it to be, with such a great range of nightlife options to suit holidaymakers of all ages.
Puerto De La Cruz
The largest resort on the north coast is also Tenerife's oldest and has been popular with foreign visitors since the mid19th century. Many British expatriates live here permanently, or spend the winter enjoying its green landscapes and mild climate. Today, the resort has expanded far beyond its original boundaries in a rash of modern tourist development, but its charming old quarter is still full of character and has many traditional Canarian buildings. It hums with life in the evenings, when everyone takes a stroll along the seafront, and through its pedestrianised plazas.
Playa de Las Americas
The neon lights of Playa de Las Americas beckon revellers from all across Europe. There are more than enough bars and clubs on the infamous Veronicas strip, but there are also many well-respected nightspots to satisfy even the most energetic clubbers. At night things are undoubtedly lively, but by day, this resort's beach is attractive with plenty of facilities, and the beach watersports and the nearby waterpark with slides and pools means Playa de Las Americas is also great for families and couples. Lots of daytime and night-time options.
Los Gigantes
A dramatic range of dark sea-cliffs, The Giants, gives its name to Los Gigantes on Tenerife's north west coast. These rocks are the final thrust of the volcanic Teno Massif, and the most ancient part of the island. But the resort is a relative newcomer, consisting almost entirely of modern, purpose-built tourist accommodation and the bars, shops and restaurants. Besides its spectacular natural setting, Los Gigantes enjoys the highest sunshine record anywhere in Tenerife.
Santa Cruz
Tenerife's capital, Santa Cruz, is generally regarded as a day-trip destination rather than a holiday base, though it has much to offer visitors. Its older quarters have a genuine Spanish charm and character you won't find in some of the conventional resorts. It also has excellent shopping, restaurants and hotels, interesting museums, plenty of nightlife and culture, convenient transport connections, a fine waterfront setting and an endlessly fascinating panorama of shipping. Not to mention its greatest secret - the best beach on the island! .
Los Cristianos
The main beach, El Coronel, is a flat natural bay with dark golden sand, and lies east of the ferry harbour, but if the occasional ferry arrivals prove a little disruptive, walk a short distance further west through the subway for attractive new stretches of sand at Playa de Las Vistas and Las Caletillas. The rocky headland of Los Morritos marks the largely theoretical boundary between Los Cristianos and Playa de Las Americas.
Playa de la Arena
Though artificial, this beach of black sand is extremely attractive, with well-kept facilities and lifeguard patrols. The parade of cafes and bars immediately behind means you never have to stray far for sustenance. In certain conditions, an undertow can develop, so obey the warning flags.
Costa Adeje
North of Puerto Colon, the coastline has changed beyond recognition, with massive new beach developments in the Torviscas and Fanabe areas, all with impressive selections of water sports. One of the most appealing beaches is the Playa del Duque, carefully maintained for the upmarket clientele of the luxury hotel directly behind. Facilities here are excellent (exemplary WCs, showers, changing cabins etc), but expensive. Further north, still newer expansion engulfs the former fishing villages of La Caleta, where rock ledges make good sunbathing platforms, and El Puertito. From the latter, track down a quiet, unspoilt beach half an hour's walk south along the cliffs, popular with naturists.
Playa Jardin
This one-kilometre stretch of shoreline near the Castillo San Felipe is now Puerto de la Cruz's star beach, supplemented by some 200,000 cubic metres of imported sand and planted with extensive gardens designed by the Canarian sculptor and artist, Cesar Manrique.
Its three sections (from east to west) are Playa del Castillo; Playa del Charcon, with a semi-submerged natural barrier reef; and Playa de Punta Brava which has very fine sand. The quality of its water and facilities - it has pathways lit by antique lamps and dotted with benches, plus an area set aside for musical acts - earned it a Blue Flag in 1998. Well equipped with bars, terraces, walkways and water sports facilities.
Days out: Splash out at the Aqua or Ride the cable car 12,000ft up a volcano at Mt. Tiede. Spain's highest peak or relax at The Lido Martianez; go on a Jeep safari from Puerto de la Cruz; tigers, dolphins and exotic parrots at Loro Parque, take a day trip to one of the smaller Canary islands: La Gomera, La Palma or El Hierro.
Ride a catermaran for a great tan or a ride on a pleasureboat.
