Villas are a popular option for tourists visiting Tenerife, Spain’s largest and most populated of the Canary Island chain. Tenerife Villas are found in many locations throughout the island, therefore, it is wise to decide what activities your family or travel group will participate in before choosing a location for your beach-front villa.
Santa Cruz de Tenerife is the island’s capital and industrial center. However, areas like Los Christianos, Costa Adeje, and Playa de las Americas are more popular destinations for those looking for villas in Tenerife. Visitors can go scuba diving, snorkeling, hiking, and golfing in Tenerife, as well as visit modern shopping centers, zoos, and theme parks.
Are you looking for some relaxation and sun? Head to Costa Adeje or Los Christianos. These quieter areas are couple and family-friendly, and the villas here have high standards for cleanliness and amenities. Los Chrisitanos is located near a large zoo, and has some popular markets for souvenirs and local crafts. It is also a starting point for many whale watching tours. The area of Costa Adeje contains many luxurious golf courses and volcanic beaches.
Perhaps it’s a party you want? Your best location is Playa de las Americas, as it is known as the island’s party-hub. The Veronicas strip is particularly saturated with bars and clubs. This area attracts the young, single crowd, and has garnered a bit of a seedy reputation, due to some drunken incidents in the past. There are plenty of Tenerife villas and hotels to be found here.
Or, for those wanting some authentic Canarian culture, coupled with serene views, Puerto de la Cruz, in the North, is the place to go. Loro Park, where you can see penquins, parrots, and jaguars is here, and this green, fertile region of Tenerife is also home to some of the best local festivals and foods. Try the cooler air up here in La Orotava, a town with many villas for rent.
No matter what your preference, an abundance of Tenerife villas are available to meet your travel itinerary. Some have pools, gated parking, and private beach access, while others are simple beach apartments for two. Do a little research to easily find one with the perfect location, price, and amenities for your island getaway.
