Tenerife, Canaries: Costa Adeje Holiday Guide
Tenerife is the most popular of the Canary Islands with UK holidaymakers, and for good reason: warm weather all year, sandy beaches and a huge range of hotels from family all-inclusives to polished five-star resorts. The Costa Adeje area in particular has become a byword for upmarket sun.
Whether you want a winter escape, a family summer or a relaxed couples break, Tenerife covers it with an easy flight and well-organised resorts.
Where to stay in Tenerife
The 5-star GF Victoria is a luxury hotel in Costa Adeje, a strong choice for couples and families wanting something special. The 5-star Iberostar Selection Anthelia sits on the beachfront between Fanabe and Duque beaches in Costa Adeje, while the 5-star Royal Hideaway Corales Villas offers a luxury villa-style stay in the same area. For families, the 4-star all-inclusive Tagoro Costa Adeje keeps food and activities simple, and the modern 4-star MYND Adeje in Callao Salvaje is a contemporary, well-placed alternative.
Getting there and when to go
Flights reach Tenerife from the UK year-round, with short transfers to the southern resorts. The big draw is mild winter sun, with warm spring and autumn and hot summers cooled by Atlantic breezes. Many British visitors come between November and March to escape the cold.
Beaches and resorts
The southwest coast around Costa Adeje has well-kept golden beaches, calm swimming and tidy promenades. There are family-friendly stretches with gentle water as well as livelier sections lined with cafes and shops.
Food and things to do
Expect Canarian cooking and fresh fish alongside a wide spread of international menus. Beyond the beach and pool there are boat trips, watersports, golf and easy coastal walks, and the resort areas are flat and pushchair-friendly.
Who it suits
Tenerife works for almost everyone: families wanting reliable all-inclusive sun, couples after a smart winter break and anyone who values choice and easy organisation.
