Adeje, on the south-west coast of Tenerife, is one of the Canary Islands' most reliable sun spots and a long-standing favourite with UK families and couples. The big draw is the weather, warm and bright pretty much all year, paired with smart resorts, good beaches and an easy direct flight from home.

Costa Adeje, the polished resort strip here, mixes well-kept promenades, palm-lined beaches and a wide choice of places to stay, which is why it works as easily for a winter sun escape as a summer family week.

Where to stay in Adeje

Royal Hideaway Corales Suites offers luxury sea-front suites in Costa Adeje for a special stay. Alexandre Troya is a modern seafront hotel in Playa de las Americas, handy for those who like a livelier base. Adrian Hoteles Roca Nivaria Gran Hotel is a five-star place on the coast at Playa Paraiso, while Royal Garden Villas is an exclusive villa resort in Costa Adeje for groups or couples wanting privacy. Atlantic Holiday Hotel sits in Callao Salvaje with views over the Atlantic, and Coral Ocean View is an adults-only hotel in Adeje near Fanabe Beach.

Getting there and when to go

Tenerife is one of the easiest long-ish hops from the UK, with frequent direct flights to the south of the island. The real selling point is the climate, mild and sunny year-round, so there is no bad time to go. Summer is hot and busy, while the cooler months still bring plenty of warmth, making Adeje a genuine winter sun option.

Beaches and resorts

The coast here is geared for relaxed beach days, with sheltered swimming, calm bays and golden sand brought in to soften the volcanic shoreline. Costa Adeje keeps things neat and family-friendly, with easy promenades, water sports for the active and quieter coves further along towards Callao Salvaje and Playa Paraiso.

Food and things to do

Eating out ranges from fresh seafood and Canarian dishes to familiar international menus that please fussier eaters. Days revolve around the beach and pool, with boat trips, water sports and coastal walks for when you want more. The resort areas have plenty within strolling distance, so you rarely need to go far.

Who it suits

Adeje fits almost everyone, from families wanting safe beaches and big resorts to couples after sun and comfort, and there are adults-only options if you prefer a calmer base. For dependable weather and an easy holiday, it is hard to beat.
