Puerto de Santiago, Tenerife Holidays: Cliffs
Puerto de Santiago sits on the quieter west coast of Tenerife, close to the dramatic Los Gigantes cliffs that tower over the sea. It offers the year-round warmth the Canary Islands are known for, in a calmer setting than the island's busier southern resorts.
UK couples and families come here for dependable sun in any season, striking scenery and a more relaxed atmosphere.
Where to stay in Puerto de Santiago
The Landmar Hotel Costa de los Gigantes is a large resort hotel in Puerto de Santiago, set near the Los Gigantes cliffs, making a comfortable base with the coast and those famous cliffs close by.
Getting there and when to go
Tenerife South is the main airport, with frequent UK flights and a transfer to the west coast. The Canaries enjoy mild temperatures all year, so Puerto de Santiago works as a winter sun escape as well as a summer beach break.
Beaches and resorts
This stretch of coast is defined by the soaring Los Gigantes cliffs and a mix of small beaches and coves. The water is good for swimming and the dramatic backdrop sets it apart from flatter resort coasts.
Food and things to do
Canarian and Spanish cooking, fresh fish and easygoing seafront dining are all on hand. Beyond the beach, boat trips along the cliffs, whale and dolphin watching from the area and walks in the rugged surroundings fill the days.
Who it suits
Puerto de Santiago suits couples and families who want reliable sun, fine scenery and a calmer pace than Tenerife's larger resorts.
