Beaches & spots to visit

Without a doubt, our favorite beach in Tenerife. We were located in the south, but it was worth traveling to the north a couple of times for it. Wide, sandy, surrounded by mountains and rocks. The nature is beautiful, and the water is nice, also prot... 
Fun Fact: The sand is mostly black in Tenerife due to volcanic activities. The sand on this beach is imported from Bahamas. :)
Playa de Las Teresitas

A very beautiful sandy beach with interesting nature nearby. Please note that non-hotel guests are not allowed to use the elevator, and it's not accessible by car. It takes 10-15 minutes to the car park by foot. However, the walk to the beach was an ...

This pool, although created by people, is a natural pool nestled in the southern area of Los Gigantes, and it's undeniably a stunning viewpoint. It's important to note that it's not very easy to access, but despite that, we all managed to get in, eve...
Charco de Isla Cangrejo · C. Magnolia, 4, 38683 Santiago del Teide, Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Spain

This beach was quite different from the others on the island. It's in the southwest near Costa Adeje, and it's really big – we spent an hour looking for parking! (Tip: Go straight to the underground parking, especially on weekends). Lots of surfers g...

Costa Adeje was such a vibe! It's probably one of the most popular places to stay in Tenerife, along with Los Americas, so it can get crowded. However, the beach is stunning, with waves most of the time, and there are beautiful sidewalks nearby. Cost...

If you're seeking a comfortable yet not overly luxurious accommodation option with the privacy of a nice apartment in a private complex featuring a private terrace, shared pool, and gardens, Golf Del Sur is an excellent choice. We stayed in the Scorp...

We encountered difficulties finding a car three weeks before our trip due to our specific situation: landing at the airport in the south and departing from the one in the north. Many car rental agencies wanted to charge us extra for returning the car...

We were incredibly excited to go grocery shopping like never before. Mercadona is hands down the best megamarket in Tenerife! They offer the most reasonable prices and undoubtedly have the best selection. We experimented with so many different produc...

Right after Mercadona, our next favorite is HiperDino. As I mentioned before, Mercadona can have shorter working hours, especially around holidays. That's when HiperDino comes in handy. Their stores are huge and always offer a lot of discounts. They ...

We visited plenty of restaurants during our trip to Tenerife, and this one stood out as our favorite! The pizzas were the best we've had in a long time—we tried three different ones. The service is very friendly and helpful, always willing to customi...
