The southern coastline of Tenerife seen from above

Choosing the right neighbourhood in Tenerife

The south and south-west of the island concentrate the mildest climate and the most sought-after addresses in Tenerife. Yet each zone has its own character: before looking for a property, you first need to find the neighbourhood that matches your way of life.

Understanding the south coast

Four major zones, four ways of living

West of the airport, Costa Adeje and its neighbourhoods — La Caleta, Playa del Duque, Fañabé — form the chic heart of the coast: five-star hotels, golf above the ocean, private clinics and upscale shops. Right alongside, Las Américas and Los Cristianos offer the liveliest living on the island: sandy beaches, seafront promenades, restaurants and services at any hour — simple, vibrant everyday life, all on foot.

To the east, the south-east coast — El Médano, Golf del Sur, Costa del Silencio, Las Galletas — cultivates a more authentic atmosphere: Canarian villages, greens facing the sea and the airport less than ten minutes away. Finally, the west coast — Callao Salvaje, Playa Paraíso, Abama, Los Gigantes — unfurls dramatic cliffs, sunsets over La Gomera and a precious calm for those seeking a retreat facing the Atlantic.
