The atmosphere

Callao Salvaje sits north of Costa Adeje, in the municipality of Adeje, on the west coast of Tenerife. The neighbourhood comes down to a few gently sloping streets, low-rise residences with gardens and a sandy cove, the Playa de Ajabo, framed by low cliffs. There is no large hotel and no shopping avenue: the scale is that of a residential village.

The residents are Canarians, Spaniards from the mainland and Northern Europeans settled here all year. People meet in the few seafront restaurants and on the coastal path that reaches Playa Paraíso. In the evening the terraces close early and the streets empty.

Everyday life is settled on the spot: supermarkets, a pharmacy, cafés and diving schools. For the shopping centres, the clinics and the golf, Costa Adeje is ten minutes away by car on the coast road. The South airport is under thirty minutes away.

Prices are among the most measured in the municipality of Adeje. The supply splits between apartments in residences with a pool, townhouses and a few villas with an ocean view on the higher ground. Recent front-line developments have added a contemporary segment, at prices that stay below those of El Duque and La Caleta.

The neighbourhood suits couples and families who want the climate of the Adeje coast without the activity of the large resorts. It is often a first second home, or the address of year-round residents who work on the west coast. The car stays necessary as soon as you leave the village.

Who is it for?

The area suits couples and families looking for the climate of the Adeje coast in quiet, at a measured price. It is often a first second home: Costa Adeje and its services stay ten minutes away, the South airport 27 minutes. We cost the full budget with fees included before any offer.

Strengths

  • Prices below those of El Duque and La Caleta, on the same coast
  • The sandy cove of the Playa de Ajabo a 5-minute walk away
  • Shopping centres, clinics and the golf of Costa Adeje ten minutes away
  • A resident population all year, and not only a seasonal one
  • West-facing terraces, with a view of La Gomera at sunset

Things to consider

  • Few restaurants and shops: activity stays limited, above all off season
  • A car is essential for the shopping centres, the clinics and the golf
  • 27 minutes from the South airport, further than the south-east neighbourhoods

Frequently asked questions

Your questions about Callao Salvaje

No, provided you accept the car. Daily life is done on foot in the village: supermarket, pharmacy, restaurants and the Playa de Ajabo. Costa Adeje covers the rest ten minutes away, shopping centres, clinics and golf included. For the South airport, allow 27 minutes.

The Playa de Ajabo is a cove of grey-gold sand, sheltered between low cliffs, with water that is often calm in the morning. It stays quiet even in season: it is a neighbourhood beach rather than a resort beach. For a large equipped stretch of sand, Fañabé is a quarter of an hour away by car.

The recent schemes offer apartments with wide terraces and a communal pool, often facing due west towards the ocean, as well as a few townhouses. The specifications are contemporary: picture windows, fitted kitchens, parking. Prices stay measured by the standards of the municipality of Adeje. We check the orientation and the sunlight on the terrace on the ground, at the end of the day.
