The atmosphere
Costa del Silencio takes the southern tip of the island, between Las Galletas and Montaña Amarilla. The neighbourhood stretches along a volcanic coast cut into coves and natural pools. There is no large hotel and no commercial seafront: the coast has stayed raw, with footpaths and bathing spots known to the regulars.
The neighbourhood was built between the 1970s and the 1990s, around large complexes with gardens and pools. It is lived in all year by a mixed population: Canarian, British, Italian and Belgian residents. People meet at the café, walk along the coast at the end of the day, and the shops do not close off season.
The shops of the neighbourhood cover daily life, and neighbouring Las Galletas adds its market, its harbour and its services. The dive centre and the paths towards Montaña Amarilla start from the area. The South airport is twelve minutes away, which shortens round trips to Europe.
The market is the most affordable on this coast: apartments in a residence with a pool from €150,000, bungalows and terraced houses between €250,000 and €350,000. Quality varies sharply from one complex to the next, depending on the state of the common areas and the running of the community of owners. A well-chosen and renovated apartment gives a base facing the ocean for less than the neighbouring resorts.
Costa del Silencio suits a measured budget: a first purchase in the sun, a plain second home facing the Atlantic, or year-round living in a quiet place. The point to check before any offer is the financial health of the community of owners.

The property market
The most affordable market on the south coast: apartments in a residence from €150,000, bungalows and terraced houses above that. Quality varies a lot from one complex to the next, and the choice of the community of owners weighs more here than the choice of the street.
Observed price range: €150,000 – €450,000
Who is it for?
Costa del Silencio suits buyers on a measured budget who want the ocean at the end of the street without paying resort prices. A first base in the sun, a quiet retirement or a practical second home: the airport twelve minutes away keeps round trips from Luxembourg simple to organise.
Strengths
- The most affordable prices on the south coast
- A neighbourhood away from the tourist flow, quiet all year
- South airport 12 minutes away, for short round trips
- A year-round resident population: shops open off season
- Dive sites and volcanic coastline within walking distance
Things to consider
- No sandy beach in the neighbourhood
- An ageing stock: the running of the community of owners has to be checked
- Fewer restaurants and high-end services than in the resorts
- The sectors near the main road resell less well
