The atmosphere

At the far north-western end of the coast, Los Gigantes takes its name from the dizzying cliffs that plunge 600 metres into the Atlantic — the most spectacular natural backdrop in the Canaries. The village rises like an amphitheatre above its marina: whitewashed lanes climbing the slope, bougainvillea and terraces turned towards the basalt giants.

The mood is that of an old-world seaside village — peaceful and loyal, with many owners returning here decade after decade, drawn by the beauty of the setting, the gentle microclimate (one of the sunniest on the island) and life around the harbour. Puerto Santiago and the black-sand beach of Playa de la Arena extend the village southwards, with shops and a seafront promenade.

Day-to-day life is fully covered on a village scale: supermarkets, pharmacies, a medical centre, restaurants and sailing clubs. Trips out to sea — watching the dolphins and whales resident in the channel, excursions towards Masca — are part of local life. For larger services, Costa Adeje is twenty-five minutes away along the coast road.

The property market lives off the topography: almost every home looks out over the ocean and the cliffs, from apartments in pool-equipped residences to villas clinging to the slope, some among the most spectacular on the island. Prices remain below those of Costa Adeje for a comparable view — a gap that is narrowing as the west coast grows in reputation.

Los Gigantes is for the contemplative and the sea-lover: sailors, couples buying a second home before the panorama, and purchasers who place the majesty of the setting above proximity to the airport.

The property market

Almost every home looks out over the ocean and the cliffs: apartments in pool-equipped residences, penthouses and villas clinging to the slope. Prices remain below Costa Adeje for a comparable view — a gap that narrows year on year.

Who is it for?

Contemplative souls, sailors and sea-lovers who place the beauty of the setting above all else. For them, the cliff panorama from the terrace is worth the thirty-five-minute drive from the airport — and the loyalty of the village's owners proves them right.

Strengths

  • The most spectacular panorama in the Canaries
  • A microclimate among the sunniest on the island
  • Ocean views from nearly every home
  • A marina at the heart of the village
  • Prices still measured for a comparable view
  • A loyal village, alive all year round

Things to consider

  • At 35 minutes from the South airport, the longest journey in our selection
  • Sloping lanes: mobility worth considering depending on the buyer
  • Parking can be difficult in the village centre during peak season
  • A less extensive range of services than along the Adeje coast

Frequently asked questions

Your questions about Los Gigantes

It is the village's trade-off: thirty-five minutes by road, against fifteen to twenty for the Adeje coast. The dual carriageway nonetheless makes the journey smooth and scenic. For longer stays — a winter month, a family summer — the distance is quickly forgotten; for weekly comings and goings, the south-eastern neighbourhoods will be more convenient.

The amphitheatre topography helps a great deal: the vast majority of apartments and villas look out over the ocean, the harbour or the cliffs. The quality of the view — head-on, side-on, looking down — does, however, create significant price differences. It is the first criterion we assess during viewings, along with how much sun the terrace gets at the end of the day.

The three follow one another along the coast and work as a single living area. Los Gigantes concentrates the harbour, the character and the most dramatic views; Puerto Santiago is more residential and flatter, valued for its value for money; Playa de la Arena is built around its black-sand beach, ideal for families. We make a point of showing all three areas.
