Playa de las Américas, about a mile from the heart of Costa Adeje, is the busier choice. It sits close to Siam Park, the island's best-known water park, with Aqualand Costa Adeje and Golf Las Américas also nearby, and Playa de las Vistas and Honda Beach about two and a half miles away. If you want everything within a short walk or taxi ride, this is where to look.
Adeje, around two and a half miles away and home to more than 43,000 people, feels more like a working Canarian town. It is the gateway to the Barranco del Infierno protected area, roughly four miles off, and to quieter beaches such as Playa Las Galgas and Playa de Ajabo. It suits travellers who like a little distance from the main strip.
Both areas are close to Los Cristianos, the ferry port barely a mile from Costa Adeje, handy if you fancy a day trip by sea.
The kinds of stay on offer
British travellers here tend to search for three broad styles. Some want a hotel with board included, often adults-only hotels in Costa Adeje, Tenerife, for a quieter week by the pool. Families usually weigh up board basis against the pull of Siam Park and Aqualand on the doorstep.
Others prefer independence. Self-catering in Costa Adeje works well if you plan to eat out in Adeje town or spend long days at the beaches, and villas in Costa Adeje appeal to larger groups who want their own space. If you are after villas to rent in Costa Adeje, compare what is listed on this page alongside hotels before deciding.
