Where to sleep in Tenerife
Tenerife is one of the number 1 destinations in Spain where every year millions of tourists come to spend their holidays during all the months of the year. And when organizing your trip, one of the most important points is where to stay, which areas are better in Tenerife to stay overnight. In this post of the travel guide of Tenerife we will try to solve each and every one of the doubts about accommodation on the island, and answer the difficult question of: Where to sleep in Tenerife?
The truth is that to know which is the best area to stay in Tenerife you have to have clear the objective and plans for your trip. For this reason it is important to know that Tenerife is divided into two main areas: the southern area, where a large part of the European tourism that comes to Tenerife is located, in the areas of Costa Adeje, Playa de las Américas or Los Cristianos, where many of the island's tourist attractions are concentrated, such as Siam Park and many services are available to users, as well as the widest range of hotels on the island; and the northern area, which receives more national and regional tourism, although also from other parts of Europe. The truth is that the climatic conditions of the north of Tenerife, in Santa Cruz or Puerto de la Cruz are less fortunate than in the south, which have as a reference the spectacular beaches of golden sand, and a tourism of sun and beach more defined than the north of Tenerife.
Costa Adeje
One of the most desirable areas to sleep in Tenerife because of all the great attractions nearby like Siam Park, and like the beaches, which for many are the best beaches in Tenerife. All this is with the spectacular weather of the area, and a range of hotels of the most luxurious of Tenerife next to the Playa de las Americas. Water activities, nightlife with a great atmosphere and an infinite number of services make Costa Adeje one of the best areas of Tenerife to stay overnight.
Santa Cruz de Tenerife
How could the capital of Tenerife not be one of the best areas of Tenerife to stay? Santa Cruz brings together many of the determining factors for choosing a stay in Tenerife. Although it is located in the north of the island, Santa Cruz has magnificent connections with the rest of the areas of interest, so you will not have any problem to move around. On the other hand, if you are looking for cultural activities, visits to natural parks, typical gastronomy of the place, etc., Santa Cruz is your place. And finally, although it may seem the opposite, in Santa Cruz you can also enjoy the sun and beach (although less than in the south) in the wonderful beaches it has as the beach of Las Teresitas or the beach of Las Gaviotas.
Playa de las Américas
As mentioned in the section on Costa Adeje, Playa de las Américas is one of the most luxurious areas of Tenerife, as well as one of the most sought-after by tourists. Its characteristics are similar to Costa Adeje.
Puerto de la Cruz
It combines the spectacular "green" landscapes of the area with the famous black sand beaches where there is still plenty of peace and quiet. It is undoubtedly the best known and most visited holiday area in the north of Tenerife, and in Puerto de la Cruz you can also find important tourist attractions such as Loro Parque or the Botanical Gardens, some of the must-sees on your visit to Tenerife.
Obviously these are not the only areas where staying overnight in Tenerife can be a good option. The good thing about Tenerife is that almost anywhere can be good for a sleepover. Some examples? El Médano, Los Gigantes, Puerto de Santiago or Los Cristianos among others.
