Know The Area

Costa Adeje, From Puerto Colon To El Puertito

Costa Adeje is a four kilometre strip of coast, and each part feels different. Here is the map in words.

Puerto ColonThe harbour

Every boat on this page leaves from here: whale watching, jet skis, the boat party, the sunset cruise. Ten minutes on foot from El Duque along the promenade.

Playa del Duque and Plaza del DuqueThe elegant end

Golden sand, the five star hotels, the designer shops of Plaza del Duque, and our office on the lower floor of the plaza, local B-35. Come and say hello.

Fanabe and TorviscasThe middle

The long easy beach, the promenade, the beach bars and the spa. Most of the big family hotels sit here, and most pickups start here.

La CaletaThe fishing village

Fifteen minutes walk west. Fish restaurants on the rocks, the paragliders landing on La Enramada beach, and the quietest sunset in Costa Adeje.

El PuertitoThe turtle cove

A tiny bay past La Caleta where the turtles live. Snorkel it by boat or walk down the track. No bar, no sun beds, go early.

Playa Paraiso and Playa San JuanWest along the coast

The buggies start in Playa Paraiso, the whale boats of Los Gigantes are 30 minutes further. Good day trips when you have seen the beach.

Things To Do In Costa Adeje At Night

After Dark, Loud Or Quiet

Costa Adeje is the calm end of the south. The proper nightlife is ten minutes away in Las Americas, which is exactly why people stay here.

1
A show with dinner

The comedy drag dinner show in Las Americas is ten minutes by taxi and the most booked night out from Costa Adeje. Flamenco and the medieval night are the calmer ones. See it →

2
The beach clubs on Fanabe

Sun beds by day, DJ and cocktails by night. Busy on weekends, book a bed ahead in summer.

3
The sunset from a boat

Private yacht out of Puerto Colon, food and drinks on board, back when the lights come on. See it →

4
Stargazing on Teide

Picked up at 17:00, sunset above the clouds, telescopes, back around midnight. The night out that is not a bar. See it →

5
The promenade walk

From Puerto Colon to Playa del Duque along the sea, a kilometre of restaurants and bars. Free, every evening.

6
Stag and hen weekends

Groups from 6: jet skis, a private boat, a reserved table and transfers, built by us. Stag and hen page →

Things To Do In Costa Adeje When It Rains

About Ten Days A Year, Here Is The Plan

Costa Adeje sits in the dry south, behind the mountains that catch the clouds. When it does rain, or the calima turns the sky orange, these six run anyway.

  • Spa day, three hours in the thermal circuit in Torviscas
  • Siam Mall, a hundred shops, the cinema and a food court, ten minutes from the beach
  • Bowling in Fanabe, lanes, pool tables and a bar, kids welcome
  • Axe throwing or airsoft, indoor, ten minutes by taxi, groups love it
  • The submarine, thirty metres down, dry, pickup included
  • A wine tasting in Vilaflor, a bodega above the clouds, above the rain too

Beaches In Costa Adeje

Four Beaches, Walking Distance

Playa del DuqueThe elegant one

Golden sand, sun beds, beach bars with cocktails, the five star hotels behind. Calm water, lifeguards, showers.

Playa de FanabeThe long easy one

Right on the promenade, family friendly, pedal boats and the parasailing boat leaving from the shore.

Playa de TorviscasThe harbour beach

Next to Puerto Colon, where the jet skis and the boats are. Busy, practical, good for a swim before a trip.

Playa La Enramada, La CaletaThe quiet one

Dark sand, fewer sun beds, paragliders landing next to you, fish restaurants up the hill. The locals' end.
