Aparthotels in Adeje

Adeje has the largest supply of aparthotels in southern Tenerife, with 26 establishments averaging around 3.3 stars and an average price of 164 euros per night, although you can find options from 108. Most are spread between the Costa Adeje area, which is the most touristy and developed, and the historic centre of Adeje, about six kilometres from the coast. If you're looking for beach and atmosphere, the logical choice is to stay along the coastal strip: Playa del Duque, Fañabé or Torviscas are the areas with the most restaurants, shops and entertainment, and all have direct access to seafront promenades. On the other hand, if you prefer peace and quiet and somewhat lower prices, the town centre lets you sleep well and drive or take the bus down to the coast in ten minutes, with the advantage that supermarkets and neighbourhood bars are cheaper.

The main difference between one area and another lies in the level of services and the type of traveller. Playa del Duque is the most exclusive, with high-end hotels and a well-kept promenade, while Torviscas and Fañabé are more family-friendly and lively, with beach bars and water activities. Further east, towards Los Cristianos, the atmosphere is more British and there is a greater supply of budget apartments. Aparthotels in the upper area, near the town centre, tend to be larger and have better views, but you need a vehicle to get around comfortably. As for prices, the low season (May, June, September and October) is the best time to find rates close to 108 euros; at Christmas and Easter prices rise considerably, and in August too, although less than on other islands.

To get there, the most practical option is to fly to Tenerife South airport (TFS), which is about twenty minutes by car from Costa Adeje. From there you can take a taxi (around 25-30 euros), a private transfer or the bus, with lines that stop on the main avenues. Once settled in, if you stay on the coast, you don't need a car for most things: the beaches, shopping centres and the seafront promenade are within walking distance. For excursions to Teide, Masca or the north of the island, renting a car for a couple of days is usually worth it. Before booking, check whether the aparthotel includes a full kitchen or just a kitchenette, whether the pool is heated (important in winter), and whether the final price includes taxes and cleaning. It's also worth looking at recent reviews about noise, because some buildings are above entertainment venues. Real examples you can find in the area are Hilton Vacation Club Sunset Harbour Club Tenerife, Ona Palm Beach, Servatur Caribe or Sunset Bay Club, all with different features in terms of size and services.
