The gem of Tenerife's southwest coast, Costa Adeje is just west of the popular Playa de las Americas but provides a tranquil and laidback pace of life away from the hustle and bustle.

If you love being outdoors, then you'll love Costa Adeje holidays. The pretty beaches of black volcanic sand make a scenic place for sunbathing and swimming, and those keen on being active will find plenty to keep themselves busy. The clear ocean waters offer a haven for keen snorkelers and scuba divers, and there is a wide range of water sports available, from kayaking to windsurfing. Rocky bays along the coast offer great trekking, and it's worth hiking up to El Infernio ("Hell's Ravine") for absolutely breath-taking views.

If you're travelling with kids, check out the many water parks in the area which offer thrills and spills for the whole family. Aqualand features exciting saltwater pools, while Siam Park features rides inspired by the Orient. Whale watching is another popular day trip option, and if you're lucky you might even see a pod of playful dolphins as well.

Stroll along the promenade, or head to the recently-build marina at Puerto Colon, and stop for a cold drink at one of the many welcoming bars and cafes. The all-round sunshine and young development of this desirable resort makes it a favourite among holidaymakers who come back year after year.

A destination offering seclusion and relaxation in the outdoors, and just a stone's throw away from other popular hotspots, Costa Adeje is the perfect choice for your next summer holiday.
