Costa Adeje Tenerife

Discover the best of Costa Adeje

I'm Alison, a travel writer, who in 2005 moved from the UK to live and work on the beautiful island of Tenerife with my family. I set up LoveTenerife.com all those years ago and for the best part of 20 years have been writing about this beautiful island and what it has to offer. There have been some spectacular changes over the years and through this website I'd love to share my knowledge and expert travel tips with you before you set out on your holiday to Tenerife.

So, where is Adeje in Tenerife?

The provincial region of Adeje is in the south west of Tenerife. It benefits from excellent weather, has spectacular and diverse scenery and is just a short drive from the airport.

What's the difference between the province of Adeje, Costa Adeje and Adeje town?

Within the province of Adeje, there is the coastal region which is referred to as Costa Adeje. Costa in Spanish means "Coast" and it is where you will find the popular tourist destinations of Las Americas, Fanabe and Playa del Duque, amongst others. Travel inland a mile or so and you will discover the beautiful tree lined town of Adeje. (picture below)

There is a restaurant in Adeje town called Oasis serving the best garlic chilli chicken you'll ever taste, and it doesn't cost a lot. It's easy to find. If you are walking up the main road towards the church, you will come across it on your right hand side.

If you do decide to visit the old town of Adeje, then I can also recommend the Barranco del Infierno. This is a wildlife hike along a designated pathway through a gorge, with a waterfall at the end.

Which holiday resorts are in Adeje?

The resorts in Adeje include Las Americas, Torviscas, Puerto Colon, Fanabe, La Caleta and Del Duque. The resort of Los Cristianos is actually in Arona, which borders Adeje.

Fanabe, La Caleta and Del Duque are a little quieter than the other areas although you don't have to go far if you're a bit of a party animal!

What are the best attractions to visit in Adeje?

Siam Park is without doubt the number one visitor attraction. It is a modern water park but you don't have to get wet to enjoy what it has to offer. It's ideal for people of any age and you can easily spend the whole day there. They provide a free shuttle bus from various stops in Adeje.

Tenerife Weather

It's the number one reason why people choose to holiday in Tenerife, and for most of the time the weather suits most people perfectly but just like any where else, there can be bad or extreme weather in Tenerife.

Temperature Chart As you can see from the graph, Tenerife doesn't have big changes in temperature between one season and the next.

During July, August and September, Tenerife is usually at its hottest and temperatures can and do exceed what are comfortable for some. Occasionally a Sirocco will blow over the island bringing very warm air carrying sand particles from Africa. Once the Sirocco stops blowing, the sand remains in the air for days, trapping heat and raising the air temperature. This is called a Calima.

You are unlikely to see any rain during your holiday if you stay in the south throughout any of the summer months. Even during the winter months, there are very few days where it rains. December and January can bring significant amounts of rain in very short periods of time. This can lead to some short term and temporary flooding problems.

During the winter months, holidaymakers can easily top up their tans on the beaches, yet higher up the mountain you will often be able to see the snow capped peak of Mount Teide. It's a beautiful sight and one which demonstrates the diversity of Tenerife quite well.
