Attractions of Adeje in the south of Tenerife
Adeje is a small town that can be walked around in an hour or two. It is located close to the tourist area, but there are not as many tourists here as one might expect. Buses run here from the resorts, so getting there is not difficult.
Old houses and narrow streets with cafes and locals sitting in them have been preserved here. And beautiful and often cloudy mountains rise above the city.
What attractions are there to see here?
A monastery built in 1697 has been preserved in Adeje. The first monastic hermitages appeared here in the 16th century. You can go to the ancient monastery of the Sign at the active monastery of St. Sebastian.

Another attraction of Adeje is the Casa Fuerte fortress. It began to be built back in 1553 to protect against the constant attacks of pirates that devastated the coast of Adeje. For three centuries, Casa Fuerte protected the town and played the role of a political and economic center. And in 1902 it was almost completely destroyed by a major fire. Many valuable historical artifacts were kept within the walls of the fortress. Only a small part was saved; they are exhibited in the Museum of the Canary Islands, located on the island of Gran Canaria.
Not far from Adeje is the famous Hell's Gorge hiking trail. Along a winding mountain path you can reach a small waterfall.
And on the other side of Adeje there are abandoned terraces where you can walk. It’s especially cool to do this at sunset. From here you have an excellent view of the coast and the tourist resorts of Costa Adeje and Las Americas.
Finding an apartment here to spend a vacation is difficult. Adeje is home to mostly locals and a lot of expats. The city is chosen by those who are thinking about moving to Tenerife. Here you can buy inexpensive real estate, compared to neighboring tourist areas. As usual, there is a large selection, from small studios to large apartments. But buying real estate in Spain is a separate conversation, very complex and has many nuances. Our video about agents' tricks and architects' mistakes will appear soon, be sure to watch it.
History of the area
The Adeje coast today is the most comfortable and respectable holiday destination in Tenerife. Let's tell you a few secrets.

In 1496, the process of colonization and division of lands began under the leadership of Alonso Fernando de Lugo. A small settlement was founded near the Adeje River, where the modern city is located.
In the 16th century, local residents built the first monastic hermitages. In 1530, there was already a monastery in Adeje and another in Taucho. Much later, the monasteries of the Mother of God of the Sign appeared in Enramada and Concepcion.

Next to it is Fanabe beach, which is one of the busiest beaches in the south of Tenerife .
Diving in Adeje
Since a huge colony of whales has been living off the coast of Adeje for several decades now, it’s worth diving in these places just for them! And if you add to such an unusual sea voyage possible encounters with dolphins, rare pilot whales, and sea turtles, then there will be no time to even get on land... Do you agree?
More than 500 species of rich Atlantic flora and fauna live in the ocean depths near Adeje. Local diving centers have adopted all these opportunities and are growing along the coast like mushrooms! Here they will teach you how to dive if you don’t know how, help you get a diver certificate, sell you the necessary equipment, or offer it for rent.

A story about Tenerife would be incomplete without a review of the Costa Adeje resort. Together with Las Americas, it is popular among tourists. We also managed to walk around it and form our own impressions about this place. Is it worth staying here and what can you do, read this article.
Costa Adeje is considered a quieter resort than. As a rule, married couples who value the proximity of the ocean, developed infrastructure and cozy restaurants prefer to stay on its territory. The composition of vacationers at the resort is diverse both in age and country of residence.
Adeje is located at an altitude of 300 meters above sea level. Before the conquest of Tenerife by the Spaniards, this area served as the residence of the Guanche ruler. The last of them is Don Diego de Adeje, who managed to establish peace with the Spaniards. After the start of colonization, a small settlement was founded on the Adeje River, which expanded every year. From the 16th century, monastic hermitages and later monasteries began to be built.
Currently, Costa Adeje is a modern resort that has everything necessary for a pleasant holiday. We were able to verify this by walking around it.
One day we decided to walk to Costa Adeje. and is conducive to such walks. And if you get tired, you can always take a break on one of the beaches or go have a snack at one of the coastal cafes. Later we did just that.
On the one hand, this route allowed us to get acquainted with the local beaches and infrastructure of the area, and on the other, to breathe in the fresh sea air. I never ceased to be amazed by the nature of the Canary Islands. How diverse and mysterious it is. And the ocean simply enchants when you look at it.
When you walk along the sea, it is difficult to determine where one resort ends and another begins. Their close proximity contributed to the fact that they merged into almost a single space. But if you delve a little into the reference books, you can find out that the border between Las Americas and Costa Adeje runs along the bed of the Barranco del Troya River near the Troya Hotel. On the opposite side, the border passes in the La Caleta area.
The Costa Adeje area made a pleasant impression on me. Here, indeed, everything is well arranged and there is everything you need for a comfortable stay. Beautiful beaches, a variety of attractions and convenient transport accessibility will help you have a great time at the resort.
And here we saw one of the most beautiful sunsets. The sun set behind the horizon, illuminating the resort with its bright colors.
The photo does not convey the colors that nature uses.
With the onset of darkness, the embankment becomes completely different. Tourists change their beach clothes for evening ones and go for a walk.
Hotels and Apartments
The resort has many hotels and apartments, both high-level and quite budget options. I have made a selection of housing options of different levels with high ratings.

Beaches
The beaches of Costa Adeje are distinguished by their clean bottom and emerald color of water. The local government put a lot of effort into their arrangement. Most beaches are sandy, but there are also pebble beaches. The sand on the beaches is of different shades, as imported yellow sand from the Sahara was mixed with gray volcanic sand.
On the beaches you can not only swim and sunbathe, but also rent water equipment or go paragliding. Both divers and sailing enthusiasts will like it here.
Map
A map will help you navigate the attractions and places to stay in the resort of Costa Adeje.
For many tourists, the Costa Adeje resort is an opportunity to sunbathe on white sand and swim in clean, clear water. It is chosen by both wealthy, respectable tourists staying in expensive hotels, and ordinary people renting 3-star hotels or apartments. Everyone will find a place to their liking in Costa Adeje.
It stretches along the southern part of the island for more than six kilometers. The resort is a single whole, but if desired, can be divided into two parts. The first of these is the area around the Hesperia Troya Hotel. Water flows down from the mountains along a channel located near the hotel, and it is along the drainage line that the border between two sections of Costa Adeje is determined. The second part is located west of the riverbed. Thus, if you stand facing the island and your back to the ocean, it will stretch in the west.
Family holidays on the beaches of Costa Adeje
Costa Adeje is perfect for a family holiday in a relaxed atmosphere. The further you move away from the western, noisy neighbor of Playa de las Americas, the calmer it becomes. At the farthest western point of the resort, near a luxurious beach, a vacation will cost the most. It is here that the most fashionable hotels are located, including the famous Bahia Del Duque. Surely this hotel will be one of the best places where you have ever vacationed. The only problem is the number of zeros in your final score. Despite the prestige of holidays in this region, the infrastructure in the area of this hotel is quite poor. The only entertainment is Plaza Del Duque. In the absence of accessible shopping and entertainment facilities, this place will be very useful.
In the visibility zone of del Duque beach, it is easy to spot two large capes that visually separate it from the largest beach of Costa Adeje -. This place is wildly popular among tourists, and during the peak season the beach resembles the coast of Sochi during the Soviet period, when it was impossible to take a single step without hitting one of the vacationers. True, the contingent of vacationing citizens itself contrasts sharply with other beaches of this resort. As a rule, the streets are empty early and after dinner you can meet on the street, perhaps, not the most sober Englishmen or lost Russians.
Tourist infrastructure of Costa Adeje
The tourist infrastructure in Costa Adeje is quite rich and widely represented by a large number of small shops, shops and small cafes. The assortment here is purely touristic, the price range is minimal, and the product is easy to guess. It is unlikely that you will find here any exotic curiosity found only in Tenerife. And you won’t even try the real cuisine of the Canary Islands. Pay attention to the small village of La Caleta, three kilometers from Playa del Duque. There you can always buy the freshest seafood and stroll along the beautiful coastline. Here in Fanabe you will find decent fours, good options for apartments and get an excellent middle-class holiday.
Beaches of Costa Adeje
Let's move on. After Fanabe Beach, which is gigantic by local standards, the neighboring one will seem intimate and miniature. This place is famous for its cheap and very tasty cuisine, many excellent bars, as well as dozens of noisy promoters and barkers. It’s difficult to pass by and not go to each of the establishments, but it’s better to control yourself, otherwise it will be difficult to “survive” until the evening. Perhaps, pay attention to the El Faro disco, famous throughout Tenerife. Despite the fact that this is a favorite place among the Russian-speaking public, this place is quite decent. But don’t think that Puerto Colon is a high-energy, crazy and purely party place. People here, however, go to bed and do not walk around at night and sing songs. This is not a nursing home, of course, but it’s not either. In the evening there are a large number of local Frank Sinatras and Elvises on the streets and each of them will offer an unforgettable musical evening just for you.
How to get to the hotel
The soft sand of Costa Adeje ends and to get to the H10 Gran Tenerife hotel you will have to walk along a rocky section. But the path will not tire you at all, especially since you can always take a break, for example, in a very unusual restaurant located right on the cliff. Sitting at one of the tables you will be able to admire an incredibly beautiful view of the city. We sat, drank some orange juice on the way, and hit the road again. Moreover, the hotel is only a few hundred meters away, and inside Gran Tenerife there is the only casino in the southern part of the island. Hurry up before someone else hits the jackpot.
Exactly along the border of the two resorts stretches the busiest street in this area. If you see the sign “Veronikas Street”, feel free to move in the given direction. Unless, of course, you came to Tenerife to have a good time at night and wake up long after lunch. There are a lot of inexpensive apartments in the Veronicas area, which means that the area will be full of drunk, young Englishmen. A great way to improve your English, but also a great opportunity to kill your own liver.
Let's summarize a little. If you come for a relaxing, family vacation, you have a direct route to Costa Adeje; if your vacation involves a less strict program, go to. In the west of Costa Adeje you will have a luxurious holiday, but you will lose a lot of cash. Quiet, tasty, but expensive, and there’s not much to do. When staying in Fanabe, expect an excellent beach, average hotels, bustling shopping streets and quiet summer evenings. When heading to the Puerto Colon area, get ready for almost 24-hour noisy fun, British cheerful neighbors and the absence of puritanical sentiments. If you like water attractions, you will find them a little away from the coast, just off the highway. There are popular water parks and.
YACHT CLUB IN PUERTO COLON
If you are a happy owner of a yacht or are just about to take your first steps in this direction, you will not find a better place than the yacht club in the Puerto Colon area. Only one question arises: if yacht owners are really happy people, then why is there a “for sale” sign on every second yacht?
Puerto Colon has a large concentration of a wide variety of vessels: from simple pleasure boats to almost combat destroyers. In any case, people who do not understand yachts mistake fashionable floating substances for, at a minimum, warships. You don’t have to be Roman Abramovich to feel like a real owner of a house on the water. You can rent a yacht or whatever else floats, and then add a little imagination and full speed ahead. Here you can fulfill another long-time dream of yours and go sea fishing.
If the word “port” confuses you in advance, then relax. Here in Puerto Colon you won't find giant rusty barges or oil tankers. They simply won’t fit here due to their dimensions. This is a small bay designed for medium-sized swimming units. All of them are environmentally friendly and do not harm their owners, tourists and the surrounding southern nature. Moreover, they perfectly complement the local landscape and serve as an additional decoration of the landscape.
