Your stay guide
Everything you need once you arrive
From the moment you land to your last sunset over La Caleta — getting around, where to eat, day trips, and the things only locals know.
Getting Here
From Tenerife South Airport (TFS)
Fly into Tenerife South Airport (TFS) — roughly a 20-minute drive (~20 km). Tenerife North (TFN) is ~1h15 away — avoid if you can.
By car or taxi: 20–25 min from TFS. Taxis are readily available; pre-booked transfers are easy.
Parking is free and on-site — the villa has a 3-car garage.
By bus: TITSA serves Costa Adeje from the airport, then a short taxi or walk.
Exact address coming soon — Airbnb hides the precise location until booking.

Top picks
What to do on the island
Honest verdicts from a host who's done all of them — what to prioritise, what to skip.
Unmissable~1–1.5 h drive
Mount Teide National Park
Spain's highest peak (3,715 m) in a Mars-like volcanic caldera — UNESCO World Heritage and the most-visited national park in Spain. The cable car (book a timed slot — €40 adult / €20 child) climbs to 3,555 m. The free summit permit (trail PNT 10 'Telesforo Bravo') is mandatory above La Rambleta and books up weeks ahead — new slots release Mondays at 07:00 Canary time. Go early: afternoon cloud rolls up and the wind can close the cable car.
Cable car & summit permit →Unmissable~1h15 drive
Anaga Rural Park
Ancient laurel cloud-forest on the north-east tip — a UNESCO Biosphere of jagged ridges, misty trails and wild black beaches (Benijo, Almáciga). The El Pijaral / Bosque Encantado trail needs a free advance permit. Best paired with La Laguna; bring layers and a light rain jacket.
Worth it~1h drive
La Laguna
The island's most charming town — UNESCO-listed colonial streets, lively student energy, and one of Tenerife's best tapas scenes after dark. Free to wander. Perfect gateway to Anaga.
Worth it~1h drive
Garachico
Pretty north-coast town rebuilt after the 1706 lava flow. The famous El Caletón natural lava pools are free — bring a swimsuit, though swimming is weather-dependent. Combine with Icod's dragon tree.
Worth it~50 min drive
Masca village & gorge
Knife-edge ridge village reached by the spectacular hairpin TF-436 — worth the drive for the views alone. The gorge hike is now one-way downhill only: pre-book the shuttle (TITSA 355), trail ticket and return boat from Masca beach. Children under 8 aren't allowed on the hike. Many guests are happier just doing the village viewpoints.
Official trail booking →Worth it~40 min drive
Los Gigantes cliffs
Sheer 300–600 m sea cliffs on the west coast — best seen from the water. Combine with a whale-watching boat trip from Puerto Colón or Los Gigantes marina.
Skip~5 min drive
Aqualand Costa Adeje
Decent water park, but a clear step below Siam Park, which is right next door and a 2-minute walk from the villa. No reason to do Aqualand if you can do Siam.
SkipPuerto Colón / Las Américas
Generic 'pirate ship' booze cruises
Fine for a party, poor for actually seeing wildlife respectfully. Choose a Blue Boat / 'Barco Azul' certified operator instead — they're licensed and follow the 50 m distance / no-chase rules.
South — your base
South-west (your base): dry, sunny and sheltered. Reliable sun, warm calm-ish swimming. Costa Adeje is the most upmarket of the three adjoining resorts.
North — green & cooler
North (Puerto de la Cruz, La Orotava, La Laguna, Anaga): greener, lusher, cooler, more authentically Canarian — but markedly cloudier and wetter. The laurel forests, vineyards, guachinches and historic towns live up here.
In practice
Practical upshot: base sun and beach days in the south. Save Teide and the north for the clearest-looking days. If a morning looks cloudy at the villa, it often burns off by midday.

Getting around
Transfers, car hire & buses
You don't need a car to enjoy Costa Adeje itself — Siam Park, beaches, restaurants and supermarkets are walkable or a short taxi away. To see the rest of the island (Teide, Masca, Anaga, the north) a hire car is by far the best option.
Airport transfers from TFS
Taxi at the rank: roughly €25–40 to Costa Adeje (night surcharge applies); easiest for 1–4 people. Private pre-booked transfer / minibus for 6–8: usually around €100, fixed price, meet-and-greet, ideal with luggage and kids. TITSA bus (line 111 or 343): about €3.70–5, ~40 min, drops at Costa Adeje bus station — fine if travelling light.
Car rental — local firms beat the big brands
Cicar and AutoReisen (offices at TFS) are the trusted local picks: fully comprehensive insurance with no excess, unlimited mileage, free extra driver — no nasty surprises at the desk. TopCar is a solid third option. Expect €35–55/day for an economy car. For 8 people, book a 7–9 seat minivan early (limited supply) or take two cars.
Cicar →Public transport — TITSA & the ten+ card
TITSA's green 'guagua' buses cover the island. The rechargeable ten+ / TENMÁS card (€2 for the card) gives ~20–30% off single fares; tap on entry and exit. Tourist passes: 1-day ~€10, 7-day ~€50 (not valid on the special Teide / Teno lines). Top up at the airport, bus stations and kiosks.
TITSA fares →Driving notes
Roads are good but mountainous. The TF-21/TF-38 up to Teide is a long, steady climb at altitude. The TF-436 to Masca is famous hairpins — slow, spectacular, not for nervous drivers. Anaga's TF-12 is narrow and often foggy. Don't take the smallest car — pick something with adequate engine.
Parking
Free at the villa (3-car garage). Siam Park ~€3/day. Use shopping-centre car parks in the resort (Plaza del Duque often free for the first hour; Siam Mall). Teide has free car parks — arrive early. Masca village is essentially closed to private cars for the gorge.
Local tips
Insider advice & common mistakes
Small things that quietly make the holiday better.
Timing tricks
- Teide: go early. Afternoon cloud rolls up the slopes, queues and wind risk grow later. Book the cable car slot — and the free summit permit — well ahead.
- Masca: drive there early or late to dodge the worst hairpin traffic and tour buses.
- Barranco del Infierno: take the first morning slot — cooler, quieter, better light.
- Southern beaches are sunniest from late morning; Playa de Troya is a top sunset spot.
Hidden gems
- The guachinches of the north — real local food and wine at a fraction of resort prices.
- Anaga's Benijo beach at sunset.
- Lava pools at Garachico and Bajamar / Punta del Hidalgo in the north.
- La Laguna's tapas scene after dark.
- Local Abona and Tacoronte-Acentejo wines instead of imported ones.
Common mistakes
- Assuming the whole island has the same weather — it doesn't. Check north vs south before committing a day.
- Not booking the Teide summit permit, Masca trail or popular restaurants early enough.
- Renting the cheapest tiny car for mountain roads — underpowered and uncomfortable on the climbs.
- Underestimating Atlantic currents and the strength of the sun.
- Driving to Masca expecting to park and hike the gorge spontaneously — it's now shuttle-and-boat only, pre-booked.
- Doing Aqualand when Siam Park is on your doorstep.
If plans change (weather flex)
- Red beach flag → swim at a green-flag beach or the villa pool.
- Cable car wind-closure → do Roques de García / Pico Viejo trail instead.
- Masca boat fully booked → drive the village + a Los Gigantes boat trip.
- Calima sets in → swap Teide / viewpoint days for indoor and coast plans.
Practical info
Everything else worth knowing
Weather, calima, currents, sun, SIM cards and pharmacies.
Currency & cards
Euro (€). Cards widely accepted; carry some cash for guachinches, small bars, parking machines and tips. The Canaries use a lower local sales tax (IGIC ~7%), so many goods are cheaper than mainland Spain.
Language
Spanish (Canarian dialect). English widely spoken in resorts. Useful: Hola · Gracias · Por favor · La cuenta, por favor · Una caña · Agua sin gas · La farmacia · Ayuda.
Tipping
Not obligatory — staff are properly paid. Round up or leave roughly 5–10% in restaurants for good service, round up taxi fares, €1–2 per bag for porters, €1–2/day for housekeeping. Card machines rarely prompt for tips — carry coins.
Weather by month (south)
Dec–Feb: mild ~20–23°C, reliably sunny south while north is wetter; sea ~19–20°C. Mar–May: warming, blooming, better value; calima more likely. Jun–Sep: warmest and driest, 26–30°C, sea warmest late summer (22–24°C); busiest. Oct–Nov: warm sea lingers, quieter; north gets wetter.
Calima (Saharan dust)
Hot, hazy spells of south-east wind off Africa — usually 3–7 days, more common in spring/summer. Reduces visibility, raises temperatures. If you have respiratory issues, limit exertion outdoors and postpone Teide / viewpoint trips until it clears.
Sun safety
UV is strong year-round at this latitude — and extreme at Teide's altitude. High-factor sunscreen, hats, reapply often; midday shade. The Atlantic breeze can mask how much sun you're getting.
Water safety
Atlantic currents are stronger than the Med — swim at lifeguarded beaches inside marked zones. Obey flags: green = safe, yellow = caution, red = no swimming. Playa del Duque in particular has strong currents.
Connectivity & SIM
The Canaries are part of Spain/EU — EU roaming applies. Tourist prepaid SIMs are around €15–20 for plenty of data. eSIMs (Holafly, Airalo, Orange) are convenient — from roughly €4–18 depending on length and data.
Emergencies & pharmacies
112 for all emergencies (English-speaking operators). Pharmacies (green-cross signs) are everywhere in Costa Adeje; the duty 24-hour pharmacy (farmacia de guardia) is always posted on the door.
What to pack
Beach kit + water shoes (volcanic sand and rocks get hot); high-SPF sun cream, hat, sunglasses; warm layers and closed shoes for Teide (cold, windy, possibly snow); proper trainers for Barranco del Infierno / Masca (sandals are refused on regulated trails); light rain layer for the north; European plug adapter (type C/F, 230 V).
