Costa Adeje Tenerife | Touristic Centers in the South of Tenerife
Costa Adeje Tenerife, Sunset Harbour Club Costa de Adeje, is one of the newest and most prestigious resorts in Tenerife. The best accommodation options on the island are located in this southern area.
Costa de Adeje has emerged in recent years giving place to a more exclusive and refined demand for tourism on the island. It is located just next to Playa de Las Américas in the municipality of Adeje.
Like other popular places in the south of the island, Costa Adeje Tenerife also has risen out of nowhere, mainly due to the demand for new hotel spaces near the sea and in a location with constant warm temperatures. Just as in the other towns and touristic places in the area the average temperature throughout the year is about a 25 ° C and with a lot of sunny days.
Costa Adeje Tenerife is one of the three most important tourist resorts, along with Los Cristianos and Playa de Las Américas, also located in the south of the Island, where you will find a wide range of hotels, tourist activities and relaxation moments.
Tenerife beaches
Bathing on the Tenerife beaches of this tourist spot is guaranteed mainly because the temperature is very pleasant throughout the year, the calm of the waves, the clean sand and the quality of services provided.
As explained elsewhere in this guide, in contrast to the north of the island where water quality is excellent, the water in Costa de Adeje is quite heavy, so we recommend you to drink bottled water.

The main hotels located in Costa de Adeje are newly built and in most cases more luxurious than other places, with a special contact with nature and a peaceful atmosphere, helping the tourists to disconnect from the work routine.
