Aparthotels & serviced apartments in Tenerife

100 stays · 80 aparthotels and 20 serviced apartments · from €127/night

Tenerife is the largest and most populous of the Canary Islands, and its mild year-round climate makes aparthotels and serviced apartments a natural fit. Many visitors come for a fortnight or a whole winter, and a kitchen, a separate living area and a washing machine matter far more over several weeks than hotel extras. Self-catering also suits families on beach holidays and walkers who head out early to the Teide National Park.

A smaller, quieter resort on the west coast below dramatic coastal cliffs, merging with Puerto de Santiago and Playa de la Arena.

  • long stays

The north coast's relaxed, family-friendly resort, built around an old fishing port. It has the black-sand Playa Jardín, the Lago Martiánez seawater pools designed by César Manrique, a botanical garden, the Loro Parque zoo and a municipal market; historic La Orotava is 20 minutes away by bus.

Santa Cruz and La Laguna

  • business travel
  • culture
  • long stays

Santa Cruz, capital of Tenerife and co-capital of the Canary Islands with Las Palmas, has the Calatrava-designed Auditorio, the large García Sanabria park and the Palmetum. The tram climbs to La Laguna, the former capital, whose colonial centre is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and whose university brings around 30,000 students; Tenerife North airport is close by.

Getting around Tenerife

Tenerife has two airports. Tenerife South, in Granadilla de Abona, is the larger, handling around 14 million passengers a year, and is about 15 minutes from Los Cristianos; TITSA routes 111, 40, 450 and 343 link it with Los Cristianos and Costa Adeje. Tenerife North, near La Laguna, mostly serves mainland Spain, with buses 102, 107 and 108 to La Laguna and express bus 343 to Puerto de la Cruz.

TITSA runs the island-wide bus network, and its ten+ card gives discounted fares. Costa Adeje bus station is the hub for the south, the tram connects Santa Cruz and La Laguna, and the TF-1 and TF-5 motorways run along the south and north coasts. A car helps for Teide and remote walking routes, but the main resorts and towns are well served by bus.

Living in Tenerife for longer

Get a ten+ card early on, as TITSA buses are the most practical way to move between towns without a car. In the north, covered municipal markets in Puerto de la Cruz and La Laguna are good for fresh produce.

Choose your base by climate as much as scenery. The south-west coast is hot, dry and sunny for most of the year, while the north is greener, cooler and cloudier because of the trade winds. From Los Cristianos, ferries make it easy to add a few days on La Gomera.

When to visit Tenerife

Coastal temperatures average around 18–20°C in winter and 24–26°C in summer, so Tenerife is a year-round destination. Most rain falls between autumn and spring, mainly in the north, while summers are often completely dry. Hiking trails on Teide can close after wildfires or storms, so check before you go.

The Carnival of Santa Cruz in February (sometimes running into March) is one of the largest in the world, drawing around a million visitors, and La Orotava lays out its flower and sand carpets for the octave of Corpus Christi, a week after the feast itself, usually in June.

The island's biggest resorts are on the hot, dry and reliably sunny south-west coast, where Costa Adeje, Playa de las Américas and Los Cristianos run into one another close to Tenerife South airport. The greener, cooler north has Puerto de la Cruz and the island capital, Santa Cruz. For more islands, see the Spain hub or compare Majorca.
