Tenerife is much more than sunshine and beaches — it’s an island of contrasts, volcanic landscapes, charming villages, and crystal-clear waters.
Staying at Hotel Villa Adeje Beach, in Costa Adeje, gives you the perfect starting point to explore every corner of the island, balancing relaxation with discovery.
Here’s a 6-day itinerary to experience the best of Tenerife at your own pace, with plenty of opportunities to unwind by the sea.
Day 1 – Welcome to Costa Adeje: Relax and Get to Know Your Surroundings.
Land, unpack your suitcase and relax. Enjoy the spa, swimming pool and beach just a few metres from the hotel. In the evening, stroll along the Fañabé promenade and dine while watching the sunset.
Day 2 – The Majesty of Mount Teide.
No trip to Tenerife is complete without visiting Teide National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Drive or join an organised tour to the park’s cable car station, and marvel at the lunar-like landscapes shaped by lava flows.
Tip: Book the cable car in advance and bring warm clothing — temperatures drop at high altitude.
Highlights: Roques de García, La Tarta de Teide viewpoint, and Las Cañadas crater.
Day 3 – Culture and Tradition: La Orotava and San Cristóbal de La Laguna.
Dedicate this day to discovering Tenerife’s cultural heritage.
Start in La Orotava, a town full of traditional Canarian houses and wooden balconies. Visit the Casa de los Balcones and wander through its cobbled streets.
Then head to La Laguna, the island’s old capital and another UNESCO site, known for its colonial architecture, local markets, and laid-back student atmosphere.
Day 4 – Beaches and Water Sports in the South.
After a day of sightseeing, it’s time for some sea and sun.
Explore Playa del Duque or El Médano, ideal for paddleboarding, snorkelling, or simply relaxing on golden sands.
If you’re looking for something active, Costa Adeje offers jet-ski rides, parasailing, and kayaking along the cliffs.
Day 5 – Whale and Dolphin Watching by Boat.
One of Tenerife’s must-do experiences is a boat excursion to see whales and dolphins in their natural habitat.
Departing from Puerto Colón — just a short walk from the hotel — these tours let you observe pilot whales and bottlenose dolphins all year round.
Choose between a catamaran, sailboat or luxury yacht, and enjoy a relaxing morning at sea with views of the coast and Mount Teide in the distance.
Tip: Morning departures often have the calmest seas and best light for photography.
Day 6 – Shopping, Spa and Farewell to the Island.
For your last day, take it easy.
Visit the Plaza del Duque shopping centre or the local markets in Adeje to buy Canarian crafts and delicacies.
Then treat yourself to a spa session or a dip in the hotel pool before your flight.
End your stay with a special dinner at the hotel’s restaurant or one of the nearby seafront terraces.
