Why stay in Costa Adeje?
Because it's the south at its most comfortable. The hotels in Costa Adeje are among the island's best, with large resorts, adults-only properties and well-equipped family addresses, facing landscaped golden-sand beaches.
The resort is also ideally placed: Siam Park, the big water park, is minutes away, as are Playa de las Américas and Los Cristianos. You get Costa Adeje's relative calm while staying close to the south's buzz and attractions.
Which areas to choose in Costa Adeje?
Costa Adeje stretches along the coast, from the smartest to the liveliest depending on the area.
What's the budget for a hotel in Costa Adeje?
A hotel in Costa Adeje generally costs a little more than elsewhere on the island. As a guide, expect from around €90/night for a 3-4★ off-season, and €200-300 or more for a 5★ or adults-only, peaking in summer and at Christmas.
All-inclusive is very common and can work out economical for a beach holiday. For a family or a long stay, an aparthotel with a kitchen is often better value. Compare offers for your dates.
Getting around from Costa Adeje
The resort is walkable, but a car opens up the whole south and west of the island (Los Gigantes, Masca, Teide). See our page on car hire in Costa Adeje to plan your excursions.
