Costa Adeje offers a choice of luxurious outdoor activities and five star hotels for summer fun or winter sun in Tenerife.

Tenerife, Canary Islands was once only well known for its traditional fishing village turned city Puerto de la Cruz on the North Coast and for the family beach fun, drinking in the sun and nightclubs of Playa de Las Americas on the South Coast.

Over the past five years or so, Costa Adeje, situated on the South-West Coast of Tenerife Canary Islands, has developed into a luxury vacation destination with outdoor activities including walking, running, cycling, playing golf, sunbathing, swimming and shopping, considered the best in Tenerife.

Walking and Promenading in Costa Adeje

Going for a walk in Costa Adeje towards the sea confirms that Tenerife uses volcanic lava rocks in buildings and garden landscaping. One side of the Casa del Duque, the public gardens of Costa Adeje form part of the terracing to the sea water’s edge. In twenty to forty minutes, walkers can follow the trail around the rocktop castle and arrive at the Playa del Duque beach.

The manmade walkway from Playa del Duque along the South East Tenerife Coast line is ideal for an early morning’s powerwalk before breakfast or for promenading in the afternoon or in the evening to view the sunset. Sunset in Tenerife is famous for its speed, a winter sun sets within 2 minutes. The Promenade is patrolled discreetly by private security.

Runningalong the promenade for around one hour offers changing terrains from paths alongside the Duque white sands then shingle beaches before moving to North Shore-style decking over black sands and indigenous plants.

Cycling around Costa Adeje is a feast for lovers of architecture with so many white upmarket apartments and villas in Gran Canarian colors. As many streets are hilly, most leisure cyclists will take their bicycles along the promenade.
