Fun for all the family in Costa Adeje
The coastal resort town of Costa Adeje is a popular holiday destination on Spanish the island of Tenerife.

Scenic beaches on your doorstep
Quite clearly a large focus of Costa Adeje is the waterfront and the impressive beaches that draw in visitors from across the globe. There are various beaches within close proximity of the town, all offering differing benefits and facilities. Playa del Duque, known in English as Duke beach, is to the north of the town centre and is known for its exclusivity and high-end indulgence. Many of the luxury hotels in Costa Adeje are found in this area and visitors can enjoy massages and beauty treatment directly on the beach. Further south are the pair of beaches known as Torviscas and Fanabe, recognised for a range of water sport activities. Here visitors can enjoy jet-skiing, parascending, parasailing, banana boats, as well as bathing in the clear blue water. Just below the two beaches is the much smaller Playa de la Pinta; protected by the marina, the consequent calmness creates an ideal environment for younger children. There are again a variety of hotels lining the waterfront, offering accommodation options to suit all travellers.

Aqualand, another large water-park, lies closer to the centre of Costa Adeje amongst multiple large hotel resorts.
