Los Cristianos

Holiday Rentals in Los Cristianos, Tenerife

Los Cristianos is one of southern Tenerife’s most popular and accessible holiday destinations — a former fishing village that has evolved into a vibrant coastal town without losing its human scale or easy charm. Its sheltered harbour, calm beaches and year-round warm climate make it a perennial favourite with families, couples and beach lovers alike.

Beaches and the Seafront

The Playa de Los Cristianos sits right in the heart of town: a wide, sheltered sandy beach protected by the harbour wall, ideal for calm swimming and sunbathing with small children. A short walk east brings you to Playa de las Vistas — one of the best beaches in the south, a long arc of fine imported sand with Blue Flag status, clear water and excellent facilities.

The seafront promenade connecting both beaches is one of the most pleasant in Tenerife: lined with cafés, ice cream parlours, terrace restaurants and souvenir shops, it’s perfect for evening strolls.

The Port and Island Connections

Los Cristianos is the departure point for ferries to La Gomera, La Palma and El Hierro, making it a natural hub for island-hopping. The port area is also home to boat excursion companies offering whale and dolphin watching, glass-bottom boat trips, and sailing tours — some of the most popular activities in the south of Tenerife.

Dining and Nightlife

The town offers an exceptional range of restaurants: from beachfront chiringuitos serving grilled fish to international cuisine and traditional Canarian tasas. The side streets behind the beach hide some of the most authentic local restaurants on the coast. Nightlife is lively but rarely rowdy — this is a resort that caters equally to families and couples.

Getting Around

Los Cristianos is connected to Costa Adeje and Playa de las Américas by a continuous seafront promenade — walkable in 20 minutes. The TF-1 motorway gives fast access to Tenerife South Airport (15 min) and the rest of the island. Bus lines connect to Santa Cruz and Puerto de la Cruz.
