Sitting pretty on Tenerife's south coast is the small, lively resort of Los Cristianos, perfect for those after a sunny beach holiday with great golden sands. Holidays in Los Cristianos have fun-filled activities to keep all ages entertained and Tenerife's enviable climate means it's one of the sunniest short-haul destinations to enjoy all-year-round, although the best time to visit are the months of May, June and July.
The two beaches of Los Cristianos and Playa de las Vistas are separated by the pretty harbour, with one of the golden bay's sheltered by the pier making it great for paddling with the little ones and the other boasting a line-up of watersports and a beachfront cocktail bar. Adventure-lovers can also catch a boat from the harbour for scuba diving trips, snorkel excursions and island-hopping to beautiful La Gomera nearby. In the evenings, explore the authentic restaurants and bars along the bustling promenade or for something more fast-paced, head into Playa de las Americas, the party capital of the island, for a string of popular clubs.
Tenerife South Airport is the nearest airport to Los Cristianos at a distance of 18 km from the town, and Tenerife North airport stands at a distance of 80km. Los Cristianos holidays are the perfect choice if you like to explore pretty port towns, classic beaches and picturesque neighbouring islands with a traditional Canary Island feel and with a variety of great-value hotels from swish 5-star to self-catering, you can grab a last-minute deal whenever the mood takes you.
Essential Information: When you go and what you’ll need
Both the beaches have a variety of watersports where you can take your pick from jet-skiing, windsurfing, scuba diving or banana boat rides. There are several boat trips and boat hire companies with day trips leaving from the port everyday. If you're lucky you can spot whales and dolphins enjoying the clear, blue waters.
Keep the Kids Happy
Around the resort you'll find lots of activities to keep the kids entertained, including Siam Waterpark in nearby Costa Adeje or more local attractions such as go-karting, bowling or mini golf. Enjoy camel riding just outside Los Cristianos, which is a great way to explore the local villages or simply hit the beach and go boogie boarding, waterskiing or surfing.
Lively Los Cristianos
The nightlife in Los Cristianos is ideal for those looking to let their hair down without neon lights or 3am-ending super clubs. The island is home to a handful of lively bars and a few clubs that are great to head to for some after-dinner entertainment. For those looking for a wilder night out, Playa de las Americas is the place for be, where lively bars and sensational clubs play host to international DJs.
Visit La Gomera
Just over an hour by ferry lies the beautiful island of La Gomera, which has villages and spellbinding beaches. It's colourful landscape, terraced white villages and verdant hillsides are a paradise for both nature lovers and those with a keen eye for photography. Enjoy stunning views over the island's National Park and its volcanic landscape.
