Coastal park with barren lava rocks and sparse vegetation, perfect for a climb.
Barranco del Infierno
A commercialised hiking opportunity that can barely compete with its free rivals around the island. It is a ravine hiking trail leading to a waterfall. Though, the water levels can be disappointing. Hiking shoes can be rented for €4.
Centro Comercial & Ocio Gran Sur
One of the largest amusement parks with water attractions in Europe. It belongs to the same company as Loro Parque in Puerto de la Cruz. There are free shuttle buses from Costa Adeje, Los Cristianos and Las Américas. However, check the ratings so you know what to expect, there are high times when you wouldn't want to go.
Dolphinarium, water attractions.
One of the most prominent mountains on the south coast. A few hours hike from the nearby Arona or Vento (meaning wind) villages, it goes through a relatively big canyon of Barranco del Rey and at top provides great views to all sides (unless mist builds up).
Beachfront cafe with keyboard player providing musical accompaniment.
Some of the best tapas food that can be found on Tenerife. Making a reservation well in advance is recommended.
A Spanish sea food tapas bar with plenty of vegetarian options.
Restaurant with a selection of Catalan and sea food oriented Canarian cuisine.
Upscale night club.
The Tais
This 11-floor residence with lifts has a heated freshwater swimming pool and a seawater pool. This beautiful complex overlooks the sea and is set in 8 hectares of exotic greenery.
By car
The island motorway TF-1 comes from Santa Cruz, about 70 km away. It continues north towards the Teno mountains and Santiago del Teide.
By bus
Check Tenerife#By bus for general information on bus connections between Adeje, Playa de las Americas and Los Cristianos.
On foot
Everything is of course also walkable if you bring enough time. Costa Adeje to Los Cristianos can be a nice stroll during the day.
Choose an airport to see hotels, stations, taxi ranks and car rental desks around it.
