Best Place to Live in Tenerife?

Where to live in Tenerife

Tenerife South is more popular than the north among ex-pats looking for a place to buy or rent, mainly due to its sunny weather. The south of the island is also visited by many tourists in the summer months, which can make it somewhat chaotic but also fun and quite lively.

In general both property prices and rental accommodation are cheaper in the north than the south, and cheaper again inland and away from the tourist areas.

Best Places to  Stay in Tenerife

‘Best place’ is a very subjective term. It depends on what lifestyle you want.

Los Abrigos is quiet and only a little touristy with an English and Italian ex-pat community, El Medano has a similar feel but is typically Spanish speaking, as is Las Galletas.

Puerto de la Cruz is in the North, is greener, and has a lively tourist and ex-pat vibe.

Costa Adeje, Playa de las Americas, Los Cristianos are all expensive and very touristy.

Other areas, less popular are: Playa La Arena, Los Gigantes, Puerto de Santiago.

Why Self-Catering

Tenerife Self Catering

One persons view says it all.

We prefer self catering to any other board basis. We like it because we can come and go as we please and we love to eat out in different restraints every night and not be confined to 1 place. We don’t like the idea of having to be back for a certain time for tea or whatever.
We went bed and breakfast in August and breakfast was served until 10 am which i thought was reasonable but there were a few mornings when we would have liked to stay in bed a bit longer and a couple of times we did. You can still stay in hotels or aparthotels on a self catering basis so you still get a balcony with the views etc.
We just tend to buy some things in for snacks and maybe have breakfast in so buy bread, beans, bacon etc milk, tea bags things like that.
