Also, on the territory of the resort, there are public parks and squares with amazing plants, where you can not only walk during the day or evening, but also go for morning jogging.

They are open to the public, but prices are far from the lowest. Fortunately, there are cafes and restaurants for every taste and color - the bulk are concentrated along the embankment and the main pedestrian tourist routes. In terms of cuisine and the theme of the establishments, everything is as usual, most of them are motley establishments with different cuisines and an emphasis on reaching the maximum number of tourists, but there are also large restaurants, barbecues or sushi bars.
For shopping lovers
And you will find something to do here, although the choice here is not so large. In several shopping centers In Costa Adeje you can buy both branded items and clothes from little-known brands. For example, in Plaza del Duque- a shopping center built on a large scale, you are offered all kinds of goods from world brands and Spanish manufacturers of clothing and accessories. In fact, this is the largest shopping center in the area. In addition to it, several smaller shopping complexes are scattered around the resort, and opposite the commercial center El Duque(El Duque, not to be confused with the one mentioned above!) On Thursdays and Saturdays from 9:00 to 14:00 there is a local market (mainly things and souvenirs).
Tents with goods at the market in Costa Adeje Throughout Costa Adeje there are many shops with cheap things in huge quantities, they are, as usual, located closer to the beaches and crowded places. It’s quite possible to buy sandals or a sundress to replace a torn one, but I wouldn’t take such gifts home; it’s better to save space in your suitcase for something more worthwhile.
Anyway, shopping- this is a pleasant activity, if only because we all, one way or another, sometimes like to just gawk at the product on offer, even if we do not intend to purchase it.
Night life
If you wish, you will always find a place to have fun, although it may seem that there is no place to “hang out” at all in Costa Adeje. Club El Faro or Kaluna Beach Club , located between the port and Fanabe beach, are essentially the only similar establishments nearby. In general, it is better to look for nightclubs, bars and discos with good music and fun, dancing and parties in nearby Las Americas, but if you are not a big fan of noise, you can easily find somewhere to while away the evening listening to live music, karaoke or a sports match, closer to the hotel.
For lovers of gambling and random winnings, the H10 Gran Tenerife hotel has the only casino.
When they mention Costa Adeje, the word “most” is very often used: the most important resort, the cleanest coastline, the most luxury hotels, the most exquisite dishes, etc. It seems to me that this is a worthy assessment of the resort, which is visited by a huge number of vacationers every year.
It was here that I visited back in 2010, when I first visited the island of Tenerife, and it was after this visit that I wanted to move here =) During the day there were beaches and excursions, and in the evening either a relaxing dinner in restaurants nearby, or noisy parties and partying in a taxi to which costs only 10–12 euros.
And, finally, a beautiful video about this resort and its capabilities (it’s better to watch in full screen).
A story about Tenerife would be incomplete without a review of the Costa Adeje resort. Together with Las Americas, it is popular among tourists. We also managed to walk around it and form our own impressions about this place. Is it worth staying here and what can you do, read this article.
Costa Adeje is considered a quieter resort than. As a rule, married couples who value the proximity of the ocean, developed infrastructure and cozy restaurants prefer to stay on its territory. The composition of vacationers at the resort is diverse both in age and country of residence.
Adeje is located at an altitude of 300 meters above sea level. Before the conquest of Tenerife by the Spaniards, this area served as the residence of the Guanche ruler. The last of them is Don Diego de Adeje, who managed to establish peace with the Spaniards. After the start of colonization, a small settlement was founded on the Adeje River, which expanded every year. From the 16th century, monastic hermitages and later monasteries began to be built.
Currently, Costa Adeje is a modern resort that has everything necessary for a pleasant holiday. We were able to verify this by walking around it.
One day we decided to walk to Costa Adeje. and is conducive to such walks. And if you get tired, you can always take a break on one of the beaches or go have a snack at one of the coastal cafes. Later we did just that.
On the one hand, this route allowed us to get acquainted with local beaches and the infrastructure of the area, and on the other hand, breathe in the fresh sea air. I never ceased to be amazed by the nature of the Canary Islands. How diverse and mysterious it is. And the ocean simply enchants when you look at it.
When you walk along the sea, it is difficult to determine where one resort ends and another begins. Their close proximity contributed to the fact that they merged into almost a single space. But if you delve a little into the reference books, you can find out that the border between Las Americas and Costa Adeje runs along the bed of the Barranco del Troya River near the Troya Hotel. On the opposite side, the border passes in the La Caleta area.
The Costa Adeje area made a pleasant impression on me. Here, indeed, everything is well arranged and there is everything necessary for comfortable rest. Beautiful beaches, a variety of attractions and convenient transport accessibility will help you have a great time at the resort.
And here we saw one of the most beautiful sunsets. The sun set behind the horizon, illuminating the resort with its bright colors.

With the onset of darkness, the embankment becomes completely different. Tourists change their beach clothes for evening ones and go for a walk.
