Why stay at Los Cristianos?
The seaside resort of Los Cristianos is located in the south of Tenerife, between the Montaña de Chayofita and Montaña de Guaza nature parks. It’s a prime destination for waterside vacations.

The long seafront promenade(paseo maritimo) is lined with restaurants and boutiques. We also enjoyed the lively port. It is the starting point for cetacean-watching excursions. Los Cristianos is one of the most popular places to stay in Tenerife!

Here’s our map to help you find your way around Los Cristianos on the island of Tenerife:
Staying downtown
In Los Cristianos, the bustle of the town center is an extension of that of the beach and its water sports activities. Above the Playa de Los Cristianos, we enjoyed wandering the pedestrian streets in search of the city’s best restaurants. Our best addresses article will be available soon. Walking back to the hotel, without touching the car, brings a certain serenity, especially in high season.

Staying on the seafront
The Los Cristianos waterfront is the ideal place to take full advantage of the ocean views. We really enjoyed the morning walks along the seafront, which is still quiet at this time of day. Several prestigious establishments offer direct access to Los Tarajales beach.
Benefits:
- Breathtaking ocean views
- Direct access to beaches
- Close to nautical activities and the port
Disadvantages:

The heights of Los Cristianos offer a different perspective on the resort. The more residential atmosphere is also calmer. This is a particularly popular area for hikers, with direct access to the Montaña de Guaza and Montaña Chayofita trails.
Benefits:
- Panoramic views over the bay
- Quieter environment
- Close to hiking trails
Disadvantages:
- Longer walk to the beach

Other useful tips to keep in mind
- Los Cristianos is a popular year-round destination thanks to its mild climate. Remember to book your accommodation as early as possible, especially if you want to stay on the beachfront.
- The port of Los Cristianos is the starting point for whale-watching excursions and other nautical activities. If you want to take advantage of these activities, it’s best to stay in nearby accommodation.
- If you prefer walking, the area is also ideal for hiking the Chayofita and Guaza mountains.
OUR TIPS TO RENT A CAR IN Tenerife
- Compare prices on our preferred platform: DiscoverCars – one of the best rated sites.
- If you’re planning to explore the mountains, don ‘t take the smallest cars. A more powerful engine will be more comfortable.
- But don’t take too big a car either, as some roads are narrow.
- There’s a lot of demand and it’s an island, so book early.
