Best Time to Visit Costa Adeje
Tenerife's main resort area on the sunny southwest coast, with hotels along a long seafront promenade, sheltered beaches and the island's most reliable sunshine.
Best time to visit: All year: winters are mild and summers rarely scorching. March–June and September–November are the most comfortable.
Local tip: Whale- and dolphin-watching boats leave from Puerto Colón; the sea is calmest in the morning.
Getting around: The seafront promenade links Costa Adeje with Playa de las Américas and Los Cristianos; TITSA buses reach the rest of the island.
Good to know: The south is drier and sunnier than the north of the island. When Teide has snow in winter, the coast can still be around 22°C.
