Resorts of the Costa Adeje Tenerife

Located on the west coast of Tenerife in the Canary Islands, Spain, are a couple of popular holiday resorts which attract thousands of visitors each year. On a stretch of coast known as the Costa Adeje, Playa Paraiso and Playa Fanabe, though close together are somewhat different in nature. Playa Paraiso (translates as Paradise Beach), despite its name hardly has a beach, but this does not put off holidaymakers as this is more than made up for by the superb saltwater lido around which life in the resort revolves. Playa Paraiso is a built for tourism destination and is an all year round resort enjoying a fabulous climate, even during the winter months. A little to the south of Playa Paraiso is the town of Fanabe and its coastal area, Playa Fanabe, now Playa Fanabe is in distinct contrast to Playa Paraiso as it has a wonderful beach, wide and sandy, with plenty of water sports facilities and a good selection of bars and restaurants. So if you like the beach and area a fan of the sand Playa Fanabe may be your first choice from the two, if you hate the sand and the sea, you may prefer to head for Playa Paraiso, just 2 resorts to consider on a trip to Tenerife, a little further south is the huge resort of Playa de las Americas, but that is another story!.
