Playa De La Arena

Villas in Playa De La Arena Resort

From Playa de la Arena you can enjoy the stunning cliffs, black sandy beaches and little coves that characterise this region of Tenerife. This family friendly resort is centred around the black sand beach, with plenty of shops, restaurants and cafes to choose from. The nearby towns of Puerto Santiago - a picturesque fishing port - and Los Gigantes have almost merged with Playa de la Arena over time. Los Gigantes is a popular town with lots of restaurants and bars, breathtaking cliffs and a pretty marina.  

Exploring Playa De La Arena On Villa Holidays

In Playa de la Arena there are a number of shops along the main promenade selling daily essentials, beach toys, as well as souvenirs and ice cream. The larger supermarkets can be found on the edge of town. The small fishing village of Alcala, 10 minutes' drive away, is home to a market every Monday and is great for stocking up on fresh produce for a BBQ back at the villa. Or head to the larger Playa San Juan market on a Wednesday and Sunday morning, where you can barter for local handicrafts and fresh produce.

The fabulous promenade has a good choice of bars and restaurants serving both international and typical Canarian cuisine - some offering great sea views. A few of the bars have live entertainment including tribute acts and quiz nights. If you’re looking for fresh seafood, the little fishing port of the neighbouring village, Puerto Santiago, is the place to go. Or head to Los Gigantes, just 10 minutes along the coast, for an greater selection of dining options.
