Costa Del Silencio Holidays

One of Tenerife’s very first purpose-built resorts, Costa del Silencio has retained a more laid-back charm than some of the island’s buzzier areas. Found on the southernmost tip of Tenerife, it was first developed in the 1960s, and a number of complexes from that era give an elegant feel to the local architecture.

Alongside the older apartment blocks, there are plenty of modern ones, with all the swimming pools, cafés, restaurants and bars you’d hope for. Costa del Silencio holidays aren’t as focused on nightlife as at some other resorts, but it’s only 12 kilometres from Playa de las Americas, which is legendary for its glamorous beach parties, so there’s plenty on offer within easy reach if you fancy a big night out. Locally there are peaceful streets to wander and easy access to golf courses, fishing villages and a black volcanic beach popular with surfers.
