A tranquil seaside village
For a peaceful break away from it all, La Caleta holidays may be just what the doctor ordered. Nestled on the southwest coast of Tenerife, this small, tranquil fishing village has retained much of its original charm. Spanish-style houses line the streets, alongside more contemporary hotels and apartment blocks. Many of the new buildings have been built with consideration for the local environment, with tropical gardens planted to protect the area’s visual appeal.
Renowned for its amazing seafood, the resort is also known for great weather all year round and its remarkable coastline. The rocky beaches create a striking contrast with the turquoise water, which is the ideal place for a relaxing dip. For those who want a bit more action, the buzzy Playa de las Americas is right next door. One of Tenerife’s true gems, holidays to La Caleta are perfect for everyone, from solo travellers and young couples to families.
