Sought after by millions of people around the world, the South of Tenerife is a renowned destination for its sunny skies, incredible weather and miles of beautiful walks by the ocean. Among all the destinations in the South of Tenerife, my personal favourite is Playa Las Vistas, in Los Cristianos. And within Playa Las Vistas, I fell in love with this beautiful studio. Several call it a one bedroom, but it is really a studio.  But because it offers a separation for the bedroom many are happy with the privacy they get, just as if it were a 1 bedroom unit. It offers free high speed WiFi, international Satellite TV and a myriad of cable channels from around the world. It is steps from Blue Flag and sandy beach "Playa Las Vistas" and minutes from the spectacular Golden Mile and vibrant Los Cristianos, with all the shopping, restaurants and entertainment options they both offer.

 It is no secret that Tenerife is considered to have one of the best climates in the world.  And within the island, the South is where you can enjoy a day at the beach almost every day of the year and its beautiful sunny skies. Among all the places in the South, Playa Las Vistas offers -for me at least- the perfect combination of a gorgeous Blue Flag sandy beach without big ships -like you find at the Port-, strong winds or rocks.

I fell in love with this apartment from the moment I saw it: it is only meters away from a sandy and certified Blue Flag beach.  No walking up or down hill from and to the beach and no stairs on the street either.   Speaking of stairs, if you have some mobility issues, this place might be for you: ...

Where to stay in South Tenerife

The Canary Islands are considered by many to be blessed with one of the best climates in the world.  Not too hot, not too cold! In Tenerife, depending the time of the year, you can see snow, rain and sun and enjoy the water at the beach, all in the same day. There is a stark contrast between the North of the island and the South.  The North, like Puerto de la Cruz receives a generous amount of rain and it helps create a lush vegetation that covers incredible trails. The South, by contrast, receives very little rain, which makes it ideal to enjoy the sun almost every day of the year.  It is no wonder then that tourist of all ages from around the world visit this part of the island all year round! Now, many people always want to know where to stay in South Tenerife. Of course, this is a matter of personal choice and optics: There are plenty of little and big towns in the South, and even more beaches to chose from.  The following is just a selection of some of these pla...
