Why go?
A little more relaxed than nearby Playa de las Americas, holidays in Los Cristianos revolve around its lively harbour, pretty old town and 2-mile stretch of dark sand. Baked in year-round sunshine, Los Cristianos' man-made beach is perfect for soaking up the rays, enjoying a good book under an umbrella or swimming in warm turquoise waters. With its friendly, relaxed atmosphere, it's easy to see why holidays in Los Cristianos are so popular with families and couples. Spend laidback afternoons and chilled out evenings enjoying tapas and local seafood in the many cafes and restaurants lining the bustling harbour, and explore the charming Old Town, little shops and busy Sunday market.
Things to do
You can take a stroll in Los Cristianos' surrounding countryside, and from the harbour, you'll find plenty of water-based activities like scuba diving, fishing trips and glass bottom boat excursions. Catching a ferry to the secluded island of La Gomera is a must. Holidays in Los Cristianos are ideal for fun family days out; spend a day getting soaked at AquaPark Octopus, meet the animals at Tenerife Zoo, scream your head off on the white-knuckle rides at the Costa Adeje's Siam Park. Los Cristianos' nightlife is fun but relaxed, with Spanish and international restaurants and beachfront bars. For a big night out, take a taxi a couple of miles along the coast to Playa de las Americas, and let your hair down in its lively bars and pulsating clubs.
