The Lago Martiánez Swimming Pools are a complex of stylish salt-water bathing pools with floating islands. By day, it’s a chic swimming complex complete with bars and restaurants, while at night, the energy rises to a whole new level as visitors flock to its underground casino.

With clear waters, soft sands and palm trees, it’s no surprise that Teresitas Beach is often compared to the stunning beaches of the Caribbean. Note that although the island is covered with mostly rough, black-sand beaches, Teresitas has imported yellow sands, making it a popular choice for locals and tourists alike. Although the beach can get a little crowded on weekends, the atmosphere remains remarkably laid-back.

Las Vistas Beach is one of the largest and most popular beaches in Arona, with calm waters and plenty of space to spread out a towel. Visit this idyllic beach as the perfect place to spend an afternoon swimming, snorkeling or relaxing in the sand.

One of the longest beaches in Tenerife, crescent-shaped El Médano Beach is bordered by dramatic sandy dunes, with the rugged mountain peak of Montana Roja rising to the west. The seasonal trade winds make it a world-class destination for windsurfing and kitesurfing, while its laid-back atmosphere makes it a great spot for relaxing.
