Costa Adeje: Beaches, leisure and excursions

Costa Adeje offers a range of options for your stay: beach days, water sports, theme parks, whale and dolphin watching excursions, as well as golf and footgolf. When searching for a hotel, you can first consider which of these activities will shape your travel plans. The options vary in type and scope, giving you specific points of reference for planning your time in Costa Adeje.

Beaches and water sports

Playa del Duque is located in the tourist area of Costa Adeje. A promenade runs along the beach and connects it to more than eight beaches. Playa de Fañabé is almost 600 metres long and offers a wide range of water sports right on the beach. This means you can compare the beaches from different perspectives: Playa del Duque stands out for its promenade and connections to other beaches, while Playa de Fañabé is notable for its length and water sports.

Theme parks with different focuses

Siam Park in Costa Adeje has 19 attractions and a design inspired by Thai culture. There are dedicated areas for younger visitors, including Lost City and Sawasdee, each of which has several attractions. Aqualand Costa Adeje combines a water park with a dolphinarium. Its themed areas for children include Mega Adventure Land, Isla Pirata, Puerto Pirata and Kid's Pool; Kid's Pool opened in April 2022. Aqualand also offers a leisurely ride on an inflatable ring along the more than 500-metre-long Lava River.

If you are weighing up the parks, their focuses are clearly different: Siam Park combines a Thai-inspired design with 19 attractions and areas for younger visitors; Aqualand combines a water park and dolphinarium with children's areas and an inflatable-ring ride.

Whale and dolphin watching

Boats for whale and dolphin watching depart from Puerto Colón. Excursions to watch whales and dolphins are also offered from the marina in Costa Adeje. White Tenerife is based in Puerto Colón in Costa Adeje and offers scheduled excursions as well as private charters. Whale-watching excursions include two-hour tours, tours lasting two to three hours, and sea trips of up to five hours. These different durations can help you fit an excursion into your daily schedule; check the specific offering to see how long it lasts.

For a boat trip, the duration is a specific point of comparison; for the parks, the key differences are their design and the areas mentioned. This can help you fit activities with different time and theme profiles into your stay.

Golf and footgolf

The championship course at Golf Costa Adeje has 18 holes and a par of 72. Footgolf can be played on the Campo Los Lagos course at Golf Costa Adeje. The number of holes and par refer to the championship course, while footgolf is played on Campo Los Lagos. This distinction makes clear that two different types of play can be part of your travel plans.
