Holidays to Los Cristianos

The man-made beaches are very well maintained and it has a wonderful harbour that offers fishing trips, pleasure cruises, glass bottom boat excursions, diving opportunities and ferries to the island of La Gomera. The resort has a range of accommodation the majority are self catering apartments and studios, there are several good hotels up to 4 star standard offering a variety of board arrangements including all inclusive.

Los Cristianos tends to attract a slightly older holidaymaker in comparison to Playa de las Americas and has managed to keep a little of its original architecture although this is hard to find amongst some of its recent development. What you will easily find is year round sunshine and a choice of pubs, clubs, shops, restaurants (Spanish, English and German) and a fairly relaxed nightlife. The nearby Aquapark Octopus is a must for any family plus the Tenerife Zoo and the Eagles Park are also within easy reach of Los Cristianos.

There are plenty of different restaurants to choose from at Los Cristianos, All tastes are catered for from a 'full English' breakfast to fine dining at its best. The nightlife in Los Cristianos is much more relaxed, it is best suited to people who prefer a quiet night at the waterfront, rather than a lively one. You can sit back and enjoy some live music entertainment but if it is a more lively night that you are looking for then there Playa de las Americas is a short taxi ride away.

During the day there is plenty to get involved in at Los Cristianos, a very popular activity is a hot air balloon ride over the resort also things such as snorkelling, scuba diving, surfing and wind surfing are also very popular and great fun.
