Buying in south Tenerife

The south of Tenerife is where the island's sunshine is most reliable and where most international buyers look first. Costa Adeje, with Fañabé, Torviscas, La Caleta and Playa Paraíso, has villas, townhouses and apartments in complexes with gardens and pools, many with sea views. Los Cristianos keeps a real town centre around its port and promenade, and Playa de las Américas, shared between Adeje and Arona, is the liveliest stretch of the coast.

Further east, Golf del Sur, Los Abrigos and El Médano are quieter, with golf, small fishing villages and the steady wind that brings kitesurfers to El Médano. Tenerife South airport is close to all of them. When you compare homes, ask about the community of owners and its rules, and about holiday rental if you plan to let the property: it depends on the building, the municipality and Canary Islands rules that have recently become stricter.

Frequently asked questions

Can I rent out a home in south Tenerife to holidaymakers?

Only if the property can get the holiday rental registration it needs. That depends on Canary Islands rules, which have recently become stricter, on the municipality and on the rules of the community of owners. Ask us to check a specific home before you make an offer.

Costa Adeje or Los Cristianos: which suits me?

Costa Adeje is mostly residential complexes and villas, often with sea views and pools. Los Cristianos is a working town with shops, a port and life all year round. Tell us how you plan to use the home and we will show you both.

Which taxes do I pay when buying in south Tenerife?

On a resale home, the property transfer tax (ITP) of the Canary Islands; on a new build, the Canary Islands indirect tax (IGIC) plus stamp duty. The rates are published by the Agencia Tributaria Canaria. Our buying guide explains the other costs.

Will I deal with someone who speaks English?

Yes. An English-speaking agent from our Tenerife office looks after your search, the viewings and every step up to the notary.
