5 Tenerife Festivals Worth Planning Your Trip Around
Whenever you visit, there’s sure to be something going on, from colorful parades to riotous street parties. Here are some of the best festivals in the largest Canary Island.
With sweeping views over the Atlantic and Los Gigantes cliffs, Oasis Los Gigantes swimming pool complex boasts a shallow children’s pool with slides and a heated saltwater infinity pool for older kids and adults. Beyond taking a dip, you eat at the restaurant, grab a drink from the bar, bowl on the green, and relax on the daybeds.
Book online, ahead of time, to reserve your sunbed, which is included in the price of an adult ticket. The stylish day beds, branded as Balinese beds, must be booked in advance and sell out fast in high season. Choose between standard and deluxe options, which include pool entrance, and then kick back and relax and enjoy a day full of amenities.
Oasis Los Gigantes is a great choice for sunseekers, families with kids, and those in search of a swim.
The deluxe Bali beds offer views of cliffs and ocean.
Be aware that, while kids under 3 go free, anyone over 10 counts as an adult.
Oasis Los Gigantes is reasonably accessible for travelers who use wheelchairs, with wheelchair-friendly paths, ramps, and bathrooms.
Oasis Los Gigantes sits in Los Gigantes, a resort town on Tenerife’s west coast, just a short stroll from the town’s marina. The 477 bus runs from Costa Adeje up the coast to Los Gigantes and neighboring Puerto de Santiago, but the easiest way to arrive is to drive.
The Los Gigantes pools are open from morning to early evening in summer, closing earlier in winter. The saltwater pool is heated in winter, making it an excellent choice when daytime weather is warm enough to swim but night temperatures can chill hotel pools.
A low-rise resort town, Los Gigantes takes its name from the giant cliffs, Los Gigantes, which rise as high as 2,625 feet (850 meters) from the Atlantic. The town has one small beach, making swimming pools, including natural saltwater pools, a popular option. Whale-watching and dolphin-watching tours head out regularly from Los Gigantes marina, while there are a wealth of shops, bars, and restaurants in town.
