Iberostar Selection Anthelia is a resort-style hotel in Costa Adeje, the smartest stretch of Tenerife’s south-west coast. Costa Adeje has the island’s most reliable sunshine, a long seafront promenade, calm beaches and a wide choice of restaurants, which makes it the natural base for first-time visitors and families who want everything close. A resort of this kind usually offers several pools, gardens, a choice of restaurants and bars, a spa area and organised entertainment, so you can spend whole days on site or use it as a launchpad for the island. From Costa Adeje, Siam Park is a short drive or bus ride away, the harbour at Puerto Colón is the departure point for whale and dolphin cruises and catamaran trips, and the golf courses and beaches of the south-west coast are nearby. The airport at Tenerife South is about thirty to forty minutes away by road.
Location and getting around
The coast road and the promenade link the hotel to the beaches, shops and restaurants of Costa Adeje, and taxis and buses connect to Playa de las Américas and Los Cristianos. Most excursions, from Teide tours to boat trips, collect guests from this area, so you can do without a hire car if you prefer. If you do drive, parking arrangements vary, so check them when booking.
The rooms and facilities
Check the booking page for the room types, views and board options, and choose a room category that matches your priorities, whether that is a sea view, a quiet garden side or a family arrangement. Resorts in this part of the island often offer half-board or all-inclusive rates, which can simplify budgeting for families, though eating out in Costa Adeje is also a pleasure.
Who it suits
Families, couples and groups of friends who want a full-service beach holiday with easy access to the south coast’s main attractions. Active travellers can use it as a base for diving, kayaking, surfing, paragliding and boat trips. Guests who prefer a quiet, village-like setting may prefer the north.
Good to know
The south is the sunniest and driest part of the island, but the sea can be breezy and the Atlantic is cooler than the Mediterranean. Winter is mild, summer is warm and dry, and Teide can be cold at any time, so pack layers for mountain days. Check the current facilities, board options and renovation work on the booking page before you choose your dates.
Planning tip
Tours, boat trips and park tickets in busy weeks sell out earlier than rooms, so decide on your main outings when you fix your dates. Pair one big day with a slower one, and leave a spare day in case wind or cloud interferes with plans for the mountains or the sea.
