Playa de la Arena, on the southwest coast of the island, welcomes visitors with a true holiday atmosphere! This charming town is renowned for its excellent beach, inviting restaurants, and friendly bars. Developed 30–40 years ago, it has since merged seamlessly with the former fishing village of Puerto de Santiago and is home to several upscale 4- and 5-star hotels. Thanks to its location, it’s one of the warmest spots on the island, with great weather almost every day of the year.

For those who love long seaside walks, this is paradise: one way takes you to Alcalá, the other to Los Gigantes, always with the vast ocean in view. It’s also one of the best places to enjoy the island’s most spectacular sunsets. What’s more, the town lies within a marine national park, home to dolphins and whales – with a bit of luck, you can spot them playing or sunbathing close to shore during your walk.

Everyday convenience is guaranteed with two nearby HiperDino Express stores (one just 2 minutes’ walk away). A short drive will take you to larger supermarkets such as Mercadona and Lidl. The local food scene is fantastic: Bombay Babu for Indian cuisine, Pepi Vintage for pizza lovers, China Town for Asian flavours, and Cappuccino Maria for coffee and dessert fans.
