Playa Paraíso

A quieter resort area on the western edge of Costa Adeje, next to Callao Salvaje, built around large hotels and apartments.

Playa Paraíso sits on the coast beyond Callao Salvaje, about ten minutes' drive from the centre of Costa Adeje. It is calmer than the main resort, with several large hotels, apartment complexes and a small shopping centre. The natural beach is small, so many visitors use hotel pools or the seawater lagoon by the shore. A car or taxi is handy for reaching the bigger beaches and restaurants further south.

Best for: Resort hotels, quiet stays, sunsets
