Los Cristianos delivers classic Tenerife sunshine with a calmer feel than its neighbours. Think easy beach days, good eats and no-fuss fun.
Are Los Cristianos holidays worth it?
Absolutely. Los Cristianos is one of the best places to stay in Tenerife if you want a mix of beaches, buzzing promenades, proper Canarian food and a lively atmosphere without being chaotic. It’s ideal for families, couples and anyone who wants great weather, calm swimming conditions and easy access to nearby hotspots like Playa de las Américas and Costa Adeje.
What makes Los Cristianos holidays the Goldilocks of The Golden Triangle?
Gorgeous beaches, lovely restaurants, decent nightlife, and authentic Canarian charm, without the hubbub of Playa de las Américas or the cost of Costa Adeje.
This resort town is full of holidaymakers but still feels like a real place where actual Spanish people live and work. You'll find bars where fishermen grab their morning coffee, restaurants serving proper home-cooked meals, and that lovely, relaxed, Spanish, atmosphere.
What's the best beach to visit on your holidays to Los Cristianos?
Playa de Los Cristianos is the main beach here and it's absolutely lovely - a wide stretch of golden sand in a sheltered, horseshoe-shaped bay that's perfect for families, couples, or anyone who likes their swimming without added adventure from Atlantic waves!
What's the food like on Los Cristianos holidays?
Casa del Mar serves incredible fresh seafood right by the harbour - their grilled fish is so good it'll make you understand why people rave about Mediterranean cuisine. The prices are reasonable too, which is always a pleasant surprise when you're eating somewhere with ocean views.
Restaurante Los Roques does excellent traditional Canarian cuisine with generous portions and that authentic family-run atmosphere. For something more international, La Fontana serves brilliant Italian food that rivals anything you'd find in Rome, but with significantly better weather outside!
Is the nightlife good on holidays to Los Cristianos?
The evening entertainment here strikes a balance between having enough to do and not being so intense that you need a holiday to recover from your holiday! There are plenty of bars with live music, traditional tavernas where you can try local wines, and enough variety to keep you entertained without feeling overwhelmed.
Things to do on Los Cristianos holidays?

Fishing for a good time
All in all, Los Cristianos is a great choice for a jollie. It's basically the "just right" option that keeps families, couples, and budget-conscious travellers coming back year after year. Plus, the benefit of staying in The Golden Triangle is that if you do want to treat yourself to a fancy meal, or bust a move or ten on a big night out, Costa Adeje, and Playa De Las Americas are just a short walk down the coast.
