Costa Del Silencio Holidays 2013

There’s a mix of hotels available for families in Costa Del Silencio to suit all budgets including the Marino Tenerife Hotel which provides an apartment setting in serene tropical gardens, closer to the beach than others in the area. It also has a spacious pool if you fancy relaxing by its side.

A small strip of volcanic stones make up the shoreline of the resort and although you will have to walk along the coast to Las Galletas for sand, this area is renowned for its watersports. If you’re not feeling so adventurous, the area also has fantastic shopping. On a family holiday to Costa Del Silencio, you will also find it’s a great base on which to explore the north of Tenerife for its water and animal parks which the kids will love.

You can rest assured on your family holiday that everyone’s tastes will be catered for, as in the resort there’s a good mix of cuisine available in the many restaurants and cafes that line the streets and seafront- everything from English to traditional Spanish and fresh seafood.

The resort offers a mixed range of hotels available to suit all budgets, and most with swimming pools to compensate for the lack of white sand beach in the resort itself. Hotel Palia Don Pedro is an ideal place to stay for laid back relaxation, surrounded by beautiful tropical gardens.

As the ‘silencio’ may suggest, the name translates as ‘the silent coast’, so does not contain many late night spots, however taking a romantic walk down to the fishing village of Las Galletas will reward you with some prime places to have a few drinks and watch the boats come in. If it’s more late night bars and busy clubs you’re looking for on your summer holiday, walk along further to Playa de las Americas to party the night away.

We recommend giving windsurfing or scuba diving a go when on holiday in Costa Del Silencio. The resorts coastline is renowned for its steady winds and rocky shoreline that attracts adrenaline junkies the world around for their excellent mix of underwater life, due to the islands volcanic formation.

If you’re on holiday in Tenerife, you will definitely see and hear about Mount Teide- the highest point in Spain and Tenerife’s very own resident volcano, sitting at a rather breath taking 3718 metres above sea level. Still active and considered as a mythological mountain by the ancient Greeks, Teide provides a fascinating insight into the history of the island.

While on holiday in Costa del Silencio, a popular activity is to take day trips away from the resort, and return to relax later in the evening. It’s an excellent base to see the island, and excursions are available to Mount Teide, Gomera Islands and the mythical Guimar Pyramids to name just a few.
