Secret beaches of Tenerife: discover little-known paradisiacal spots

Tenerife is known for its beaches, yes…but it also hides wild and lonely corners that many visitors never get to discover. Away from the more touristy areas, there are hidden coves, unspoiled beaches, and small bays where time seems to stand still, the sea is bluer, and the connection with nature is absolute.

From Las Casas Tenerife, we offer you not only a luxury holiday home but also local knowledge so you can experience something unique, away from the noise and very close to the purest essence of the island.

Beyond the typical: the other beaches of Tenerife

If you already know Playa de las Américas, Los Cristianos, or El Médano, it’s time to go a step further. On the southern, northern, and western coasts of the island, there are natural jewels waiting for you with volcanic landscapes, crystal-clear waters, and a tranquility that's hard to find.

These beaches are perfect for those staying in a luxury villa in Tenerife who want to alternate relaxation with exploration, without sacrificing comfort or authenticity.

Our 6 favourite secret beaches

1. Playa de Diego Hernández (Adeje)

Also known as “The Caleta of the Hippies”, it is a pristine cove of light sand and calm waters. It can only be reached on foot from El Puertito, which ensures little foot traffic and a natural setting.

2. Playa de Benijo (Anaga)

Located in the north, surrounded by cliffs and with spectacular views at sunset. It’s perfect for photography lovers and wild nature enthusiasts. Ideal for a full day plan from your holiday home in the south.

3. Playa de los Patos (La Orotava)

A huge beach with volcanic black sand, very little crowded. It is accessed on foot via a slightly sloped path, but the effort is worth it.

4. El Bollullo (Puerto de la Cruz)

More well-known than others on the list, but still tranquil. Surrounded by vegetation and with a beach bar where you can enjoy something cool. The ideal combination of nature and service.

5. Playa de Abama (Guía de Isora)

A small beach hidden beneath a cliff, next to a luxury hotel, but open to the public. Golden sand, calm sea, and very accessible from our villas in the south.

6. Playa del Porís (Porís de Abona)

A gem for those seeking authenticity. A fishing village, few people, and an environment that seems frozen in time. Perfect for combining with local lunch.

Tenerife is discovered in its hidden corners

The best travel stories are not always found where everyone goes. Sometimes, they are hidden along a dirt path, behind a cliff, or at the end of a walk amongst bushes and lava.

At Las Casas Tenerife, we invite you to live the island like a local, with the level of comfort and exclusivity you deserve.

Because true luxury is discovering what few know…and having a private home waiting for you at the end of the day.
