Located on the northeast side of the Canary Island of Tenerife, Las Caletillas is a popular but quiet resort offering excellent accommodation options for couples and young families. Around 9 miles from Tenerife’s Capital of Santa Cruz, and with easy access to the international airport, Las Caletillas is blessed by year round sunshine and benefits from a pretty black pebble volcanic beach.
The resort is well known for the various types of boat trips it provides for tourists. For a modest fee you can enjoy sailing trips, sightseeing boat cruises along the coast, or go looking for dolphins or if you’re lucky, even whales.
Big game fishing is extremely popular here too, with keen amateur anglers lining up to hook trophy fish such as Wahoo, White Marlin, Yellow Fin Tuna ad Dorado. Many holidaymakers have also bagged Hammerhead and Mako sharks off the coast too.
Las Caletillas benefits from a host of good restaurants, bars and shops – perfect for essentials and souvenirs alike. Evenings here are peaceful and involve eating out or enjoying a glass or two of wine in a local bar. If you want to go dancing in nightclubs, then nearby Playa De Las Teresitas or Santa Cruz are your best bets.
And for the perfect family day trip, why not visit Teide National Park? The majestic mountain of the same name located here is Spain’s highest. Back at the hotel, you can relax with a drink by the pool, go swimming or top up your tan with a copy of your favourite holiday novel.
