Ocean views aplenty – this ground-floor family villa in Poris de Abona is perfect for those seeking sun and sea. The interior isn't the most exciting, but it's clean and functional.

While you’re never short of sea views here, if you fancy a day at the beach –– Playa del Poris is just a short walk away.

This home is a rare find – it has a peaceful and private setting, and yet it's just a few minutes walk from the historic city of La Orotava. Surrounded by a plantation of avocados, relax on the multiple terraces (five no less), cool off from the Tenerife sun in the infinity waterfall pool with its Atlantic Ocean vistas or unwind in the hot tub. 

We love the professionally designed gardens – our favourite spot is the yoga/meditation corner –  very zen. There's a fantastic outdoor kitchen, too – cook up a feast while you enjoy the fabulous views of Mount Teide, the forests and hills. As sunset arrives, pick some mint for your mojitos from the herb garden or feel free to pick a lemon for your G&T. As the light continues to fade, gather around the designer fire pit. 

Or, on cooler evenings, cosy up in front of the wood-burning stove indoors. Here, you'll find gorgeous beamed, vaulted ceilings, as well as original pictures and sculptures.

There's plenty to do out and about too. Hire a bike and explore the terrain (many professional cycling teams train here). If you prefer something a bit less energetic, there are three golf courses within easy reach, including one designed by Seve Ballestros. The nearest beach is 3 kilometres away, along with the popular resort beaches and Lido in Puerto de la Cruz, while La Orotava has an array of cafes, shops, bars and restaurants within walking distance.

Surrounded by palm trees and greenery, this Tenerife home transports you to scenes of South East Asia; an exotic paradise alive with botanica. Your own terracotta temple worships nature to the fullest, with hidden coves of seated areas, terraces, a pond, and trickling fountain. Alongside the tranquil beauty, the outdoors comes with a touch of fun and games too, boasting a children’s playhouse and flat lawn for a kick about. There’s a stone patio with a built-in barbecue for outdoor dining and a pool to dive straight into. Inside, wooden floors and ceilings, a tiled kitchen, and exposed beams carry that rustic feel. A balcony runs the entire length of the house, fringed with old-world wooden railings. Within walking distance, the shops, restaurants, bars, and supermarkets of La Orotava beckon, as does the beauty and history of Unesco World Heritage site, El Parque Nacional de las Canadas del Tiede.

The interior is formed by deluxe furnishings and the outdoor space is decorated in cute seating spots – this cosy villa is an oasis of comfort in every aspect. 

For the days where you just fancy chilling indoors, there are three smart TV's and a vibrant open-plan living space to relax. Wander into the colourful garden and you'll feel like you're truly on holiday. A pool is tucked around the corner and snug seating spots shape the area. 

On the warm, sunny afternoons, the pool is an idyllic spot to bask under the gentle rays. Grab a drink from the fridge to cool down, or immerse in a sunbathing session on the sun beds. Come the evening, share tapas, paella and a bottle of wine on the outdoor dining table. 

When the sun sets on the colourful outdoors, snuggle up in a cushioned seat to watch the sky turn a dusty red. You can even head to the beach for sunset – or any time you fancy – for a dreamy summer setting. And of course, there's a world-class golf-course on the resort that's waiting to be discovered.

Green Dunes

Ping Pong Table

This sparkling villa is tailor-made for large families or groups of friends looking for private luxury in rural Gran Canaria. Blessed with tranquility and boasting a fun-filled games room, it has the vibe of a five-star hotel that's reserved just for you. 

A huge open-plan living space – decorated in white walls and with tinges of colour on the furniture – is perfect for spending time as one group. However, when the sun sets on the terracotta tiles, you probably want to spend time outdoors. 

The huge terrace is adorned by intimate seating areas, comfy sun beds and, of course, the glistening pool. Every member of the group can fit in the pool, making it an idyllic spot for games of volleyball or water polo. Continuing the competitive side, get the rallies going during table tennis or practice your shooing at table football. 

Come the peace of the evening, there are two cute dining tables on the terrace, perfect for sharing tapas and a bottle of Cava. If you wanted to get out and discover the island, the charming restaurants and bars of Maspalomas are just a short drive away.

Yellow Stars

Rain Shower

Shared Pool

Hit rest and reset with Gran Canaria's year-round sunshine and vast golden shores at this smart townhouse offering up direct access to the sheltered beaches of Playa Pasito Blanco in a quiet residential complex.

Spend lazy, hazy mornings by the sandy beach, then beat the heat with a cooling dip in the complex's palm-fringed shared pool. There are sea view cabanas if the urge for a cheeky siesta takes over. Or head home for drinks on your private terrace overlooking the shared pool. 

Inside, you'll love the crisp, contemporary interiors that unite this three-storey townhouse. The place dazzles from top to toe in crisp white, while nautical stripes remind you the deep blue sea is never far away. Over in the pared-back, light-filled bedrooms, kids will love the novelty of the ground-floor bedroom with bunkbeds. While grown-ups can have that top floor suite with a private terrace all to themselves – the perfect spot for peaceful morning coffees to kickstart your day.

If little ones are still full of beans after a day at the beach, the shared playground will keep them happy. Then mosey down to the marina (a five-minute stroll) to gawp at the superyachts before dinner at one of the complex's restaurants. Or, for something a little buzzier, jump in the car for an evening in Meloneras (a five-minute drive). The beach bars and grill restaurants lining the Paseo de las Meloneras waterfront are just the spot for soaking up the sunsets.

Say a Little Playa

24-Hour Security

Situated within a villa complex less than ten minutes' drive from Maspolamas, this recently renovated home will sing to those fond of contemporary design.

Large windows and glass doors bring plenty of natural light into the interior and this asset works particularly well with the wealth of reflective surfaces and stark white walls. There's a preference for minimalism in everything from the sleek kitchen to the pared-back approach to decoration, and we think the host has nailed it.

Besides, you might not actually be spending all that much time indoors, what with the swimming pool out in the garden, along with the barbecue and covered terrace complete with a lounge and alfresco dining table. Here, it's welcomingly easy to make the most of Gran Canaria's year-round warmth.

Elsewhere in the complex, there's a golf course 200m away from the home, as well as entertainment for children and a couple of shops and restaurants. You can also reach many of the beaches that run along the southern coastline of the island in under ten minutes' drive, while the Dunes of Maspalomas don't take much longer, either.

A shining white palace overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, this home and its concierge team bend over backwards to give you and your guests a holiday that fuses luxury with relaxation.

You’ll wake up each morning knowing that your breakfast is to be handled by your private chef and your transport will be in the hands of your driver. Not that you’ll necessarily be taking many trips – with its outdoor swimming pool, private gym (with enough equipment that nobody will be left waiting), sunken jacuzzi, massage & beauty room, sunset bar – we could go on – you’ll be wrestling with the thought of just staying at home.

Though if you do wish to visit the local area, you won’t be bored. With the Teno mountain range, sandy beaches like the chic Playa del Duque, entertainment and fine dining all nearby, you’ll want to balance your home comforts with your adventurous streak. 

This home is perfect for groups of friends and families, being stretched over several floors and with plenty of space. Replete with plenty of artwork and silver-coloured furniture, the home feels almost futuristic, and it provides a great backdrop as you mingle with your guests in the various living spaces and dining areas.

Villa Amore

Situated on a golfing resort and just a short drive to the beach, this cosy villa satisfies every style of holiday. Golf fanatics can hit the lush greens in the day time, whilst the beach-lovers can lay their towels on the golden sand. It's a location that caters to every vibe.

In between swinging from the tee and swimming in the azure waters of the Mediterranean Sea, you'll probably need some down time at the villa. The dreamy outdoor space is where you'll spend most of your time, whether it's taking a dip in the pool or lounging on the sun beds.

A cute outdoor table is tucked under the veranda, perfect for sharing freshly made tapas and a crisp glass of Rioja wine. There's also a table inside, sheltered from the scorching rays of the sun, for the snug nights in.

When the orange hues of sunset illuminate the villa, make your way to the balcony on the second floor. Bring a camera to capture the romance of the moment with your favourite people. 

Birdies & Canaries

Modern, beautiful, and cosy, The property is a spacious and bright 4-room villa located in the heart of Punta Hidalgo. Nestled in a peaceful residential area just 130 meters from the sea, this charming villa offers a perfect blend of comfort and tranquility. Step into the open living/dining room with its tasteful and comfortable furnishings, providing a relaxing atmosphere. The villa features three bedrooms, including a master bedroom with a king-sized bed and breathtaking sea views. Get closer to nature in the beautiful garden or unwind in the hot tub. Explore nearby attractions such as Piscina Natural Punta del Hidalgo and Faro Punta del Hidalgo, or take a short walk to Playa del Arenal, a sandy beach perfect for sunbathing.

Oceanview Hideaway

Access to Gym / Spa

You've got the best of both worlds at this contemporary villa, set within one of Gran Canaria's most exclusive golf retreats and just an eight-minute drive from expansive golden sands and rolling dunes of Maspalomas beach and Playa del Inglés.

Friends getting together for a holiday will love how spacious this home feels, with two bedrooms spaced apart across the two-storey villa and offering up private shower rooms and direct access to suntrap verandas. But it's that outdoor terrace downstairs with a private heated pool and views of the fairways and mountains beyond that's caught our attention – it's the perfect spot to toast the day with drinks and a barbecue.

When it's time to hit the fairways of the resort's 18-hole golf course, it's just a 200-metre shot away. However, you don't need to be a dab hand with the clubs to enjoy the perks of this resort. Located on the grounds of a luxurious hotel complex, there are plenty of activities to keep the kids entertained (for an additional fee) – think playroom, playground, and kids club. And a spa and shared sunset infinity pool and bar for post-game relaxation. When thoughts turn to food, book yourself a table at the resort's renowned brasserie or mooch into Maspalomas for the evening at one of its smart seafront tavernas.

Surrounded by rugged desert landscapes dotted with cacti and offering panoramic views towards the Atlantic Ocean, this home just outside Tijoco Bajo on the island of Tenerife is the perfect escape for those looking for relaxation.
 
Inside, a calm, natural colour palette and a chic, minimalist decor will put you immediately at ease in the open-plan living space. We love the collection of leafy houseplants that brings that island feeling inside, as well as the large windows proferring ocean views. Kick back on the sofa with one of the books on the shelves or slide open the glass doors here to step out onto a private terrace. Equipped with a shaded dining table and chairs, as well as a barbecue, this is where you’ll want to gather for celebratory alfresco meals while feasting on the stunning views. You'll also find a day bed that invites you to catch up on your holiday reading between luxurious dips in the hot tub.
 
When you’re ready to turn in at the end of the night, the stylishly pared-back bedrooms beckon a blissful night’s sleep, as well as memorable wake-ups to ocean and desert vistas after pulling back the blinds. And should you need to catch up on work before getting down to the business of leisure, you’ll find a handy desk space in the main bedroom. 
 
When it comes to exploring the local area, drive six minutes to discover a taste of authentic Tenerife life in the village of Tijoco Bajo, or drive fifteen minutes to spend sunny afternoons at Playa de Ajabo. Hikers will love exploring the trails through the Barranco de Erques national park (a fifteen-minute drive), while families can enjoy a fun-filled day at Aqualand Costa Adeje, also fifteen minutes away by car.

In the vibrant resort town of Maspalomas, this family-sized villa puts golf courses, sand dune beaches and a shopping mall on your doorstep. It’s a two-minute drive to the nearest golf course and a five-minute drive to the dunes of Maspalomas Beach (or half-hour walk if you fancy). 

Once you’ve had your fill of the Saharan-style landscape, head back to this plush villa to cool off in the private swimming pool. Loungers sit on the astroturf out here and there’s outdoor dining around the corner, on the covered patio. Open up the glass doors to the living room, and blend indoors with outdoors. Mustard-yellow sofas and ink-black artworks create a stylish seating area, and the kitchen just behind has everything you need for self-catering. If you’re not dining outside (there’s a gas grill out here too) then you can have a quick meal at the sleek, black breakfast bar. Those that need to work remotely will appreciate the pristine white dedicated office.

Rooftop Terrace

Overlooking the picturesque and family-friendly fishing village of Puerto de Mogán and set just metres from its 200m-long beach, this top floor apartment enjoys an enviable location in one of the sunniest spots on Earth. 

With an average of 320 days of sun per year, this tranquil southern section of the Gran Canaria coast as good as guarantees great weather, meaning you're free to make the most of the stunning rooftop terrace, soak up some rays on the nearby beach, and explore the nearby canals – the source of the town's nickname, 'Venice of the Canaries'.

However, there's more to Puerto de Mogán than simply sun, sea and sand, with a bustling Friday market attracting visitors from all over the island, plus Instagrammable houses that back the yacht-lined marina.

Back at the apartment, there's an open-plan living area that leads directly out onto an east-facing balcony – perfect for that early morning cup of coffee in the sunshine. Meanwhile, the rooftop terrace some equipped with plenty of comfy seating and a basic outdoor kitchen, so you're free to tuck into alfresco feasts with views out over the town.

Elsewhere, the island has plenty of natural wonders to discover, including the stunning Maspalomas dunes (26km) and the jaw-dropping mountain landscapes that lead towards Pico de las Nieves (45km), while you only need to travel a short distance from shore to find pods of dolphins and whales that call these waters home.


Little Venice Dawn

Throws

Overlooking a lush green golf course and the sparkling Atlantic Ocean, this nectarine-coloured villa is the definition of a tropical escape. We could spend all day here lolling about on the terrace, admiring those views – all that's missing is a refreshing cocktail and a magazine. For catnaps in the fresh air, there's no better spot than the Balinese bed, while the heated swimming pool is the perfect place to cool off on sweltering summer afternoons. The whole villa faces west to make the most of the sunshine – as such, it's no surprise that the sunsets here are pretty spectacular. We think they pair best with grilled seafood (locally sourced, of course) and a bottle of Gran Canarian white wine, all enjoyed alfresco as the night rolls in.

When you're ready for adventure, you won't need to travel far. Enjoy a day on the links at the complex's golf course – you'll receive a special discount – or treat yourself to dinner and drinks at the restaurants on-site. Fancy a beach day? Playa de Maspalomas is a sixteen-minute drive away and famous for its vast sand dunes – it's a can't-miss while you're in town.

The allure of this villa, seated atop Playa de la Arena, softly whispered by the ocean waves and bathed in the warm sun rays, is entrancing. It comfortably houses six with three distinct sleeping spaces, each offering a unique view. Picture yourself sipping morning cava on the balcony overlooking the rising ocean waves, or perhaps you prefer gazing at the majestic Mount Teide from another vantage point. Boasting an outdoor terrace complete with private swimming pool, enveloped in radiant sunshine and sheltered under a motorized sun canopy for those seeking refuge in the warm shade. With the living room's glass doors open wide to invite fresh sea breeze that teases your senses to step beyond the sheltered inside to explore the whims of outdoor Tenerife further.

Canary Lavender

Go off-grid for a while at this swoon-worthy casa perched amidst the hills of the charming town of Tejeda. Outside, this home may look like a traditional Finca. But step inside, and there’s nothing twee about this stylish abode. Creative types will love the boho feel about this place. Rustic, natural hues provide a subtle backdrop to those architectural picture windows, revealing blue skies and far-reaching mountains landscapes. Pad out across the cool wooden floors onto the sun terrace with your morning coffee. Come together for alfresco lunches beneath the dappled sun peeking through the bougainvillea vines. Cool off from the midday sun in the shared infinity pool. Or feel anew beneath the outdoor shower. Wherever you choose to while away the time, those views will be right there. As night draws in and the lights of nearby Tejeda begin to twinkle, take a seat beside the outdoor fire pit and prepare to be dazzled as a blanket of stars engulf the sky. And despite its tranquil setting, you’re closer to the action than you think. The charming town of Tejeda is just ten minutes on foot, with its traditional restaurants and the sublime pastry shop, Dulceria Nublo (prepare to join a queue). Or for something a little more adrenaline-pumping, there’s ecotours and rock climbing aplenty close by. Though it’s highly likely, you may never want to leave this place.
