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.
