Los Cristianos – Vibrant Coastal Living with Traditional Heart

On the south coast of Tenerife, Los Cristianos blends lively resort life with authentic Canarian spirit. Once a small fishing harbour, it has grown to become one of the island’s popular resorts, boasting golden beaches, a lively harbour, lively promenade, and a thriving international community. It’s a place where you can spend your morning shopping in artisan markets, your afternoon on a boat to spot dolphins, and your evening with toes in the sand at a restaurant by the beach.

Location & Lifestyle: Where Is Los Cristianos?

Just 15 minutes from Tenerife South Airport and lying adjacent to the lively Playa de las Américas, Los Cristianos enjoys a perfect location for both residents and visitors. Its principal beach is guarded and perfect for a refreshing dip, while the lively promenade stretches for miles, linking seamlessly to neighbouring beaches and marinas. Many locals begin their day with a coffee at one of the harbour cafés before browsing the Sunday market for fresh fruit, cheeses, and locally made crafts. As evening falls, the town shifts to a relaxed hum, with live music drifting from pubs and the golden glow of sunset dancing across the water. Right in the heart of this vibrant seaside setting, you’ll find the Serneholt Estate Tenerife office at Calle Valle Menéndez 22, 38650 Los Cristianos Beach. We’re just a short stroll from the harbour and promenade, making it easy to pop in while exploring town—whether you’d like to discuss your property search, get insider advice on the area, or simply enjoy a coffee with us while watching the world go by.

Eating: Varied, Delicious, and Fresh Alloys

Restaurant dining in Los Cristianos has something to please every palate—tapas and traditional Canarian fare and international food. Being a fishing community, seafood is never off the menu, with sea-side restaurants serving fresh catch grilled to perfection. The local favourite is reputed to be El Cine, a humble eatery tucked away behind the promenade, famous for its squid and fresh fish dishes. Alternatively, try something a little more classy at Chill Out, where Mediterranean flavors are served up with trendy cocktails on the rooftop over the sea.

Shopping: Boutiques to Local Treasures

High-street names, boutiques, and craft shops characterize the town centre. At weekends, the busy Sunday market near the harbour is a favourite haunt among locals, where one can buy hand-made jewellery, local vintages, and vividly coloured ceramics. A dash of modernity in shopping is available at the Siam Mall, which is nearby and easily reached by taxi and boasts international brand names, as well as food courts and entertainment.

Healthcare: Comprehensive and Convenient

Los Cristianos has better health facilities, such as pharmacies, private clinics, and hospitals nearby. Being close to Hospiten Sur, the locals and tourists alike have access to top-tier care with multilingual staff and first-class facilities—a welcome relief to those relocating from abroad.
