Within easy walking distance::
There are many shops, cafes, supermarkets, restaurants (good and substantial meals in a variety of world cuisines), telephone and post boxes, taxi ranks etc all within easy walk of the villa. There is plenty to see and do in Playa de las Americas: The beachfront walk extends for miles in each direction from the villa and is mostly flat and level. To the left is bustling Los Cristianos with its port and to the right, through the centre of Playa de las Americas and up the steps over geranium-lined terraces are Puerto Colon yacht marina, Torviscas, and the newly developed Playa Fanabe and Bahia del Duque areas. The new Congress Centre with concerts and other performances is a short walk away and also a Casino.
Children's facilities and Local attractions::
In both directions along the beachfront walk there are fixed playgrounds for small children, and there is a large climbing frame on the beach in Los Christianos. Depending on the season, there may also be a variety of commercial activities in various locations: trampolining, bungee trampolining, “ice” skating (plastic surface) and bouncy castles.
Local attractions include the Aqualand water park (waterslides), Las Aguilas del Teide (eagles and many other animals, jungle adventure playground), a small zoo, Cactus Park and Amazonia, and banana plantation.
Excursions and Golf::
In Adeje you can walk up the Barranco del Infierno gorge to the waterfall and there are many other popular local walks.
