El Medano Holidays

Tenerife’s bohemian gem

Attracting ocean-loving water-sports fans, El Medano holidays are where you’ll discover Tenerife’s more bohemian side. Located on the south coast, this small town has maintained its Spanish roots and boasts an authentic atmosphere. With ideal conditions for waves, you’ll see lots of people out on the water – windsurfers, kitesurfers and those just using their boards to navigate the sea. There are plenty of surfing schools, too, if you fancy brushing up your skills.

The beaches are never too busy on holidays to El Medano, with tiny black volcanic stones on Playa Tejita and the landmark Montaña Roja plus a natural sandy beach in the town. Lots of independent shops and a large shopping mall fill the town centre where there’s also a wide range of places to eat and drink. El Medano is an idyllic, sporty hideaway, which is close enough to the action if you want a fun night out nearby.
