Costa Amore | 8-Bedroom Villa in Santa Cruz de Tenerife Adeje

Fourteen guests descend the marble staircase into Costa Amore’s lower ground floor, where the Atlantic Ocean hums against the windows and Mount Teide dominates the horizon beyond the terrace. This luxury villa rental in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, positioned in the exclusive coastal enclave of La Caleta, commands unobstructed views across the northern coastline while remaining a fifteen-minute drive from the cultural heart of Santa Cruz itself. What distinguishes Costa Amore is not merely its eight bedrooms and eight bathrooms, but the deliberate spatial choreography that transforms a large family gathering or corporate retreat into something intimate—multiple kitchens, three living zones, and outdoor terraces designed for groups to naturally separate into smaller clusters without ever feeling distant.

Inside Costa Amore

Costa Amore sleeps 14 guests across 8 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms, distributed across three distinct floor levels that each serve a different rhythm of the day. The architecture prioritises privacy and functionality in equal measure: you won’t find all guests queuing for coffee.

Lower Ground Floor functions as the property’s entertainment and wellness spine. A spacious living room with deep comfortable seating flows directly onto the garden, making this the natural gathering point for pre-dinner gatherings. The open-plan dining area accommodates all fourteen guests around a single table—rare in villa rentals and essential for family meals. The professional kitchen here features a high-end coffee maker and dedicated juicer station, signalling that breakfast is taken seriously. For those who came to relax rather than socialise, the spa room offers private treatments. The games room houses a satellite television, football table, pool table, arcade racing machine, air hockey table, PlayStation 5, and Xbox X—equipment that transforms adults into competitive children for the evening. The fitness area is equipped throughout with Techno-Gym apparatus, including a Skill Run treadmill for those who refuse to abandon their training schedule. Le Cav, a soundproof party chamber, allows music and celebration to continue past reasonable hours without disturbing sleeping guests. A double bedroom with en-suite bathroom rounds out this floor, useful for staff quarters or early risers seeking privacy.

Ground Floor presents a different character—the social and administrative heart. A generous living room with satellite television and terrace access creates natural flow toward the outdoors. A separate office with working desk and L-shaped seating serves guests who need to conduct business (email calls, contract reviews) without retreating entirely from villa life. The dining area here seats ten in a more intimate arrangement than the lower level. A fully equipped professional kitchen stands ready for the included chef service or for ambitious guests who wish to cook. Four bedrooms occupy this level: one with double bed and en-suite, another with king-size bed plus single bed and en-suite, a third with double bed and en-suite, and a fourth with twin beds and en-suite. Each bathroom is private, eliminating the shared-facilities awkwardness that plagues even expensive villa rentals.

First Floor is deliberately quieter, a sanctuary for the principal guests or those seeking maximum distance from the games room below. The master bedroom features a super king-size bed, private balcony access, and an en-suite bathroom that functions almost as a personal spa. Two further bedrooms occupy this level, each with king-size bed, balcony access, and en-suite bathroom. The light here—especially from the west-facing balconies—shifts throughout the afternoon as the sun descends toward the Atlantic. At sunset, these bedrooms glow amber and rose, a reminder of the island’s geographical position.

Outdoor Spaces and Living

The garden and terraced areas surrounding Costa Amore transform the property from villa into resort. A private swimming pool anchors the outdoor space, surrounded by multiple sun loungers arranged in clusters—some in direct sun, others beneath parasols for those who prefer shade and conversation. Outdoor dining facilities accommodate groups that want to take breakfast or lunch on the terrace, with a covered section providing shelter during the brief Tenerife rainy seasons. A barbecue is permanently installed, eliminating the need to improvise grilled dinners. The jacuzzi offers evening immersion under the stars, typically warm enough for December through April swims without heating. A trampoline adds physical play to the grounds, popular with children and unselfconscious adults. The Tech Ball table—an updated interpretation of foosball—provides low-stakes entertainment in the open air. An ice bath sits adjacent to the sauna, for those pursuing cold-water recovery protocols. The garden furniture is substantial and comfortable, not the flimsy loungers that collapse under shifting weight. The entire outdoor space receives strong southern and western sunlight; this is genuinely a property where breakfast tastes better outdoors.

Location: Santa Cruz de Tenerife and the Surrounding Area

Costa Amore sits in La Caleta, a refined residential zone approximately 12km south of Santa Cruz de Tenerife’s historic centre, yet psychologically a world away. The location balances island lifestyle with genuine convenience: supermarkets and restaurants are 5-10 minutes by car, yet the property feels removed from tourism’s mechanical repetition. Santa Cruz itself—the island’s administrative capital—is worth a dedicated day trip. Tenerife Espacio de las Artes, the contemporary art museum designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architects Herzog and de Meuron (the same team responsible for London’s Tate Modern), sits in the city centre and houses three galleries plus a significant library. Admission is approximately €5, and the architecture alone justifies the visit. The city’s annual Carnival (February–March) is among Spain’s most celebrated, with parades, music, and street culture that rival Rio’s energy, though on a more intimate scale.

The southern beaches lie within 20-30 minutes of Costa Amore. Playa del Duque, 8km south in Adeje, is the island’s most elegant beach—soft golden sand, impossibly clear water, and upmarket restaurants lining the promenade. Playa Fanabe, immediately adjacent, offers similar quality with slightly fewer crowds. Playa Paraiso, a tranquil cove 12km south, is renowned for its resident fish populations and calm swimming. Whale and dolphin watching boat tours depart from multiple southern harbours—December through April is peak season, with sightings of pilot whales and Atlantic spotted dolphins virtually guaranteed.

Mount Teide National Park, 75km north of Costa Amore, is Spain’s most visited natural site. The cable car ascends to the volcanic crater rim at 3,555 metres, offering panoramic views across the Canary Islands on clear days. The drive takes approximately 90 minutes. Puerto de la Cruz, on the north coast (90km away), hosts the historic Jardin Botanico, a 230-year-old botanical garden established in 1788, featuring tropical plants, palms, and a 200-year-old Australian Moreton Bay fig. La Orotava, a charming colonial town 5km inland from Puerto de la Cruz, preserves 16th-17th century architecture in its historic centre. La Laguna, the island’s cultural capital, sits 20km north of Santa Cruz and features Plaza del Adelantado—a Renaissance square ringed by the town hall and a restored convent—plus Plaza del Cristo, where a weekly produce and flower market operates. Masca, positioned in the western mountains 70km from the villa, is repeatedly ranked Spain’s most visually striking village, carved into dramatic mountain terrain with hiking trails descending to isolated coves.

Who This Villa Suits Best

Multi-generational family groups benefit most from Costa Amore’s spatial layout—grandparents and adult children can occupy separate floors with genuine privacy while maintaining proximity for shared meals. Corporate groups conducting off-site leadership programmes find the multiple meeting spaces (office, living rooms) and entertainment options prevent the monotony that undermines team cohesion. Wedding parties requiring accommodation for 10-14 guests appreciate the fact that the villa functions as a unified property rather than scattered apartments, reducing logistical complexity. Couples wanting to host friends for a week-long celebration will find the games room and outdoor spaces eliminate the stilted dinner-then-retire pattern. Parents seeking a sophisticated family holiday appreciate that children have dedicated play zones (games room, trampoline, pool) while parents retain adult spaces for conversation and quiet. Groups of close friends planning active holidays—hiking to Masca, whale watching, windsurfing in southern beaches—use Costa Amore as a comfortable basecamp rather than a touring accommodation.

Frequently Asked Questions about Costa Amore

How many guests does Costa Amore sleep?

Costa Amore accommodates 14 guests maximum across 8 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms. The bedroom configuration comprises a master suite with super king-size bed (First Floor), two king-size bedrooms with balcony access (First Floor), one double bed plus single bed (Ground Floor), three double bed rooms (Ground Floor and Lower Ground Floor), and one twin-bed room (Ground Floor). This distribution allows flexibility: some rooms suit couples, others accommodate families with children, and the twin configuration serves friends preferring their own beds.

What is the nearest airport to Costa Amore in Santa Cruz de Tenerife?

Tenerife South Airport (Aeropuerto de Tenerife Sur) is 55km south of Costa Amore, approximately 50 minutes by car. This is the island’s primary international hub, serving direct flights from northern Europe, the UK, and mainland Spain. Tenerife North Airport, 35km away (40-minute drive), operates primarily inter-island flights and some European budget routes. The villa’s included transfer service collects guests from either airport, coordinating arrival times with your flight schedule.

What is the best time of year to rent Costa Amore?

October through April represents peak season, when northern Europe experiences winter and Tenerife offers average temperatures of 20–24°C—warm enough for pool and beach use without the intensity of summer heat. December through February brings Christmas and New Year holiday bookings plus families escaping northern winter; prices peak during these weeks. March and April offer excellent value with smaller crowds, reliable sunshine, and warm seas (around 18–19°C). May through September are quiet and discounted, though daytime temperatures exceed 28°C and afternoon thunderstorms occasionally occur. February-March Carnival is an unmissable cultural event if group attendance interests you; book 6 months ahead as hotel rooms disappear. September is hurricane season for the Atlantic (though direct hits on Tenerife are rare); travel insurance is prudent during this period.

Is Costa Amore suitable for families with children?

Yes, with specific caveats. The property includes a secured private pool (depth 1.2m at the deepest point, designed for mixed-age use), multiple sun loungers suitable for infants napping, and a trampoline for active play. The games room—pool table, Xbox, PlayStation—occupies children aged 6+ for hours. Nearby Playa del Duque and Playa Paraiso are shallow-entry beaches with lifeguard coverage and family restaurants. The English-speaking babysitter enables parent evenings out. However, the property’s multiple floor levels and outdoor terracing require supervision of toddlers; it is not a baby-proofed environment. Cots and high chairs can be arranged with advance notice. The villa suits families with independent children (7+) more comfortably than those with infants or toddlers requiring constant supervision.

What is included in the rental price at Costa Amore?

The rental includes: daily breakfast prepared by the on-site chef; maid service (typically five days weekly); on-site concierge assistance during daylight hours; all utilities (water, electricity, gas); Wi-Fi throughout; pool heating (winter months); laundry service; parking; air conditioning and central heating; and transfers to/from the airport. Optional additions (charged separately) include lunch or dinner catering, extended spa appointments, and excursion bookings. The included English-speaking babysitter is available on an as-needed basis at no additional charge, though advance booking is essential.

What restaurants and shops are near Costa Amore?

La Caleta’s immediate vicinity includes small supermarkets (Mercadona, approximately 3km away) for self-catering supplies and casual groceries. The Playa del Duque promenade, 8km south, concentrates upmarket restaurants ranging from Mediterranean seafood specialists to Michelin-listed establishments; the concierge can arrange reservations. Puerto de la Cruz’s historic centre, 90km north, houses traditional Canarian restaurants serving local specialities (mojo potatoes, fresh fish, papas arrugadas). Santa Cruz’s city centre features both touristy tapas bars and serious dining—the concierge maintains a curated list of recommendations. Weekly produce markets operate in La Laguna (Tuesdays and Fridays) and Puerto de la Cruz, where locals purchase fresh tropical fruit, vegetables, and prepared foods at substantially lower prices than supermarkets.
