Clear water, volcanic coves and a walking path along the rugged coast give Costa del Silencio a distinct coastal character. At the same time, the TEN-BEL complex and the town’s development point to an architectural and historical side. This gives you different priorities to choose from when deciding where to stay: time by the water, a peaceful walk by the sea, or a look at built structures and the landscape.

Coast, coves and bathing areas

Clear water and coves of volcanic origin define the coastal character of Costa del Silencio. The coves are suitable for diving and snorkelling. Playa de La Ballena is a bathing area, offering a different way to spend time by the water. Beside the TEN-BEL complex is a natural seawater pool, suitable for cooling off and relaxing. Sea and bathing conditions, as well as access, may vary; check local conditions before spending time by the water.

Walking along the coast and to the natural monument

The Paseo de Costa del Silencio runs along the rugged coast and is suitable for a peaceful walk by the sea. It begins in the Bella Vista residential area and continues as far as the West Haven Bay apartments. These two landmarks help you follow its route. At the eastern end of the residential area, a path begins that leads to the Montaña Amarilla Natural Monument. The Paseo follows the coast, while the path at the eastern end leads to the natural monument; these are different options for a walking outing. Check the conditions of each route before setting out.

TEN-BEL and the history of the town

The TEN-BEL Plan Parcial Costa del Silencio – Agrupación Frontera can be viewed from the public road. Lava remains in its original state in the complex’s open spaces. Costa del Silencio was developed in the 1960s as one of Tenerife’s first tourist residential areas. This historical context adds a broader perspective on the town to the view of the complex. For travellers interested in architecture, the fact that it can be viewed from a public road provides a specific point of reference for seeing the site. The complex brings together architecture and preserved lava.

Gardens and getting around

Costa del Silencio is also known for its well-maintained gardens. The town’s character therefore extends beyond the coast and bathing areas. The proximity of the TF-1 motorway makes it easier to reach Los Cristianos from Costa del Silencio. If Los Cristianos is also on your itinerary, this road connection may be a factor when choosing where to stay. Take traffic and road conditions into account for any specific journey.
