Tenerife, the largest of the Canary Islands, is a tropical destination with a great variety of landscapes. From the El Teide volcano, majestic mountains, vast deserts, fascinating national parks and, of course, fantastic beaches, you ‘ll encounter huge biodiversity. Thanks to its mild climate and relaxed charm, Tenerife is often called the “island of eternal spring.
Our El Marqués Palace aparthotel is located in the picturesque fishing village of Puerto de Santiago. In this charming town you will find many opportunities to sample the authentic cuisine of the Canaries and mingle with the locals. It’s a wonderful holiday destination where you can enjoy a warm welcome and the authentic culture of the Canary Islands.
Even though the seaside resort is not huge, there is a great variety of restaurants and bars where you can eat, drink and dance. And if you are thinking of booking a holiday in Puerto de Santiago in July, you’ll have the good fortune to see the annual firework display illuminating the night sky. Puerto de Santiago is located on the west coast of Tenerife in close proximity to the famous Los Gigantes cliffs. In the harbour, guests who are keen to discover the marine life of the Atlantic Ocean can book a variety of boat trips looking for dolphins, whales or turtles.
Nearby, there are two local beaches: the petite Playa Chica and the larger, popular La Arena beach. Both have the striking black sands that Tenerife is famous for.
Tenerife has two airports, with our El Marqués Palace resort located closest to the international Tenerife South Airport. This airport is around a 40-minute drive away, while Tenerife North Airport takes around one hour and 20 minutes to reach.
