San Miguel de Abona holidays

Holidays to San Miguel de Abona whisk you away to the oldest town in southern Tenerife.

A town with veteran status

San Miguel de Abona’s a hillside town in southern Tenerife that deserves to be on your radar. Volcanic shores, evergreen forests and a lively marina are just some of the things you can add to your sightseeing list when you visit. There’s a unique history here, too, that points back to the Guanche Kingdom – when the first settlers came to the island. In the historic quarter, where old meets new, you’ll find cobbled streets, traditional townhouses bedecked with timber, and age-old relics that’ll leave you with no doubt that you’re in the oldest town in southern Tenerife.

Waterside adventures

This seaside town knows how to have a good time by the water. Most of the action happens at San Miguel Marina, where you’ll find sea-facing bars and boats waiting to take you on daytrips around the party-loving south coast. Thrill-seekers can even dive to the depths without getting their feet wet, thanks to a submarine that drops anchor here. First-class marine life aside, the town’s volcanic shoreline’s easy on the eye. You can take your pick from a crop of black-sand beaches when you fancy a stroll along the coast.

Larger-than-life resorts

Your postcode puts you within daytripping distance of the south coast’s most fun-loving resorts. You can pitch up in Costa Adeje within a 30-minute drive, where you can get your fill of Blue Flag beaches and designer boutiques. And when you’re ready to mix it up, take a walk along the cliffside to Playa de las Americas. Known as the party capital of Tenerife, it has a cluster of strips packed with round-the-clock bars and clubs. Beach basking isn’t off the cards either, thanks to a crop of six powder-soft strips, and their surfer-friendly waves.
