The southern part of the island of Tenerife is known for its marvellous sandy beaches, which run along practically the entire coastline. The enviable climate and the sun, constant all year round, keep the waters warm and allow you to enjoy water sports and the wide range of leisure and gastronomy on offer in the area. In this article we answer any questions you may have about where to eat in the south of Tenerife and recommend three Michelin restaurants where you can treat yourself to a good meal.
The southern area of Tenerife
The southern part of the island, where most of the leisure and gastronomy is concentrated, is made up of three important points of interest: Los Cristianos, Las Américas and Costa Adeje. The three restaurants we will discuss below are located in Costa Adeje, as this area is home to the largest number of luxury hotels in Europe.
Costa Adeje is noted for its shopping areas and luxury hotels, as well as the colonies of dolphins and whales that inhabit its waters. Most of the award-winning restaurants, whether Michelin starred or Repsol suns, are located inside the hotels in this area. Below we will talk about three of these, which represent a perfect example of where to eat in the south of Tenerife.
