Balcon del Mar (apartment)

Home description

**special offer** Enjoy your al fresco dining and watch the dolphins swim by from the balcony as you watch the sun rise and move across the sky as the day passes by. It's a good sunny spot (all year round) on the south coast of Tenerife, just a few metres from the coastline. Balcon del Mar has easy access to all amenities, including the local supermarkets and many excellent restaurants for eating out within walking distance.

The apartment comprises a bedroom with a double bed and ample storage facilities. Further sleeping facilities are provided within the lounge area on the bed settee (maximum persons: 4). Leading from the living room is a spacious balcony with stunning sea views, furnished with a table and chairs to enable you to dine al fresco. The apartment is well kitted out with american style kitchen, fridge, microwave, oven, television, CD player, DVD player and washing machine. There is even a shopping trolley - every need is catered for!

Ideal for couples just wanting to relax or families with small children, with plenty in the surrounding area to see and do during your stay, why not take a trip up Mount Teide in the cable car and view the fantastic scenery (the highest mountain not just in the Canaries but the whole of Spain) or visit the capital Santa Cruz or the old port 'Puerto de la Cruz' and take the kids to Loro Parc? Alternatively relax and read your book, do the crossword or enjoy your favourite soaps on the English TV channels. You can visit the local fishing village of Las Gallettes and watch the beautiful sunset as you drink your glass of wine and enjoy your evening meal.

Beautiful golden sandy beaches, water sports, entertainment and amusement parks are available in the nearby main resorts of Los Cristianos and Playa de las Americas which can be easily reached by a short bus ride or taxi.

Ideally this will suit couples seeking a relaxing, therapeutic, get away from it all, holiday. In addition to the double bed in the bedroom there is also a double bed settee, maximum occupancy is therefore four people.

Due to the secure complex this is a very safe place to be with small children

The Tenerife region

Costa del Silencio (literally the 'Coast of Silence') is located on the sunny sout coast of Tenerife, just a 15 minute drive from the Reina Sofia airport. The island offers all year round sunshine with a sub tropical climate with temperatures generally ranging from between 25 - 30 degrees between summer and winter. The resort nestles between the golfing haven of Amarilla Golf and the bustly resorts of Los Cristianos and Playa de Las Americas (about a 15 minute drive away). There is a small fishing village within a 15 minute walk, with a frontline row of bars and restaurants and an early morning fish market (lunch or dinner straight out of the sea!). Fantastic sunsets can be seen from here. There is also a small shopping centre with numerous coffee bars, shops and a park. Closer to are a number of restaurants and shops within a 5 to 10 minute walk. Or if you don't fancy that why not pop next door to 'Gavines' for a tasty ghoulash or fish dish?

Tenerife is often described as an Island of contrasts - as the south is hot and sunny and yet the north offers beautiful scenery, villages and places of interest to visit. Meaning the 'Coast of Silence', this quiet resort could be light years from its neighbour Playa de las Americas. Here, most days are spent lazing in the sunshine - ideal for winding down and perfecting your tan.

When you're feeling active, the village is filled with shops and welcoming restaurants serving international cuisine together with numerous music bars offering fun nights out. You'll also find tempting seafront cafes where you can watch the surfers from the rocks and close by, a small stony beach and rocky headlands ideal for sunbathing.

Costa del Silencio is one of the warmest resorts on the island because of its location. It is rain free for the majority of the year with the best weather in August. The temperature rarely falls below 20C in the winter and in the summer it is around 30C. This quiet resort could be light years from its neighbour Playa de las Americas.

'We loved the holiday and area to such an extent that we bought our own property in the same complex!' Shaz n Als, Staffs

'What we like about this place, apart from the stunning view from the balcony (and we have seen the dolphins swim by) is you can make it as action packed or as relaxing as you choose, we can have one day swimming and relaxing by the beautiful pool and the next day take the bus or taxi into Playa de Las Americas and enjoy the hustle and bustle of a large traditional resort enjoying watersports or visiting the monkey park for example in Los Cristianos, or taking a trip to the beautiful, green lush north side of the island enjoying the little villages, Mount Teide and the scenic Oratova Valley' - Joan and Keith, Telford

'We have gone back to this wonderful apartment and complex for the last four years and fully intend to continue to take our annual winter holiday here - a highlight for us was the time we saw a whale off the balcony' - Stan and Sylvia Morris

'It is just so relaxing, we can't get enough of it, the view off the balcony is worth a visit on it's own, add in the all year round sunshine (we went in December) and you can't help but think you've found a wonderful little gem' Betty and Trevor, Yorks (Jan 2008)

'Many thanks for such a wonderful holiday, we enjoyed it immensely and loved the diving from the local fishing village of Las Gallettes' Tom & Susan, Bucks

' After a harrowing year it was great just to wind down, read a few books and drink the odd glass of vino, and the view off the balcony, well I just can't decribe how wonderful it is! The pool area truly is beautiful and the gardens were delightful, obviously a well maintained and well run complex, we'll be back next year' - Margaret H, London
