South Tenerife, A Place in the Sun

2021 / South Tenerife Ben Hillman on 18 November 2021

South Tenerife Ben Hillman

Richard, a plumber, and Chris who is visually impaired and composes music, met 10 years ago and bonded as friends after Richard agreed to become Chris’ tour guide on holiday. The pair now go on regular getaways and the south coast of Tenerife has become a firm favourite, so much so that they’re now joining forces to buy their own property there as a winter bolt hole. With a combined budget of £110,000, they’re tasking Ben Hillman to find them the perfect pad, and Ben’s rising to the challenge by lining up five fantastic options, but will any of them strike the right note?

Tenerife

About the area

Tenerife is the largest of the Canary islands and at its centre. Playa Grande and Playa la Tejita are the biggest natural beaches on the island and are both in Granadilla de Abona. Because the island lies at the same latitude as the Sahara desert, there’s a fantastic all-year round climate, enjoyed by sun seekers, water sport enthusiast and golfers alike.
