Puerto de la Cruz is a city on the north coast of Tenerife and one of the island's first holiday resorts and it has remained a firm favourite for decades. Nestled in the beautiful region of the Orotava Valley, an oasis of lush green landscape and tropical fruit plantations, the picturesque old town of Puerto de la Cruz has a distinct Canarian character and a traditional feel with it’s quaint harbour, old fishing port and narrow cobbled streets but there’s an air of sophistication too with traditional colonial-style cafes and bars serving Nouveau cuisine and high-end boutiques, charming plazas and a variety of tourist attractions located all over the resort.

If relaxing in the warm Atlantic waters floats your boat then you have hit the jackpot with a holiday to Puerto de la Cruz, you have two architect designed beaches; Playa de Jardin which is a kilometre long stretch of black sand and the second beach Playa Martianez where there is 46,000 square metres of seawater running through a pool complex surrounded by sub-tropical gardens and various places to eat.
