#1 of 175 hotels in El Médano
A quaint town which is ideally suited to those seeking a romantic getaway or a busy active water based holidays. The wind can be a little high but the cooling breeze was welcome during our visit. There are wonderful restaurants and a few decent bars around the main square. Try Familiar or Rosmarino for vastly different eating experiences which can't be separated in my mind. There are a huge amount of pizzerias in the town but for us it was InContro which provided the best pizza in the village.
El Médano is an active town as opposed to a purpose built resort. It's right by the sea, with a swimming & sunbathing beach in the town centre, and a larger, windier, kite-surfing windsurfing, and surfing beach nearby. We are into cycling, and Michael at BikePoint had bikes set up individually for us as we had booked in advance. He gave good advice on what routes to use, and roads to avoid. I would recommend Tenerife for cycling training, with plenty of climbing, as opposed to leisurely routes. Teide and it's high-altitude plateau are worth a trip by bike or by car. There are good restaurants. We didn't try them all, but Le Penon stood out, a Basque restaurant that cooks Txogitxu, 18 year old beef, as well as some inventive dishes like foie gras lasagne. You can have performance cooking of prawns and crepes by your table. We had good pintxos (tapas) at Imperio del Pintxo. There is a good farmers market, Mercadillo Del Agricultor el Médano 8am–2pm Sat & Sun. Superdino supermarket has a very good whole fish counter. It's a chance to cook fish you have never seen before - judge the cooking time by size, and check that it is flaking before you serve up. Local wines are interesting, the high altitude vineyards make for fruity, medium-bodied reds, and fruity light whites.
We liked our good sized room with balcony and extremely comfortable beds. Nice sitting area with TV and couch. Fridge in the room and corkscrew and bottle opener ! It was a 20 min walk into El Medano for bus and restaurants, a nice walk along by the beach. There was windsurfing on the beach and surf boards available for hire. Bus took us all over the island. We took a tour of the island on one day and booked same at reception desk.
It's a little bit windy, but it is perfect if you want to go surfing :-) i think it's the best place to be for that!:-) It's a small town with friendly people an a good home-base from where you can go and explore the island.
Милейшая деревенька с прекрасными кафе и ресторанами. Пляж неплохой, но океан холодноват и постоянно ветренно.
The town is not remarkable but has many good restaurants, but not all. An excellent location for wind surfing fans but very windy if you just want to stay on the beach. Going anywhere else involves double bus journeys, unless you have a car.
“Quite nice area. Short distance to the beach, bars etc. The host and the team were helpful, it was our first visit to Tenerife.”
“Excellent location, very friendly hosts, spotless clean and spacious flat with everything one might need...we enjoyed sunbathing/breakfast in our balcony before exploring the island. El Medano has such a great vibe as a surfers' destination with cosy small eateries,beach, Montana Roja and Tejita all walking distance.”
“Cloria was wonderful host.This was our favorite place we stayed on Tenerife. Beautiful house and pool house. Next to a Papaya and Banana farm and just down the road from the best beaches on Tenerife. Couldn't recommend it more and we hope to go back.”
“Great hotel located on a pleasant beach in the middle of El Medano. Beautiful views of the ocean, shoreline and La Montana Rioja. Several cafes and restaurants were located nearby around a busy plaza, and the airport was 10 minutes away. We also loved the clean, retro design of the hotel.”
“Prime location in the middle of El Médano, right between beaches and built out above the waves. The town itself is full of great cafes and bars to explore and public transport is cheap and easy to access.”
