The choice for two adults who want a week that gets everything mostly right. Check availability early for winter. Adults-only, contemporary and calmer than its Costa Adeje address suggests, with heated saltwater pools instead of a beach and food good enough to stay in for. La Caleta's fish restaurants are a walk away, which stops it feeling sealed off.
It has a rooftop pool. A public beach is within walking distance.
A private pool of your own, without the villa-rental admin. Check availability for a sea-view villa. A private heated pool with every villa, a lazy river in the middle and no young children anywhere. It sits up on the hill, so the sea is a view and dinner out is a taxi.
It has an outdoor pool. There is no beach; the nearest is a drive away.
