Real estate in Santa Cruz de Tenerife,
between the volcano and the sea.
Real estate in Santa Cruz de Tenerife covers the western Canary Islands: Tenerife, La Palma, La Gomera and El Hierro, each shaped by volcanoes and a mild Atlantic climate.
Search propertiesThe province takes its name from its capital, a lively port city on Tenerife's north-east coast, with the Anaga mountains just beyond its streets. Most luxury homes are on Tenerife itself, while the smaller islands suit those who want space, silence and nature.
Tenerife, where most searches begin
The south, around Costa Adeje, draws buyers with steady sunshine, calm water and modern villas above the ocean. Los Cristianos and El Médano, further along the coast, each keep a character of their own.
The north is greener and more traditional. Around Puerto de la Cruz and the historic city of La Laguna, older houses with carved wooden balconies and walled gardens offer a quieter kind of luxury. Mount Teide rises between both sides and shapes the weather, the views and the pace of each coast. Our Tenerife guide looks at the island in more detail.
La Palma, La Gomera and El Hierro
The smaller islands are greener and far calmer. La Palma has deep pine forests and night skies prized by astronomers, La Gomera keeps the ancient laurel forest of Garajonay, and El Hierro is the most remote and tranquil of all.
Grand houses are rare here, so a restored rural home or a plot with an open view is often the more realistic goal.

DiscoverQuestions,
answered.
Does Santa Cruz de Tenerife mean the city or the province?
Both. The city is the capital of Tenerife and shares the regional capital role with Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, while the province also includes La Palma, La Gomera and El Hierro. The eastern islands belong to the province of Las Palmas.
Is the climate the same across the province?
No. The south of Tenerife is drier and sunnier, the north greener and cooler, and the smaller islands change with altitude and the trade winds. Visiting in different seasons helps you choose.
How do you reach the islands?
Tenerife has airports in both the north and the south, with regular flights to much of Europe. Ferries and short island flights link it with La Palma, La Gomera and El Hierro.
