Apartamentos Medano – Casa Playa Overview
First Impressions
Walking up to Apartamentos Medano – Casa Playa, you immediately get that “I made the right choice” feeling. This four-star property sits right in the heart of El Médano, and honestly, the location alone justifies the stay. The building has this clean, modern apartment-style design that feels more like staying at a well-appointed friend’s place than a typical hotel — which is exactly what you want when you’re planning to actually relax rather than just crash between tourist activities.
The Perfect El Médano Base
Here’s what I love about the location — you’re literally steps from everything that makes El Médano special. The famous windsurfing beach is right there, and I mean you can practically roll out of bed and onto the sand. The town’s laid-back vibe seeps into everything here, but you’re not isolated from good restaurants or the occasional bit of nightlife. What really struck me is how the locals treat this area — it’s not just tourist central, it’s where people actually live and work, which gives the whole experience this authentic Canarian feel.
The Apartment Experience
The rooms — well, they’re proper apartments really — give you space to breathe. You’ve got a kitchen that’s actually functional (not just a mini-fridge and a prayer), which means you can grab fresh ingredients from the local market and cook if you want to. The living areas are thoughtfully laid out, and the bedrooms feel like someone put real consideration into making them comfortable rather than just cramming in furniture. Air conditioning works perfectly, which you’ll appreciate during those warm Canarian afternoons.
What Sets It Apart
The staff here get it — they understand that people come to El Médano for different reasons. Some are here for the windsurfing, others just want to escape somewhere that feels genuinely Spanish rather than resort-artificial. They’re helpful without being hovering, and they actually know the area well enough to give you solid recommendations. The building itself is well-maintained, and you can tell they take pride in keeping everything running smoothly. It’s that attention to detail that bumps this place up from “decent apartment rental” to “I’d definitely stay here again.”
Why Guests Love It
That 9.3 rating isn’t an accident, and the perfect 10.0 location score tells you everything you need to know about why people keep coming back. Couples particularly seem to appreciate the combination of privacy and proximity — you can have quiet mornings on your terrace and still be in the middle of everything when you want to be. The apartment setup means you’re not tied to hotel meal schedules or cramped into a standard room. You get the independence of having your own space with the reliability of professional management, which is honestly the sweet spot for a proper vacation.
Best hotels in Tenerife blend infinity pools, spa circuits, and tasting menus celebrating mojo sauces and papas arrugadas.

Angela from United States (9/10)
Mèdano is perfect beach vacation on Tenerife. So many colorful kiteboards, wings, surfboards riding the waves! The deck overlooks the kiteboarding beach. House is spacious, clean, well-stocked kitchen, fabulous view and close to all the restaurants and town. Carlos, the owner, was so helpful! When our car got towed (we parked improperly) he promptly and cheerfully came and took us to get it back. The Hito restaurant was our favorite.
Ingvild from Norway (9/10)
The apartment is perfectly located, spacious and clean. The view and the outdoor area is impeccable.
Anne from Switzerland (10/10)
Emplacement exceptionnel sur la plage. Spacieux, belle terrasse. Hôtes très accueillants ont préparé la maison en 1h30 car c'était une réservation dernière minute.
Albert from Switzerland (9/10)
Sehr gute Lage, man ist an vorderster Front des Wassersport-Geschehens. Sehr netter Vermieter.
Namor from Spain (10/10)
Ubicación excelente y sobre todo si vas a practicar kitesurf. Anfitrión muy amable, los muebles un poco antiguos pero confortables, una gran terraza.
Marije from Netherlands (9/10)
Prachtig appartement vooral vanwege het terras met uitzicht direct aan zee. Van binnen qua inrichting beetje armoedig, maar de locatie en de ruimte maken alles goed.
Leonie from Switzerland (9/10)
Die Lage der Wohnung war fantastisch! für uns als Surfer gibt es keine bessere Unterkunft als direkt über den Surfcentern! Unvergleichlich!
