Desconecta a Orillas del Mar Overview
First Impressions
Walking into Desconecta a Orillas del Mar feels like discovering a well-kept secret tucked away in Poris de Abona. The name literally means “disconnect by the sea,” and honestly, that’s exactly what happens the moment you step through the door. This four-star property sits right on Calle Real in a charming building called Edificio San José, and while the address might sound formal, the vibe is anything but stuffy. You know what struck me most? The immediate sense of calm that washes over you — it’s like the place actually lives up to its promise of helping you unplug.
Location & Neighborhood
Poris de Abona isn’t your typical tourist hotspot, which is precisely why couples seem to fall head over heels for this spot (they’ve rated it incredibly highly for romantic getaways). The location scores a solid 9.0 with recent guests, and I can see why. You’re positioned perfectly between the authentic Canarian village life and easy access to the coast. The free private parking on-site is actually a huge deal here — anyone who’s tried to find parking near the water in the Canary Islands will appreciate not having to circle around looking for a spot. Plus, you’re close enough to explore the dramatic volcanic coastline but far enough from the crowds to feel like you’ve found your own little corner of Tenerife.
The Experience
What sets Desconecta a Orillas del Mar apart is how it manages to feel both refined and genuinely relaxing. The property has this understated elegance that doesn’t try too hard — you’ll find thoughtful touches throughout that show someone really cared about creating a peaceful retreat. The sea influence is subtle but constant, whether it’s in the decor choices or just the way the light filters through the spaces. I mean, when a place gets a 9.6 rating, you expect something special, but this feels more authentic than flashy.
Why It Works for Couples
There’s something about the atmosphere here that just clicks for romantic escapes. Maybe it’s the intimate scale of the property, or the way you can actually hear the ocean without being overwhelmed by resort noise. The ground floor location in the building means easy access (no hauling luggage up endless stairs), and the whole setup feels designed for two people who want to focus on each other rather than a packed social scene. You’re not competing with families for pool space or dealing with the chaos that comes with larger properties.
Why Guests Love It
That 9.6 rating doesn’t happen by accident — guests consistently mention feeling like they’ve found exactly what they didn’t know they were looking for. The combination of the peaceful setting, the genuine hospitality, and that perfect balance between comfort and character keeps people coming back. You’ll leave feeling like you actually disconnected from the usual travel stress, which is rarer than you’d think. It’s the kind of place where you find yourself planning your return visit before you’ve even checked out.

Reviews of Desconecta a Orillas del Mar
Tjaša from Slovenia (10/10)
Very nice and spacious. The terrace was the best! And the garage, of course.:) Since we traveled with two toddlers the children playground across the street was much appreciated. We liked the location (quiet, not crowded, and a good starting point to both south and north side of the Tenerife). The host was very helpful and responsive. A bottle of wine was waiting for us on the table when we arrived.
