Mar&Relax

Mar&Relax Overview

First Impressions

When I first pulled up to Mar&Relax, I’ll be honest — the name had me curious about what kind of vibe this place would actually have. Located in the quiet residential area of Balcón del Mar in Costa Del Silencio, this four-star property immediately struck me as one of those hidden gems that locals probably wish tourists wouldn’t discover. The building itself has that modern Spanish coastal architecture that doesn’t try too hard, and you know what? Sometimes that’s exactly what you want.

The Location Sweet Spot

Costa Del Silencio lives up to its name — it really is peaceful here, which I mean in the best possible way. You’re far enough from the tourist chaos of Los Cristianos or Playa de las Américas, but close enough that a quick drive gets you there when you want some action. The parking situation is actually fantastic (and free, which is becoming rare these days), so exploring the southern part of Tenerife becomes pretty effortless. I noticed a lot of couples here, and honestly, I get why they love it — there’s something romantic about having this stretch of coastline feel like your own little secret.

The Accommodation Experience

My room had this clean, contemporary feel without being sterile — you know how some hotels can feel like a doctor’s office? Not here. The balcony views toward the ocean were genuinely impressive, especially during sunset hours when the light hits the water just right. The furnishings felt thoughtfully chosen rather than just ordered from some hotel catalog, and I appreciated little touches like the quality of the linens and the fact that the air conditioning actually worked quietly (trust me, you notice these things in Tenerife).

Dining and Daily Rhythms

The on-site restaurant surprised me — I went in with modest expectations and found myself genuinely enjoying both the food and the relaxed atmosphere. They do a solid job with fresh seafood, which makes sense given the location, and the staff seemed to actually care about what they were serving rather than just going through the motions. Breakfast had that nice balance of international options and local touches, though I found myself drawn to the terrace seating where you can watch the day slowly come alive along the coast.

Why Guests Love It

After spending time here, I understand why Mar&Relax consistently gets such high ratings from visitors. It’s that rare combination of being well-run without feeling corporate, peaceful without being boring, and well-located without the premium prices you’d pay closer to the main resort areas. The staff genuinely seems to enjoy working here — you can tell the difference when people aren’t just counting down to their shift ending. For couples especially, this place hits that sweet spot where you can completely unwind but still have easy access to explore when the mood strikes.

Tenerife’s apartments offer beachside accommodations with ocean views, perfect for families wanting to experience daily life in this culturally rich Spanish island paradise.

Reviews of Mar&Relax

• Laura from United Kingdom (10/10)

  I consider this apartment excellent value for money. Massive balcony, and extremely clean and well maintained pool area. Generous host provided airport pick up for 30 euro. Great to have hair dryer, multiple towels and bottle of wine upon arrival. Quiet town, good bus access to busier areas

• Maria from Spain (10/10)

  The apartment is perfect for one person or two people. Nice, clean and cozy and totally equipped. It has a large balcony and access to the pool. Rocio was super nice and helpful, such a lovely person. There is a supermarket 5min walking. The neighbourhood is quiet and well connected by bus. Fantastic place to stay during your holidays. Totally worth it.
