Seaside Apartment in Puertito de Güímar

Seaside Apartment in Puertito de Güímar Overview

First Impressions

You know what struck me first about Seaside Apartment in Puertito de Güímar? It’s actually right there in the name — you can practically taste the salt air from your window. This four-star spot sits on Avenida Olof Palme, and honestly, the location alone makes it worth considering. The building itself has that clean, modern apartment-style setup that feels more like staying at a friend’s place than a typical hotel. I mean, there’s something refreshing about having your own space when you’re exploring Tenerife’s quieter eastern coast.

The Puertito Advantage

Here’s the thing about Puertito de Güímar that most tourists miss — it’s this tiny fishing village that hasn’t been completely overrun yet. While everyone’s fighting for beach space in Los Cristianos, you’ll find yourself with stretches of volcanic black sand practically to yourself. The apartment’s location gets a 9.5 rating from guests, and after spending time here, I get why. You’re literally a two-minute walk from the harbor where local fishermen still bring in their daily catch. There’s this little seafood restaurant down by the water that serves the freshest fish I’ve had on the island — the kind of place you’d never find without staying right here in the village.

The Space Itself

The apartment setup works really well, especially if you’re traveling as a couple (which seems to be the sweet spot for this place). You get a proper kitchen, which means you can grab fresh produce from the local market and actually cook with a view of the ocean. The living area opens right onto a terrace where I spent most of my mornings with coffee, watching the fishing boats head out. The bedroom’s comfortable enough, though it’s really the outdoor space that sells the whole experience. Having your own little slice of terrace overlooking the Atlantic — well, it beats a hotel balcony any day.

Exploring from Here

What I love about staying in Puertito is how it positions you for the rest of Tenerife. You’re about 20 minutes from the airport, which is actually perfect for those early morning flights. But more importantly, you’re on the less touristy side of the island with easy access to some incredible hiking. The Malpaís de Güímar nature reserve is right there — this otherworldly landscape of lava fields that most visitors never see. And if you want to hit the bigger attractions, Santa Cruz is maybe 30 minutes north, while the southern resort towns are an easy drive when you want that busier beach scene.

Why Guests Love It

That 9.2 rating makes sense once you’ve been here. It’s not trying to be something it’s not — no fancy lobby or concierge service. Instead, you get this authentic slice of Canarian coastal life with all the independence of your own apartment. Couples especially seem to appreciate the privacy and the romantic sunsets you can catch right from the terrace. The village itself has this sleepy charm that grows on you, and honestly, after a few days of having the seaside practically to yourself, you’ll understand why people keep coming back to this little corner of Tenerife.

Reviews of Seaside Apartment in Puertito de Güímar

• J from United Kingdom (10/10)

  Amazing location, the beach right across the road, the views, ground floor apartment, the host was very helpful and friendly, always available, immediate response to all the questions, even called a taxi for us. The private terrace was the cherry on the cake. Absolutely loved the town, quite, but there are nice restaurants, supermarkets have everything you need, all the facilities within the short walking distance. Definitely would recommend and would love to come back.

• Marianne from Denmark (9/10)

  At first we were a bit disappointed. But at the end we really enjoyed our stay. We enjoyed the apartment and the area very much. And would have taken more days if possible.
  (We didn't use the pool) But the beach in front of the house is very nice.
