The apartment

The interior is inspired by the modernist architecture of this unique building that falls vertically onto the beach below.

The building is recognised as one of the finest examples of the modern architectural design of the 20th century.

The local area

Las Gaviotas is a rural coastal hideaway at the start of the Anaga mountains and just 15 minutes by car from the capital city, Santa Cruz de Tenerife.

If you want to explore some of the most black sand beaches in Tenerife, Playa de las Gaviotas is an excellent option to start from. You can expect soft black sand, friendly locals and crystal clear water with a dramatic mountain backdrop.

The apartment has direct access to Playa Chica, a sumptuously soft black sand beach. It is almost private and used mainly by the residents of the building due to restricted access. You can admire the outstanding architectural design of the building while taking a refreshing swim in the Atlantic ocean.

It is easy to lose track of time and spend your days relaxing in this little slice of paradise on the beach in Tenerife.

When you want to explore the island a little more, there are lots to discover nearby…

Head down to San Andrés for Playa de las Teresitas, the iconic white sand beach with its calm waters, SUP rentals and cool beach bars. San Andrés is known for its fish and seafood restaurants.

Continue past San Andrés to the island's capital and explore the bustling local market, colonial architecture, green parks, shopping centers, independent boutiques and a note-worthy restaurant scene.

If hiking and mountains are your preferred holiday activities, you’ll be just 4 kilometers from the Anaga mountains, which you can reach via Igueste de San Andrés.

Over the Anaga mountains to the northeast side of the island lies three magnificent beaches in Taganana – Playa de Benijo is our favorite and a must if you want to see rural Tenerife life and the most stunning beach on the island. Finish the day with a typical Canarian meal washed down with locally grown wine at one of Taganana’s traditional restaurants.
