Gay-friendly Tenerife: buying LGTBQ+ property

An LGTBQ+ guide to Tenerife: why the south is welcoming, which areas like Costa Adeje or Santa Cruz to consider and how to buy safely.

Tenerife is one of the year-round favourites in the Canary Islands. The south of the island, around Costa Adeje and Playa de las Américas, is especially welcoming, while Santa Cruz de Tenerife brings capital-city life and an internationally renowned Carnival.

Why choose Tenerife

  • Spring-like weather all year round and excellent flight connections.
  • A welcoming, established south around Costa Adeje.
  • An active market of holiday homes and a strong expat community.

What to look for when buying

Decide whether you want a year-round home, a second residence or a rental investment. Proximity to the sea, nearby services and the owners’ community make a big difference to both price and quality of life.
