This villa is situated in the holiday resort of Costa Teguise, which is located on the western coast of the island. Quieter and more residential than the two principal resorts on the island, Costa Teguise is ideal for guests looking for a relaxing holiday and has many good quality, self-catering villas. It has several beautiful, golden beaches with beach front cafes, bars and a wide choice of restaurants. The largest beach is Playa Las Cucharas, where there is also a windsurfing academy for professionals and beginners. The resort has some excellent attractions. It is home to the largest aquarium in the Canary Islands, with tropical marine beds and an underwater tunnel to view small sharks. A twice weekly artisan market in the Pueblo Marinero is good for souvenir shopping or an evening stroll, followed by a drink in one of the bars. On the edge of the resort, a large water park provides children and adults alike, with a fun filled day. Nearby is the lovely, palm rimmed, 18-hole golf course with panoramic sea views, a club house, a pro shop and equipment hire for holiday villa guests. Costa Teguise is close to a wealth of interesting locations and fabulous, un-spoilt beaches. A ten minute drive from the resort takes you to Teguise, the magnificent, ancient, former capital of the island. This lovely, tranquil town with it’s narrow, winding, cobbled streets and fabulous architecture, comes to life every Sunday when it hosts the largest market on the island. The route north of Costa Teguise takes you the delightful, traditional, fishing villages of Arrieta and Punta de Mujeres, with sea front fish restaurants. The attractive Arrieta beach is primarily used by locals, it has a child’s play area and a beach bar serving delicious, Spanish tapas and paella. North of these villages are several, breathtakingly, beautiful, white sand beaches, with glistening, aquamarine waters. Nearby is Los Jameos del Agua, said to be Cesar Manrique’s most splendid work. Connecting caves and underground grottos house a lake with thousands of tiny, rare albino crabs, a spectacular, underground, concert auditorium, a beautiful garden and a restaurant. The beautiful old village of Haria, set in the "valley of the 1000 palms" is worth a visit. On the northern tip of the island is the fishing village of Orzola, from where there is a ferry to the tiny, un-spoilt, neighbouring island of Graciosa. This can be viewed from the fabulous, 479 metre high, Cesar Manrique designed, look-out point Mirador del Rio.
