Ocean Drive

Ocean Drive is in Los Mojones, a quiet residential area of Puerto del Carmen, approximately 20 minutes gentle stroll from the Old Town square of the resort. The square is surrounded by a number of excellent restaurants some of which enjoy pretty views of the harbour with its traditional fishing boats. The evening brings the resort to life and the ambience of the music bars drifts out into the night air. To visit the local beaches, the sandy cove of the old town is that same 20 minute stroll, or the long sandy beaches of the New Town are the place to find the lively water sports and beach life that you would expect from a well established resort.

The award-winning Playa Grande beach is sandy and gently sloping making it popular with families. You can hire parasols and sun-loungers here, or explore some of the other rocky coves which are dotted around the coastline if you would prefer something more private. There are several windsurfing and diving schools in Puerto del Carmen offering equipment hire and lessons, as the coastline offers the perfect conditions for both these sports. Swimming, running and cycling are also popular in resort, with several bike hire companies along the promenade.

The resort offers plenty of opportunities for retail therapy and has a range of excellent shops. Souvenir shops line the Avenida or you can browse an array of local crafts and up-market luxury good at the Biosfera shopping centre.
Also nearby is the incredible National Park of Timanfya, a 50km square area whose landscape has been shaped by past volcanic activity on the island, the most recent eruption being nearly two centuries ago. Various tours are offered in the park, including a camel ride if you are feeling adventurous, and you can enjoy a meal cooked over natural geothermal heat at the El Diablo restaurant.

Ground Floor

Large wooden double doors lead into this bright and spacious modern villa. The villa has a light and airy décor throughout, and pale cream tiled floors which remain cool underfoot even in the hottest part of the day. The open plan living space is kept bright and airy by several windows with lovely views of the pool and its terrace. A colourful leather sofa and easy chairs are gathered around a coffee table and facing the TV which has (limited) satellite channels and a DVD player.
