Map & location


Puerto De La Cruz, Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain

H10 Tenerife Playa enjoys one of Puerto De La Cruz’s headline addresses, right on Avenida Colón promenade. Step outside and you’re on the coastal walkway with cafés, bars and shops, while the dark-sand beach is a mere stroll away. Directly opposite sits El Lago Martiánez, the celebrated open-air seawater pool complex and outdoor museum of contemporary art – an essential north Tenerife experience.

Beyond the seafront, Puerto De La Cruz offers a blend of old-town charm and tropical greenery, from its historic plazas and tapas bars to the Botanical Gardens and lush Sitio Litre orchid garden. This is Tenerife’s more traditional side, with Atlantic swells, coastal viewpoints and cooler nights than the south, but still plenty of sunshine.

  • Beach 50m
  • shops, bars & restaurants 100m
  • Puerto De La Cruz resort centre 1.1km

Pool & outdoors

• Second outdoor freshwater pool, typically heated between 1 November and 31 March, ideal if you’re visiting in the winter months.
• Separate outdoor freshwater children’s pool, also with sunbeds and parasols nearby so parents can keep an eye out.

Pool towels are provided free of charge (deposit or exchange rules may apply).
