Puerto Calero

They may be neighbours but Puerto Calero is a world away in style and atmosphere from nearby Puerto del Carmen. The resort features a marina filled with luxury yachts, overlooked by cafes and restaurants. Dotted with boutiques the resort is also home to several health spas, an art gallery and a museum dedicated to whales, dolphins and porpoises; and for the more active a golf course, dive centre, tennis and squash courts also feature.

Though there’s no beach here, neighbouring Puerto del Carmen has plenty to share with some 6km of glorious sands just a short bus ride away. There are still plenty of water activities on offer from the marina, ranging from scuba diving to submarine excursions and fishing trips.

Nightlife is fairly low-key in Puerto Calero, centred around the many waterside cafes and restaurants, for something livelier Puerto del Carmen has more than enough to keep you amused well into the early hours.

The island offers many alternatives to a day on the beach sure to entertain all family members. A popular day out on the island is to the Timanfaya National Park; here you can take a camel-ride up the slopes of the volcanoes for views across this unique landscape.

Located just outside Puerto del Carmen is Rancho Texas a Western Theme Park which features a nature park and an Indian-style village with tepees, in the evenings the park offers entertainment for all the family with country and western music, line dancing and a lasso show.

Situated in the north at the foot of the Corona Volcano is the Guinate Tropical Park with 45,000 sq metres of gardens, waterfalls and ponds, home to many species of birds, animals, reptiles and fish, also in the north are the Green Caves which formed around 3000 years ago during the eruption of the Corona Volcano.
