Vigilia Park
Resort overview

Vigilia Park in Tenerife is situated opposite the spectacular cliffs of Los Gigantes, near the beaches that have been awarded the Blue Flag. Nearby is a fine tourist complex and the fishing harbour of Puerto Santiago.

The quaint village of Puerto de Santiago lies near Los Gigantes on the island of Tenerife. The village is surrounded by small coves, steep hills and dramatic valleys, and it possesses breathtaking views across the cliffs. 

Other than Puerto de Santiago's one beach, the main draws are around, rather than in, the resort itself. The nearby resort town of Los Gigantes possesses imposing cliffs of the same name, and an attractive marina. Puerto de Santiago is still a bustling fishing port, and making a trip to the docks in the morning to watch the fishermen unload the day's catch is an interesting local experience. 

The resort hugs the rocky hillside which slopes down to the ocean, making it a difficult place to walk around. However, for hikers and those who love bracing walks, it is ideal. Its main thoroughfare links it with the towns of Los Gigantes and Playa de la Arena, and a 1.5kms walk along the cliff tops affords spectacular views of the ocean and coast as you make your way to Los Gigantes.

Due to the large number of local residents, the food choices here are a cut above many other neighbouring tourist towns. Nightlife here is quieter than other towns along the coast, and centres around the hotels and local bars tucked away in the narrow streets. Shopping is limited in Puerto de Santiago but nearby Los Gigantes possesses much more variety. 

The major sites to visit in Santiago del Teide province are the rugged imposing cliffs of Los Gigantes (The Giants). The other major draws for the region are the beaches, particularly the black volcanic sand beach of Playa de la Arena, which means 'sandy beach'.

Integrated in this solarium is the snack bar, ping-pong tables, a five-hole mini golf and two more pools.
