Los Gigantes, Tenerife Jasmine Harman

Craig, who works as a joiner, and Suzy, who works in the wine industry, started dating nearly 9 years ago and between them they have three children. After discovering the seaside town of Los Gigantes on Tenerife 6 years ago, they’ve been back many times, and now they’ve decided its the perfect place to buy a holiday home for all the family. To help them fulfil their dream, they’ve called on Jasmine Harman who has hunted out five great options for them to see for their £200,000 budget, but will any be the one to capture their hearts?

About the area

Around a four hour flight from the UK takes you to Los Gigantes on the west coast of Tenerife. Surrounded by imposing cliffs up to 800 metres high, and stunning sea views, Los Gigantes is a popular destination for holiday makers looking for a quieter resort than more bustling areas such as Los Cristianos and Torviscas half an hour drive away. But there’s plenty still to do here with shops, cafes and bars and a sandy beach right next to the marina, as well as watersports and hiking trails for those who want a bit more action.
