Soaring above the coastal city of Santa Cruz, this penthouse apartment is a bright and summery base where families looking to explore Tenerife can hunker down. The house is spacious already, but there's also a roomy terrace with everything you need for sun-worshipping – sun loungers, an outdoor shower, a hot tub and a table ideal for alfresco meals. Though there's no swimming pool, you can swim at Caleta de Negros, only a short drive away. The workspace and fitness area is also a good way to make this feel even more like a home away from home.
