Location & Accessibility

Situated in Valle San Lorenzo, Cactus Coliving offers a peaceful, local setting. While the immediate area is walkable for basics, exploring Tenerife's famous beaches and attractions requires planning. Public buses stop nearby, but services can be infrequent. For full freedom to explore the island's diverse landscapes—from volcanic peaks to coastal towns—renting a car is highly recommended.

Public Transport

Local bus stops (e.g., El Hornito) are within a 5-10 minute walk, connecting to other towns and the coast. Travel to popular beach areas like Los Cristianos can take about an hour by bus. Tenerife Sur Airport (TFS) is approximately a 20-minute drive away.

Car Considerations

A rental car is highly recommended for convenient exploration of the island. The coliving sometimes offers a shared car for rent. Parking is available. The south location provides easier access to sunny beaches and the airport.

Walkability

The immediate town of Valle San Lorenzo is walkable, with restaurants, a gym, and grocery stores within a short distance. For longer trips, taxis and ride-shares are available but can be expensive. The terrain is relatively flat in the town center.

Key Distances

Local restaurants and shops: 5-10 min walk; Nearest major beaches (e.g., Los Cristianos): ~15-20 min drive or ~1 hour by bus; Tenerife Sur Airport (TFS): ~20 min drive; Teide National Park: ~1 hour drive.

Challenges & Tips

The coliving's strength—a quiet, local town—also means you are not within walking distance of major attractions or nightlife. Relying solely on buses limits spontaneity. Renting a car is the best strategy for maximizing your Tenerife experience. The south location guarantees more sunny days.
