Wake up two minutes from the Atlantic

Eleven modern, self-catering apartments on the beachfront — a private terrace on every one, a year-round pool, and the quiet that only an adults-only address can give you.

Your calm, adults-only corner of south Tenerife

Space to breathe, with the sea at the end of the street

BAL Apartments is a small, adults-only aparthotel of eleven modern apartments set right on the beachfront in Playa de las Américas, on the sunny south coast of Tenerife.

The sea is a two-minute walk away; the airport is about twenty minutes' drive. Everything else — the shops, the seafront promenade, the restaurants — is on your doorstep.

We kept it deliberately calm. No children, no pets, non-smoking throughout, and check-in age 24 and over. What you get instead is space to breathe: a private terrace on every apartment, a year-round outdoor pool, a sun terrace, and the kind of quiet that lets a holiday actually feel like one.

Because we're independently run, you're never far from a real answer. Reception speaks four languages, check-in and check-out are private and relaxed, and our tour desk is happy to point you toward Siam Park, a whale-watching trip from Los Cristianos, or a day up at Teide.

Getting here

Tenerife South Airport (TFS) is about 18 km away, roughly 20 minutes by road — a taxi from the airport rank is the simplest door-to-door option, and pre-booked private transfers are easy to arrange. If you're driving a hire car, take the TF-1 motorway southwest and exit for Playa de las Américas / Arona, then follow signs to the seafront; we're at 20 Calle Caracas with the beach directly in front. When you book direct, reception can advise on the best arrival option and share exact directions.
