While Fañabe is known for its chic beach clubs, Torviscas is where the action happens. Located right next to the Puerto Colon marina, this beach offers a more laid-back, traditional holiday feel with everything you need just a few steps away.

Strategic Location: Perfectly situated between the luxury of El Duque and the hustle of Las Americas.

Water Sports Hub: Whether you want to try parascending, jet skis, or a pedal boat with the family, this beach is the main starting point for coastal adventures.

The Marina Connection: You can go from sunbathing to a whale-watching boat trip in Puerto Colon in less than 5 minutes.

Playa de Torviscas is designed for a hassle-free day by the sea. You will find sunbeds and parasols widely available along the entire shore, perfect for those planning to spend the whole day under the sun. The beach is fully accessible, featuring wooden walkways and adapted facilities for strollers and wheelchairs. Furthermore, thanks to the massive breakwaters that protect the bay, the water remains calm and safe for swimming year-round, offering peace of mind for those who aren’t strong swimmers or simply want to float in tranquility.

The promenade at Torviscas is famous for its variety. From classic English pubs serving a reliable Sunday roast to local kiosks where you can grab a cold Dorada beer while keeping your toes in the sand.

Many visitors don’t realize where one ends and the other begins. Think of Torviscas as the hub for activity and boat trips, while Fañabe is the place for high-end lounging. Both share the same calm, wave-free waters that make this coast famous.

While Fañabe is known for its luxury resorts, the area around Torviscas offers a fantastic range of apartments and hotels that put you right at the heart of the action. Whether you are looking for a family-friendly complex or a balcony with views of the Puerto Colon marina, our top picks include the Sunset Harbour Club, a firm favourite for its traditional Andalusian style and its location just a stone’s throw from the sand, and the Iberostar Bouganville Playa, which is perfect for families and couples seeking excellent sea views and top-tier facilities. For those looking for great value apartment-style living close to the shops and the marina, Hovima Santa Maria remains an ideal choice for a convenient and relaxed stay.

Getting to Playa de Torviscas is straightforward. If you are staying in Costa Adeje, the beach is within easy walking distance via the scenic coastal promenade. For those coming from further afield, the TITSA bus service (lines 467, 471, and 473) stops frequently at the nearby San Eugenio station. Alternatively, many visitors choose to arrive via rental car, as it provides the convenience of moving between different beaches and nearby attractions without sticking to a fixed schedule.
