If you’re searching for a family-friendly hotel that combines space, sea views and plenty of entertainment for all ages, Landmar Costa Los Gigantes is one of the most complete options on Tenerife’s west coast. During our most recent visit to Los Gigantes, we inspected the resort and spoke to several families who were staying there. The verdict was unanimous: this is a place designed for families who want everything in one location, pools, restaurants, spa, and children’s activities, without the bustle of larger southern resorts.

Located on a hillside above Puerto de Santiago, the hotel overlooks the Atlantic Ocean and the impressive Los Gigantes cliffs. The layout is expansive, with wide terraces, palm-lined paths, and multiple buildings connected by gentle slopes. Some areas involve a little uphill walking, but that’s the trade-off for the panoramic views and constant sea breeze that defines this part of the island.

Spacious Family Rooms
The rooms at Landmar Costa Los Gigantes are purpose-built for families. Most feature connecting layouts, separate sleeping areas for children, and generous terraces or balconies that face either the pools or the sea. The interiors are modern and practical, with tiled floors, good storage, and mini-fridges for drinks or baby food. During our inspection, we noted that ground-floor rooms are particularly convenient for families with prams, while the higher floors offer the best views across the Atlantic.
If you’re travelling with small children, the hotel can provide cots on request, and rooms close to the lifts make it easier to move around the complex.
Pools, Playtime and Family Fun
Few resorts in this part of Tenerife can match Landmar’s scale. There are several swimming pools spread across the property, including dedicated children’s areas and splash zones with small slides. The kids’ club operates daily during school holidays and offers age-appropriate activities such as crafts, games, and mini-discos. Parents we interviewed appreciated the friendliness of the animation team and the chance to enjoy some quiet time while the children were entertained.
The main pool area is lively during the day, with water games, music and a bar close by for snacks and drinks. For those seeking peace, a quieter adults-only section near the spa offers loungers, shade and a more relaxed atmosphere.
Dining and All-Inclusive Experience
Dining at Landmar Costa Los Gigantes centres around the buffet restaurants, where live-cooking stations serve a mix of Mediterranean and international dishes. The variety is ideal for families, and children are well catered for with their own selections of pasta, grilled meats, and fresh fruit. The all-inclusive package is especially convenient for families who prefer to stay on site, with drinks, snacks and ice cream available throughout the day.
Breakfasts are a highlight, with fresh pastries, local fruit, and ocean views from the outdoor terrace. For those who prefer quieter meals, arriving early tends to mean less crowding and more personal space.
Relaxation for Adults
Although the resort’s main focus is on families, adults will find enough here to unwind. The on-site spa offers massages, beauty treatments and a thermal circuit that’s ideal for an hour of peace while the children are busy at the club. There’s also a fitness area with treadmills and bikes, and a small sports court for a casual game of tennis or football.
Couples we spoke with liked the balance between family activity and adult space, it’s possible to have both here without compromise.
Location and Getting Around
Landmar Costa Los Gigantes sits above the main road linking Puerto de Santiago and Los Gigantes, making it easy to reach by taxi or hire car. The drive from Tenerife South Airport takes about 50 minutes. Walking down to the coast is pleasant, but the return is uphill; many families take a short taxi ride back in the afternoon.
The black-sand Playa de la Arena beach is just a few minutes away by car, while the Los Gigantes marina, known for its whale-watching excursions, is roughly 10 minutes away. For a full day out, Siam Park in Costa Adeje is about a 30-minute drive and is easily reachable by organised excursions or transfer services offered by Jet2 and TUI.
Nearby Attractions
Beyond the resort, there’s plenty to explore. The cliffs of Acantilados de los Gigantes are one of Tenerife’s most striking natural landmarks, and boat trips from the harbour often include dolphin and whale sightings. Families often combine a day at the marina with a visit to the beach or a local restaurant like The Harbour Club, known for its terrace views.
For adventurous travellers, the drive up to Masca Valley rewards with incredible scenery and photo stops. And for a livelier day, Costa Adeje offers shopping, dining and the famous Siam Park waterpark, perfect for kids and thrill-seekers alike.
Our Impression
Landmar Costa Los Gigantes stands out for its sense of space and flexibility. Families can spend full days by the pool without feeling crowded, while still having enough variety in dining and entertainment to keep things interesting for a week or more. The hillside location means sweeping sea views from most points of the property, especially at sunset when the cliffs glow deep orange.
If you value convenience, safety and family-oriented service over nightlife or boutique style, this is one of the best options on Tenerife’s quieter west coast.
For travellers seeking a different experience, nearby TUI Blue Los Gigantes offers an adults-only atmosphere, while Royal Sun Resort focuses on apartment-style comfort and large private terraces.
