Tenerife

Southern Tenerife has year-round tourism, established mobility services and several large resort areas.

Terrain and getting around

Costa Adeje, Playa de las Américas and Los Cristianos contain both level promenades and steep connecting streets. A hotel’s elevation can transform the practical experience.

Accessibility is personal: distance, gradient, surface, heat and crowding affect travellers differently. Trace the complete route from the accommodation to the places that matter, including the return journey.

Choosing where to stay

Los Cristianos offers ferry links and a working town atmosphere; Costa Adeje and Las Américas vary from flat seafront hotels to sharply rising inland properties.

Ask for the narrowest doorway, lift dimensions, bathroom transfer space, bed height and a step-free route to every hotel facility that will be used. Obtain important commitments in writing.

Airport transfers and local transport

Nearest airport: Tenerife South Airport. Confirm the arrival airport because Tenerife has two. Road transfer from the northern airport to southern resorts is substantially longer.

Tell the transfer company whether the traveller can move into a vehicle seat or must remain in the wheelchair. Provide chair or scooter dimensions, combined weight, companion numbers and luggage details.

Mobility equipment hire

Mobility Abroad no longer accepts bookings or payments. We provide independent preparation information and links to selected providers so travellers can arrange equipment directly.

Confirm model, safe user weight, dimensions, charging, delivery, collection, damage cover and breakdown support. Match the equipment to the local terrain and the accommodation rather than selecting by price alone.

Practical local advice

Ask a local provider whether the selected scooter is suitable for the gradients around the exact hotel and planned daily routes.

Before booking Tenerife

• Check the exact hotel street and surrounding gradients.
• Request room, bathroom and lift measurements.
• Arrange airline assistance and an appropriate airport transfer.
• Confirm equipment delivery and emergency support in writing.
• Recheck important arrangements shortly before departure.
