Casablanca Apartments
Puerto De La Cruz | Canary Islands
⭐⭐⭐+
Perched on a hillside above Puerto de la Cruz with sweeping views towards Mount Teide, Casablanca Apartments is a friendly, well-run complex that feels more like a neighbourhood than a hotel. Spacious self-catering apartments, a lagoon-style heated pool, the resort’s only lawn bowling green and plenty of family-friendly touches make it a smart base for exploring Tenerife’s lush north coast without sacrificing comfort or value.
Expect a classic Tenerife welcome at Casablanca Apartments: a relaxed hillside setting, whitewashed blocks stepped around a lagoon-style pool and far-reaching views to Mount Teide. Days drift by between the heated pool, shady terraces and the only bowling green in Puerto de la Cruz, while generously sized apartments give you the freedom of self-catering with the convenience of a hotel. Couples love the peaceful vibe; families appreciate the indoor play area, games room and easy walk down to the seafront.
For couples and families who prefer Tenerife’s greener, more authentic north over purpose-built resorts, Casablanca Apartments strikes a sweet balance: local charm, big Mount Teide views and space to spread out in your own apartment, all within walking distance of the beach and Lago Martiánez. It’s around 2 hours by road from Tenerife South (TFS). See more Canary Islands holidays.

Location | Casablanca Apartments
Location
Casablanca Apartments sit on a gently elevated hill above Puerto de la Cruz, on Tenerife’s lush, subtropical north coast. From here you’re close enough to stroll into the resort, yet far enough up the slope to enjoy cooling breezes and those trademark Mount Teide panoramas.
Walk around 10 minutes downhill to reach Martianez Beach and the promenade, lined with cafés, tapas bars and ocean-view terraces. Just beyond is the iconic Cesar Manrique-designed Lago Martiánez seawater lido – 46,000 square metres of pools and volcanic rock islands.
Puerto de la Cruz is all about local colour: historic squares, botanical gardens, black-sand beaches and traditional Canarian restaurants. It’s an excellent base for exploring the Orotava Valley and Teide National Park, with a more authentic vibe than many of the south-coast resorts.
Distances and Transfers
Martianez Beach: approx. 700m
Puerto de la Cruz resort centre: approx. 700m
Lago Martiánez seawater pools: approx. 750m

Restaurants and Bars
Casablanca Apartments is very much set up for easy-going self-catering, with simple on-site dining for days when you don’t feel like cooking.
The cafeteria and snack bar serves a selection of local and international dishes, snacks and drinks from morning until late evening (typically 08:00–00:00). This is also where Bed & Breakfast guests take their set-menu breakfast.
Expect relaxed, informal service, with light bites, café-style meals and drinks available throughout the day. Smart-casual dress may be requested in the evening, and opening times or menus can vary by season and occupancy. Reservations, supplements or board inclusions are subject to change – check locally for the latest details.
If you want to keep things flexible and budget-friendly, the well-equipped apartment kitchens and the nearby supermarkets and bakeries make DIY breakfasts and dinners easy, leaving you free to graze around town at lunchtime.
Pool Areas and Beach
The heart of Casablanca Apartments is its attractive lagoon-style outdoor freshwater pool, fringed by sunbeds, parasols and subtropical planting. There’s also a separate children’s pool, giving younger guests their own shallow splash zone.
The main pool and children’s pool are usually heated between 1 November and 1 May, making this a solid choice for winter-sun breaks. Pool towels are available with a refundable deposit, so you can pack a little lighter.
While the complex is slightly elevated, you’re still only around 700m from Martianez Beach and the seafront promenade. The coastline here is typically volcanic – think dark sand and Atlantic rollers – so it feels very different to the man-made beaches of the south. For calm seawater swimming and a unique sense of place, head to Lago Martiánez, the iconic sprawling lido complex just a short walk away.
