In a prime plot

From here in Los Cancajos, you can explore all the best bits of the island. The buzzy capital, Santa Cruz, is just a 15-minute drive away and neighbouring Brena Baja is well worth a visit. Plus, the airport is less than five minutes away – how's that for handy?


Snorkel or scuba dive!

From the majestic black-sand shore, you can explore the fascinating underwater world of the Atlantic Ocean. The bay is sheltered so the waters are calm and warm all year round. When you’re not taking a dip, simply kick back on a lounger or hammock and soak up the rays.


Day trip to the capital

By bus or car, you can be in Santa Cruz in no time! That means, you’ll have all the museums, churches, bars and restaurants at your fingertips. Day or night, this colourful area is great for wandering around and mingling with the locals. Why not grab a drink and watch the world go by?
