Here’s how you can make your solo trip seamless:
By Air
The most efficient way to get to El Médano is by flying into Tenerife South Airport (TFS), which is just a short 10-minute drive from El Médano and TWS. This airport is well-connected to many European cities, with regular flights operated by both low-cost and major airlines.
–> Solo Tip:
Book early for the best deals, and consider a window seat to enjoy breathtaking views of Tenerife’s landscape as you land.
Airport Transfers
From Tenerife South Airport, the easiest and most stress-free option for solo travelers is to arrange an airport transfer.
Many companies offer shared or private transfers that will take you directly to your accommodation in El Médano. You can pre-book online or find options at the airport.
–> Solo Tip:
If you prefer convenience and door-to-door service, a private transfer is ideal. For budget-conscious travelers, shared shuttles are also available.
Taxi
Taxis are readily available at Tenerife South Airport. The journey to El Médano takes around 10-15 minutes, and the fare is typically around €15-€20. It’s a quick, no-hassle option, especially for solo travelers with gear.
–> Solo Tip:
If you’re traveling with windsurfing gear, be sure to check that the taxi has enough space or request a larger vehicle in advance.
Public Bus
For a more budget-friendly option, you can take the public bus (TITSA) from the airport. Line 470 or Line 111 will take you to El Médano in about 30 minutes. Buses are reliable and frequent, but you’ll need to walk a bit to your accommodation or the TWS center after arrival.
–> Solo Tip:
Purchase a TEN+ card at the airport for easy tap-and-go access to Tenerife’s bus system and enjoy discounted fares.
Car Rental
If you prefer independence and flexibility, renting a car is a great option, especially if you plan to explore other parts of Tenerife during your stay.
Several car rental companies operate from Tenerife South Airport, and the drive to El Médano is straightforward along the TF-1 motorway.
–> Solo Tip:
Be sure to book a smaller car if you’re traveling solo, as parking in El Médano can be limited, especially near the beachfront.
Accommodation
Once in El Médano, you’ll find plenty of solo-friendly accommodation options, from budget hostels to beachfront apartments. Staying close to the TWS center allows for easy access to your daily windsurfing sessions.
–> Solo Tip:
Look for accommodations with communal spaces or shared kitchens if you’d like to meet other solo travelers and water sports enthusiasts during your stay.
Getting Around El Médano
El Médano is a small, walkable town, so you won’t need to rely on public transport once you’re there. Everything is within a short walking distance, including TWS, restaurants, shops, and beaches.
–> Solo Tip:
For short trips around town, renting a bike is a fun and eco-friendly way to get around and explore the local area. Make sure to use the TWS Loyalty Card
