Villa Zen in Costa Adeje in Costa Adeje, Tenerife

Villa Zen, Costa Adeje – Private Villa Stays with Space, Views and a Heated Pool – First things first: is this all inclusive?

Villa Zen is not an all inclusive hotel. It is a private self-catering villa in Costa Adeje with a heated pool and sea views. If you would like that easy, ‘everything’s sorted’ feel, you can still build an all inclusive-style break by bundling flights, private transfers, and your villa stay, then adding pre-booked meals (chef nights, breakfast hampers), attraction tickets and a couple of set-price dinners nearby-simple, predictable and fuss-free.

Where you will be

Set on the south coast of Tenerife, Villa Zen sits in Costa Adeje’s residential hills, a five-minute drive to beaches like Fanabe and El Duque and two minutes to the golf course. You are close to the action but with proper peace when you want it.

 

 

The look & layout

This is a Thai-style, semi-detached home (around 350 sq.m across several levels) with three bedrooms, three bathrooms and a games room-ideal for families or two couples sharing. Expect Netflix-ready lounge, a fully equipped kitchen, fast Wi-Fi, and a top-floor terrace with 270 degree views across the ocean, La Gomera and the mountains.

Outdoors: pool days & lazy evenings

The star is the private heated pool framed by tropical planting and a Balinese-inspired pergola-perfect for post-beach siestas and evening BBQs. Note that some listings mention a supplement for pool heating, so check inclusions when you book.

Eating & drinking (self-catering made easy)

Stock the fridge on arrival and dine in as much or as little as you like-there is a BBQ for long sunsets at home, and plenty of tavernas down by the promenade when you fancy a night out. Reviews mention a Lidl and other shops about a 10 to 15-minute walk (the villa is on a hill), so many guests opt for a quick taxi or a supermarket stop on the transfer.

Beaches & days out

You are minutes from Playa del Duque for elegant sunbathing, Fanabe for a livelier strand with water sports, and an easy hop to Siam Park for a full-on waterpark day. Costa Adeje’s marina (Puerto Colon) handles dolphin-spotting trips and coastal cruises, and the Golf Costa Adeje fairways are just up the road. (Distance to beaches and golf per the owner site.)

Getting around

The setting is quiet and a little hilly. Taxis are easy, but a hire car gives maximum freedom for beaches, shops and evening meals along the coast. Guests also use pre-booked private transfers from Tenerife South (TFS); flight time from the UK is roughly 4 hrs 15 mins.

Who will love Villa Zen

• ✔️ Families who want space, a private pool and easy beach access.
• ✔️ Couples after privacy and sunset terraces.
• ✔️ Golfers & park-goers (Golf Costa Adeje and Siam Park are close).
• ✔️ Friends planning chef nights, BBQs and relaxed, villa-based evenings.

The ‘all inclusive-style’ angle (without a resort)

Villa Zen doesn’t run meal plans, but you can still keep costs clear and stress low-our Cheap All Inclusive Holidays approach works like this:

• ✔️ Bundle the basics: flights + private transfers + the villa.
• ✔️ Pre-arrange food touches: a breakfast hamper for day one, a mid-week chef-at-home dinner, and two set-price restaurant bookings on the seafront.
• ✔️ Pre-pay activities: Siam Park tickets, a dolphin cruise, and one taxi credit for supermarket runs.

That way most of your outlay is fixed up front, yet you keep the freedom that makes a villa stay special.

Need-to-knows

• ✔️ Multi-level home with stairs; not ideal for guests with limited mobility.
• ✔️ Heated pool is available; confirm if a fee applies for your dates.
• ✔️ Owner site lists direct-booking price bands if you prefer to book direct.
