What is Playa Graciosa?
Playa Graciosa is one of the standout residential developments in Los Cristianos. The three phases share a very similar look, feel and build quality, with gated pedestrian access, secure underground parking, lifts to all floors, private storage rooms, and a noticeably more residential atmosphere than many South Tenerife complexes.
One of the key reasons buyers are drawn here is the combination of space, privacy, quality construction and strong resale demand. It appeals to people looking for a proper home or winter base, not just a holiday apartment.

About the Playa Graciosa Complexes
The Playa Graciosa complexes were developed in phases (1, 2 and 3), but all share a very similar look, feel and build quality. Construction of phase 1 was in 1999, phase 2 in 2001 and phase 3 in 2003. Each complex benefits from gated pedestrian access, secure car parks, lifts to all floors, underground parking, and trasteros (private storage rooms).
Rental rules & VV licences
A prohibition on holiday rentals (“Prohibición alquiler vacacional”) is registered in the title documentation of these complexes. In practical terms, new owners should treat Playa Graciosa as a residential / long-term-use complex, not as a straightforward short-term holiday-let investment.
There may still be a very small number of older legacy licences active, but the overall character of Playa Graciosa is strongly residential and anti–short-term rental in practice.
For a broader overview of how VV licences currently work across Tenerife, see our full guide to holiday rental VV licences in Tenerife in 2026.
Playa Graciosa 1
The furthest phase from the El Mirador strip and the main nightlife in Los Cristianos, while remaining a short walk to the promenade. It is the only phase with a private paddle tennis court.
Perimeter approx. 430m, with 61% bordering pedestrian walkways and 39% on the road.
Playa Graciosa 2
Centrally positioned and the largest of the three phases. Close to both the El Mirador strip and the seafront, it is located on Calle Chalana, a cul-de-sac with no through-traffic.
Perimeter approx. 555m, with nearly 400m of pedestrian-only borders, making this arguably the quietest phase overall.
Playa Graciosa 3
The closest phase to the El Mirador strip and the best local restaurants, yet still far enough away that there is no meaningful noise disturbance. It also features the only heated communal pool.
This phase has the most road exposure overall, which mainly affects some ground-floor rear terraces depending on position.
Locations and Positions of the Playa Graciosa Complexes
How the Playa Graciosa complexes are positioned
The three Playa Graciosa complexes sit just behind the Los Cristianos seafront, but their exact positions create noticeable differences in feel, noise exposure, privacy and convenience.
- Playa Graciosa 1 is furthest from the El Mirador strip and main nightlife, giving it a quieter overall setting while still remaining walkable to the promenade.
- Playa Graciosa 2 is the most central and, because so much of its perimeter borders pedestrian walkways and a cul-de-sac, it is often the best-balanced phase in terms of convenience and tranquility.
- Playa Graciosa 3 is closest to restaurants and amenities and includes the only heated communal pool, though parts of it have more road exposure depending on the exact block and apartment position.
Key insight: in practical terms, the position of the individual apartment within each phase often matters more than the phase itself, particularly for ground-floor units where road exposure or pedestrian borders can significantly affect privacy and noise.
Apartment Types in Playa Graciosa
Ground Floor Apartments
Highly sought after for their outdoor space, typically featuring front terraces and rear gardens of 50–70m²+. Perfect for families or for buyers who want extra outside space without the maintenance of a villa.
Middle Floor Apartments
Usually feature a single terrace off the lounge. They offer bright internal layouts and can sometimes represent slightly better value than equivalent ground-floor or penthouse units.
Penthouse Apartments (Duplex Layouts)
All penthouses follow a duplex design. The lower level contains 1, 2, or 3 bedrooms and the main lounge. The upper level features an additional room and a private rooftop terrace.
Important note on bedroom counts: because all penthouses have an additional room on the upper level, many owners market them with more bedrooms than shown on the deed. For example, a 1-bedroom penthouse is often advertised as a 2-bedroom. It is important to ask: “Is this a 1 bedroom plus 1?” so you are comparing prices correctly.
Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, often more than the phase itself. The exact position of an apartment (especially ground floor units) can significantly affect privacy, sun orientation, and road exposure. This is one of the most important factors to assess when buying.
This varies. Some apartments have been fully refurbished to a high standard, while others remain in original condition. Buyers should assess each property individually rather than assuming all units are similar.

Yes. Every penthouse includes a private rooftop terrace. Many owners use the upper level as an office, entertainment space, or additional sleeping area.

They are typically more expensive due to larger apartment sizes, better build quality, strong reputation, and consistent demand from residential buyers.
They are not the cheapest option, but they are generally considered strong value for buyers looking for long-term use, space, and resale stability rather than short-term yield.
