January is peak cold and wet time in Tenerife, if you want to avoid the wettest month but equally not suffer high temperatures or high prices the best time for you to go is between March and June.
The cheapest months include March, April, May (excluding the Easter period), October and November. The temperature in Tenerife rarely dips below 18°C in these months, so sightseeing, hiking and other activities are all still possible – and there will be fewer people on the beaches.

The southern municipalities of Adeje and Arona saw the highest demand for real estate on Tenerife in 2022. Prices here also continued to rise. With average asking prices of just under 4,000 euros/m2, Costa Adeje and Playa de las Américas are the most expensive areas in the Canary Islands.

In general, the warmest parts of Tenerife (the south coast) have approximately the same average temperatures as the warmest parts of Gran Canaria (also the south coast).
Costa Adeje simply means Adeje's coast, Adeje being the municipality which administers the area. Playa de las Américas, on the other hand, is part of neighbouring Arona municipality. The border between the two is the Barranco del Rey which reaches the coast between C.C. Veronicas and Playa Troya II.
The south coast beaches like Playa de las Américas and Los Cristianos thrum with beach-goers, but those in the know go north instead for a slice of proper coastal wilderness and fewer crowds. Some of the best northern beaches are terrifically secluded, so much so that you can only reach them on foot or by boat.
Roughly said, the northern part of Tenerife is great for hikers, outdoor activities in Tenerife and pristine nature lovers. I recommend the south of the island such as Costa Adeje, Los Cristianos or Los Gigantes for those who are looking for beach holidays and all the facilities of a tourist hub.
