Arona is, together with Adeje, the tourism engine of southern Tenerife. The municipality includes the large centres of Los Cristianos and Playa de las Américas, plus areas like Costa del Silencio and Palm-Mar. Over 80,000 registered residents and a floating population that multiplies that figure several times a year.
Vacation rental density in Arona is extraordinary: residential buildings converted to tourist use, hotel resorts with private apartment blocks, villas in upper areas and aparthotels with fragmented ownership. Each type has its own access protocols, schedules and cleaning demands.
