The popularity of Palm Mar has been recognised by the government owned public bus company TITSA. They have introduced a circular bus route that connects this sedate coastal village with its charming neighbours Las Galletas, Guargacho and Parque de la Reina.

This ties in with the continued gentle and measured growth of services for residents and visitors. There are eight services a day starting at 6.10am for early birds and running until 4.40pm. The new service is being closely monitored by the bus company with a view to expansion once it has proved its worth.

The new roundabout and access roads from the main TF1 motorway are now well established and resulting in the free flow of the traffic down to the Palm Mar turn, but don’t worry, the natural barriers of Montaña Guaza and the Malpais de la Rasca nature reserve will always ensure that Palm Mar remains a partly hidden jewel on the Arona coast

Anytime of year Tenerife offers a warm welcome and a wide choice of experiences, but summer really brings out the best as fiestas and concerts take centre stage. Of course while it’s great to dip into the vibrant colour and music, it’s nice to have a relaxing sedate home like Palm Mar to come back to.

This summer as well as the local village and town fiestas, there are some bug international acts all within easy reach of the southern oasis of Palm Mar. Alicia Keys attracted around 10,000 fans to the Santa Cruz dockside for her 6th June concert, even that was barely an hour away.

On 20 July Simply Red bing their Farewell Tour to Golf Costa Adeje, a mere 20 minutes from Palm Mar, this is sure to be a popular event. Los Cristianos and Las Americas will be offering up the usual summer food and craft fairs and Las Galletas just 5 minutes from Palm Mar is always bustling with street fairs.

Tenerife is still a top choice as a place to visit and especially to live. The cooling Atlantic lapping at the shore and the consistent sunny warm days are there all year round, what could be better.

Saturday 5 th  June was World Environment Day and the place to be in Arona, South Tenerife was Palm Mar. With Montaña Guaza as one of the islands most popular walks and the Maplaia de la Rasca nature reserve enjoying the hot summer weather, Palm Mar nestling in the middle was the ideal starting point for a special nature walk.

Malpais de la Rasca has always held a special place in the hearts of locals but now there is a call to extend the protected area to conserve the many plants and animals unique to this area. Arona council has applied to the Canary Islands government to spread their protective net to include more of the volcanic outcrops and old grazing areas. The two lighthouses have received quite a bit of attention lately to protect their features from the elements that blow in from the Atlantic, and now the nearby rock pools and old farmers shelters can look forward to more protection.

This is of course good news for those enjoying the laid back life in Palm Mar, Montaña Guaza and Malpais de la Rasca will always be open for the public to walk and savour, but there can be no over development here to spoil this piece of paradise.

One of the main access problems on the roads to Palm Mar has been cured with the completion of the new road running down from the TF 1 motorway at Guaza. At the busiest parts of the day, the roundabout at the entrance would often suffer a tailback as traffic built up but the completed work has eased the congestion.

This means there are now seperate roads in and out of Guaza, running parallel and with plenty of room for cars and buses. There has never been a better time to visit Palm Mar and find out about the exciting rental opportunities in this restful corner of Tenerife South. It’s now easier to get to the South airport, barely 15 minutes away, or to reach the 2 golf courses at Amarilla Golf or Golf del Sur. If you want to pop up north to Santa Cruz on business or shopping, you will also appreciate the improved journey in and out of Palm Mar.

You are sure to be impressed at the natural sun trap that Palm Mar is, and the way the Guaza mountain shields it from the wind. Have a good look round, the beach will draw you towards the new maritime walkway and you will finally know just why everyone is talking about Palm Mar.

Looking at the bright modern face of Palm Mar, it’s difficult to imagine that it has such a long history. Tucked away in it’s natural valley between Guaza mountain and Malpais de Rasca natural park, it has developed into a stylish residential resort and few are aware of its history.

The October issue of FreshMagazine sheds new light on how the dream was born. It’s all down to Aman A Miran Khan from Afghanistan who moved to Tenerife with his family and in 1968 fell in love with Palm Mar.

Working with a local architect, Luis Cabrera, they created their vision but by 1973 it had been sold on to several other developers and it’s progress hit a quiet phase. Now though as more developments are completed, the dream is looking pretty impressive with a serene realxed setting that makes a perfect place to live.

Aman died in 1990 but his dream is flourishing and he is remembered with a commemorative stone in the heart of Palm Mar.

Passing through the arched entrance to Palm Mar is like passing over a threshold into a softer more tranquil world. As a first time visitor, I just stood and looked down the main avenue, lined with cool shady palm trees and listened. No loud music, no traffic and no bustle of people rushing to save themselves a few seconds of time.

Lifted by the serene surroundings and keen to explore, I headed down past the small row of shops and bars and weaved through some of the smaller connecting streets past the modern stylish developments and down to the sea.

What a delightful promenade along the sea front, several people were making use of the benches in little alcoves while others just walked taking in the views. Looking across to Los Cristianos, it seemed a world away from this relaxed sun trap. The beach was a mix of keen swimmers, families with picnics, and a few lazy fishermen perched on rocks.

The towering rocky face of Guaza Mountain was keeping the wind down to a gentle breeze and a brisk walk later I found myself up near the start of Malpais de Rasca. The volcanic landscape leading to the candy striped lighthouse had attracted a few walkers but I just enjoyed the view and savoured the peace and quiet.
