How to get there:
Most travelers arrive at Tenerife South Airport (TFS), from which there are several ways to reach Hard Rock Hotel Tenerife.
​
Taxi / Private transfer
This is the quickest and most direct option. The drive is approximately 26–28 km and takes around 25 minutes. Typical taxi fares from the airport to the hotel range from €35 to €40.
Airport shuttle / Shared transfer
You can pre-book a shared shuttle service that connects Tenerife South Airport with major resorts, including Hard Rock Hotel Tenerife. This is a convenient choice if you prefer not to drive.
Public bus
This is the most economical option. You would usually take a bus from the airport to a nearby hub such as “Estación Costa Adeje” (Costa Adeje), then transfer to another bus, typically route 471, which stops near the hotel. The total journey takes about 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes and costs approximately €5–7.
