Is there luggage storage or are there lockers at Playa del Duque? Not on the sand itself, but there are lockers just a few minutes' walk away at Duke Shops (floor -1), open 10:00–22:00. That way you can enjoy one of the most beautiful beaches in Costa Adeje without keeping an eye on your backpack or dragging your suitcases around on the day you arrive in or leave Tenerife.
What Playa del Duque is like
Playa del Duque is a town beach with golden sand and calm waters, around 400 metres long, right in the heart of Costa Adeje, between Fañabé and La Caleta. It is lined with five-star hotels and a beautifully kept seafront promenade, and it is one of the favourite beaches for families and couples in the south of the island.
It has all the facilities you would expect from a tourist beach: showers, toilets, sunbed and parasol hire, lifeguards during bathing hours and accessible entry points. It has been awarded the Blue Flag on several occasions for the quality of its water and facilities (the award is renewed every season).
Getting there
- On foot: from Fañabé or Playa de las Américas along the seafront promenade, one of the loveliest walks in the south.
- By car: there is parking at the shopping centres and in nearby streets, although it fills up quickly in high season. Best to get there early.
- By taxi or car from the airport: it takes about 20 minutes from Tenerife South Airport via the TF-1 motorway.
Where can you leave your things or your luggage?
This is the big headache of any beach day: you can't relax in the water if you leave your phone, wallet or backpack on your towel. And if it's your arrival or departure day, the problem is your luggage: hotel check-in isn't until the afternoon, or you've already checked out and your flight doesn't leave until the evening.
The answer is right above the beach: at Duke Shops, the shopping centre next to Playa del Duque, you'll find Locker in the Island self-service lockers on floor -1, by the entrance to the toilets. Here's how they work:
- Opening hours: 10:00–22:00, every day.
- Sizes: size S locker for backpacks and beach bags, and size L locker for suitcases.
- Price: from €11.90 per day (€17.90 for the large one), no deposit.
- Booking: online or directly on the locker screen, paying by card.

Tips for your day at Playa del Duque
- Get up early in high season: the front-row sunbeds are snapped up well before midday.
- Check the flag before swimming: it's usually a calm beach, but sea conditions change from day to day.
- Always wear sun cream: the sun in Tenerife is strong, even in winter.
- Travel light: leave whatever you don't need on the sand in the locker and head down with just your towel and sun cream.
