There are so many reasons why Tenerife’s terrific. Gold-and-black-sand beaches, charming towns and jaw-dropping natural landscapes are just the beginning. With it being an island, you can bank on sumptuously fresh seafood among the fine dining spoils, alongside an array of ambient bars, chic shops and upmarket promenades.

But where it excels even further is in its five-star hotel offering. So, to paint you a picture of exactly where you could be unpacking your suitcase, we’ve put together a luxury guide to Tenerife. Let’s take a look inside these ultra-plush properties...

Bahia Principe Fantasia Tenerife

Golf Del Sur

Fantasies become realities at the Bahia Principe Fantasia Tenerife. This seafront hotel is a particular winner for families, with highlights ranging from 24-hour All Inclusive board as standard, to gorgeous rooms and suites, two on-site splash parks and fun-stuffed children’s clubs.

Throughout a stay here, you’ll soon notice that magic is the plat du jour. Staggering ocean vistas and ultra-contemporary décor will catch your eye, while further delights come in culinary forms. Make a beeline for the four restaurants’ buffet and à la carte specialties, where every palate will leave pleased.

Hard Rock Hotel Tenerife

Playa Paraiso

Futuristic, state-of-the-art furnishings and facilities will steal your gaze the moment you walk in. While the Hard Rock Hotel Tenerife boasts a fun-for-everyone ethos, its beachfront plot, three outdoor pools, splash park and five fantastic restaurants make it a real champion for families. The tranquil Rock Spa® is just the tonic for grown-ups, as the kids take on hip-hop workshops, games console competitions and more in the age-specific and Teen Spirit clubs.

Naturally, given the brand’s iconic history, loud-and-proud sounds lay at the core. So break away from the ace amenities to immerse yourself in the entertainment. The best being concerts on the open-air stage.

GF Victoria

Costa Adeje

Health, wellness, style... at the GF Victoria, there are different focuses front and centre. But one thing’s for sure – it’s draped in luxury. Frame your days around the suspended rooftop infinity pool for the epitome of wow factor. Restful, ochre-adorned suites will be yours to unlock too, alongside a full gym, medley of curated sports activities and classes, and two nourish-me spas.

Parents can rest in the knowledge that their brood can try exquisite Spanish gastronomy. But when the children simply need to let off some steam, various dedicated clubs, the splash park, outdoor adventure zone and indoor play area come calling.

Iberostar Selection Anthelia

Costa Adeje

The palm-lined playas you’ll become accustomed to seeing might make screensaver-worthy snaps, but there’s so much more in store. Again, this opulent expanse is just the ticket for family-friendly serenity too, as the Iberostar Selection Anthelia has six rippling pools – one even with a playful pirate ship and slides – along with interconnecting rooms and bountiful board options. The Star Camp is a scout-style joy for your thrill-seeking juniors too.

No compromises can be found here for adults. The rejuvenating spa encourages you to sink into a muscle-soothing massage or two, before changing for dinner and sitting down to fine dining.

Royal Hideaway Corales Beach and Royal Hideaway Corales Suites

Costa Adeje

Design innovations, impeccable service and a whole host of unbeatable facilities are the common denominators across both. But if you’re more interested in an all-rounder for adults, Royal Hideaway Corales Beach is the ideal. Here, only supremely modern suites are bookable, and you can expect a VIP look and feel to the place. Staggering scenes of the sea can be had almost every which way, while Michelin-starred restaurants and the rooftop pool and bar are knockouts.

Can’t wait to be pampered from head to toe? The Royal Hideaway Corales Suites are better suited to you. Why? Its holistic spa entices with a majestic menu of Indian-inspired rituals, boosting the property’s generally organic mantra. So we think it’s R&R o’clock. It’s also a very well-located property, with an outdoor pool, four fab restaurants and bike hire* if you wish to roam around on two wheels.
