Keys for a five-star holiday in Tenerife

Enjoying a conventional holiday is different to designing a personalised holiday for you and your couple with a common denominator: the word "luxury" as a common theme.

We are not talking about the luxury related to relax, rest and escape from routine proper of a holiday, but of the authentic luxury: of exclusive excursions for couples, personalised experiences and high level shopping.

Although there are many destinations that offer these types of holidays (destinations like the Balearic Islands or Riviera Maya), this month we are going to focus on Tenerife, the largest of the Canary Islands. A place where to enjoy the rest we are looking for our holidays and where to live the true luxury like never before. Everything with a single aim: to get a memorable and unforgettable holiday. 

Benijo Beach, Tenerife

A romantic trip along the Atlantic waters

With the vastness of the great blue as a setting and the Canary skies as a witness, we recommend you a private trip along Tenerife's waters: a charming, romantic and luxury experience. Although those knowledgeable of marine matters may choose a charter sailing boat, the best option is to opt for the "no worries" with a charter boat with captain and service aboard included.

Choosing the destination is simple: everything in Tenerife is beautiful. But if you are looking for an intimate and hidden cove, the best option is Playa del Benijo (which offers stunning views of the sunset) or the natural coves of the area of Granadilla, in the south of the island.

A dinner for two by candlelight

After a romantic trip along the islands' waters, what could be better than a luxury dinner for two. Tenerife offers a high level gastronomy, but we recommend you stop by the Los Menceys Restaurant of the IBEROSTAR Grand Hotel Mencey. One of the best hotels of the island, renowned at an international level.

The best option? Booking a table in advance, enjoying the magic of the night by candlelight and receiving the best personal attention of the staff in order to choose the best tastes of the menu. A totally recommendable experience.

5-star hotels in quality and service

Apart from an agenda of activities based on luxury and exclusivity, a five-star holiday must include a high quality hotel, an accommodation that goes beyond a good service and based on "experiences". Although there are many options in the island, we recommend you three luxury hotels for your 5-star holidays:

1.       IBERSOTAR Mencey Grand Hotel: The Adults Only IBEROSTAR Grand Hotel Mencey is a paradise hotel. A five-star hotel where your most romantic dreams will come true and where you will enjoy luxury and relax like never before. Its exclusive Sensations Spa, its luxury facilities and its personalised attention make if one of the best hotels of our country.

2.  IBEROSTAR El Mirador Grand Hotel: For those looking for a hotel on the seaside, the best option is the IBEROSTAR Grand Hotel El Mirador. An Adults Only Grand Luxury Hotel. With thousand square metres of spa and with a unique gastronomic offer in the area, the hotel offers one of the best views of the island. 

3. IBERSOTAR Salome Grand Hotel: The exclusive beaches of Fañabe and El Duque (in the heart of Costa Adeje) shelter the IBEROSTAR Grand Hotel Salome, our last stop during our route along the best Grand Luxury hotels of the island. This five-star hotel, one of the best All Inclusive hotels of the island, is located on the beachfront and offers endless facilities where to discover luxury. 

Grand Hotel El Mirador, an Andalusian architectonical jewel in the Canary Islands

Grand Hotel El Mirador is one of the most important architectonic Arabic style monuments in Tenerife. It has been recognized as a 5-star Grand Luxury hotel in Costa Adeje, with beautiful balustrades, gantries, arcs and magnificent building wings, allowing visitors to discover the traditional construction of the ancient Al Andalus.

Boutique hotels are mainly built on emblematic buildings completely restored, so staying at these hotels is like being in another social era.

Architecture and design are the main attributes of boutique hotels. In order to renew this ancient buildings and convert them into hotels requires important investments, so it’s important to make big profits.

Rooms of Grand Hotel El Mirador

In reference to Grand Hotel El Mirador, it’s an amazing Adults Only resort in front of Playa del Duque in the south of the island with big spaces: 22.000 m2 of Arabic and tropical gardens full of varied plants only found in the Canary Islands, more than 1.000 m2 of spa areas… We can see Al Andalus touches in the middle of this volcanic landscape in Tenerife:

• Seawalls with panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean made with stone and natural high quality pieces.
• Big terraces open to gardens under a covered porch with typical Arabic arches. The resort is surrounded by flowers, trees and design paths.
• Inner Yards where you can relax and enjoy the natural environment.

The interior architecture and design is influenced by the ancient Al Andalus combined with cutting-edge technology and modern spaces designed for guests to relax during their stay. This Adults Only hotel in Costa Adeje has big and comfortable suites with colonial decorations, very bright and with spectacular views of the Atlantic Ocean.

The hotel pools, jacuzzis, private bath areas and ponds in the gardens allow guests to feel the relaxing atmosphere influenced by Al Andalus style combined with the textures and colours of the colonial era.

It has been considered as one of the few Grand Luxury hotel in the Canary Islands - recognized after a recent restoration which convert it into a 5-star Adults Only hotel- and an architectonical icon in Costa Adeje.
