Hotels in Tenerife

Tenerife

Tenerife is the largest of Spain's Canary Islands, covering 2,034 square kilometres and welcoming over seven million visitors each year. The island is dominated by Mount Teide, Spain's highest peak at 3,718 metres, which sits within a UNESCO World Heritage national park and rises 7,500 metres from the ocean floor as the world's third-tallest volcanic structure. Tenerife's climate divides dramatically between the lush, green north watered by trade wind clouds and the sun-drenched south coast where over 300 days of sunshine are guaranteed annually. Costa Adeje and Playa de las Americas concentrate the island's luxury resorts, all-inclusive hotels and vibrant nightlife along golden sand beaches. In the north, Puerto de la Cruz retains its colonial character with botanical gardens and black volcanic sand beaches set against the dramatic backdrop of the Orotava Valley. The Carnival of Santa Cruz de Tenerife is the second largest in the world after Rio de Janeiro, attracting over one million revellers each February. San Cristóbal de La Laguna, a UNESCO World Heritage city founded in 1496, preserves 600 buildings of Mudéjar architecture and served as the model for colonial town planning across Latin America. Tenerife holds eleven Michelin stars across nine restaurants, making it one of the most decorated culinary destinations in the Atlantic. Siam Park has been voted the world's best water park for ten consecutive years, while Loro Parque houses over 4,500 animals and has been named the world's best zoo. Whether you seek whale watching off Los Gigantes, hiking through the ancient laurel forests of Anaga, or a winter sun escape on a five-star terrace, hotels in Tenerife offer every experience the Atlantic has to deliver.
