Tenerife, the largest in the Canary Islands, is home to some of the best hotels across the archipelago, welcoming thousands of visitors each year seeking its clean, safe and sandy shores.
Over the past decade, the island has been slowly shaking off its former guise as a destination for cheap, tacky tourism in favour of showcasing its breathtaking natural wonders, such as Spain’s tallest mountain (the volcano, El Teide), its fascinating cultural heritage, and its divine food and drink scene.
As part of this transformation, the quality of the island’s accommodation is now astronomical: think high-end resorts, chic city boltholes, and extravagant boutique hotels. Our hotel experts have rounded up the very best of Tenerife’s hotels for you to discover.

The hotel’s wellness retreat is just that, a secluded retreat with a spa, outstanding treatments, yoga and mindfulness experts and a gym (should you feel the need). You can’t really go wrong with any of the restaurants here – Nub has a Michelin star – but you really shouldn’t miss the Japanese delights of Kensei by chef Victor Planas. The 2.5-hour tasting menu of sushi, slow-cooked wagyu and more is simply divine.
