Tenerife has come a long way in the past two decades, shaking off its gaudy stereotypes of a cheap and somewhat tacky fly-and-flop destination, in favour of better-quality experiences, up-market hotels and resorts, a spectacular food and drink scene, and an appreciation for cultural and historical activities and sights.
One marked difference has been the emergence of luxury hotels and resorts across the island, from five-star, palatial resorts and opulent boutique hotels, to calm and sophisticated retreats and adults-only escapes.
While most of the luxury hotels in Tenerife are located in the south-west area of Costa Adeje, there are sumptuous accommodation offerings springing up across the island. Only a four-hour flight from most UK airports, Tenerife is a year-round destination thanks for its near constant temperate climate and sunny weather, and ideal for those seeking the finer things from their getaway.

Playa del Duque, Costa Adeje
Ask anyone on the island about luxury hotels and they’ll probably all come up with the same name: Bahia del Duque. That’s because this family-run hotel group has been at the forefront of the high-end Tenerife hospitality scene for decades. Their now iconic Bahia del Duque resort is like a small Canarian-style village with different levels and areas – don’t worry there are chauffeur-driven golf buggies to get you from place to place. The spa has a courtyard-style, open-air pool and is set up for ultimate relaxation. You won’t go hungry, as the resort’s 10 restaurants cater to all tastes. They include the sublime Japanese-inspired Kensei, and the innovative Michelin-star Nub helmed by chefs Andrea Bernardi and Fernanda Fuentes Cárdenas who fuse the best of Latin American and Mediterranean cuisines.
