We all think we know Tenerife but...

The largest of the Canaries, and probably the best known, Tenerife is mountains, desert, green fields and beaches.  In the past it has had a reputation as a mass market destination but today it offers a superb five star experience with some stunning hotels and excellent golf facilities, watersports and other activites.

To ensure the service and quality we expect for our clients we have carefully selected a limited number of hotels in:
Los Cristianos, Playa de las Americas, Arona, Adeje and Guia de Isora in the south. Plus Puerto de la Cruz and La Orotava in the North and Garachico in the west.

...there are many less well known areas of the island well worth a visit

The different areas of Tenerife mean, that whether you like the hustle and bustle of the busier resorts with nightlife, restaurants and shopping on your doorstep, or prefer a quieter but equally accessible location, or a much more Canarian experience staying in a rural property, then you can be sure of finding what you want here.  We have an excellent range to choose from.

We have selected our properties in the following areas:

Adeje

Located on the southwest of Tenerife the coast, known as Costa Adeje, has in recent years undergone a major development and offers hotels of a very high quality. Many of our hotels on the South Coast are located in this region. The tourist facilities have endowed the area with everything it needs to ensure visitors are happy but still retains its much of it original charm. Within this area are some of the island´s main tourist resorts, some better known than others San Eugenio, Fañabé, Playa del Duque and part of the popular Playa de Las Américas.

The area has a surprising wealth of marine life, with one of the world´s most important colonies of Whales and Dolphins.  Pilot whales, dolphins and other species of marine mammals can be seen off its shores, providing a natural spectacle that can be viewed from the numerous boats that offer excursions to observe them swimming in their natural habitat.
Two championship level golf courses complete the range of leisure activities on offer in the area.

Arona

Arona is one of the most important tourist areas in the island and includes, amongst others, part of Playa de las Americas and Los Cristianos, and suits for those looking for a wide variety of attractions.
Los Cristianos is a coastal fishing village, which has conserved its original characteristics and this is where we have the Arona Gran hotel. From Los Crisitanos port, there are ferry and catamaran connections to neighbouring islands such as La Gomera, which is you could visit for a day and experience the contrast to Tenerife.
In Arona there is a diverse choice of sports, with two golf courses and watersports widely available.

Guía de Isora

Guía de Isora is on the opposite tip of the island from Santa Cruz. It is a well-known farming centre producing tomatoes and bananas as the main crops. Water sports, fishing and spear fishing are available at the beaches of San Juan and Alcalá If you take a trip up to Las Cañadas del Teide from Guía de Isora, you will get some magnificent views from the look-out points. They will give you an idea of the charm of the landscape in the south of Tenerife.  The new five star Abama is located here, away from the bustle of the busier resorts but easily accessible for that bit of retail therapy!

Vilaflor

Vilaflor de Chasna, of which records exist since the 16th century, has historically been the destination of many scientists, sufferers of ill-health and other visitors, who made the journey from La Orotava along the famous Camino de Chasna trail. Their reasons for visiting Vilaflor may have included its scientific interest or its closeness to Teide, or simply the benefits of its climate or the pleasant tranquillity of its surroundings whatever their reasons, we have selected two properties in this area for those wishing to experience a more relaxed atmosphere and get a feel for another side of Tenerife.
Vilaflor, at over 1,400 metres above sea level, is immersed in pine forests and almond groves. The area is ideal for walking, climbing, mountain biking and paragliding. In addition, there are features of immense natural importance, such as Pino Gordo or Tres Pernadas. The village is also famous for its exquisite gastronomy and its wines.

Puerto de la Cruz

Situated on the northern coast of the island, at the foot of El Teide, Puerto de la Cruz offers its visitors a cosmopolitan town which, after a century of tourism, still retains much of its old charm , architecture and character. We have a couple of hotels here that are excellent they are both fairly traditional and offer first class standards in their category.
It is has extensive and beautiful parks and there are hints and small typical areas in the old town that represent the small fishing village that it once was. The streets of Puerto de la Cruz are constantly bustling with activity, with a leisurely atmosphere and there is some excellent shopping and choice of restaurants here too!
There is also the Botanical Gardens, with species of plants from all five continents; Casino Taoro, which towers over the town from its high vantage point, or Loro Parque (see our What to do page) , all of which are worth a visit.  There is so much in this lovely area that our excellent team on the island will be able to advise you personally on what you may prefer to do.
