Tenerife is truly an island full of possibilities when it comes to diversity in terms of luxury accommodation. Tenerife is ideal for celebrating anniversaries, wedding celebrations or blessings and of course...honeymoons. If you're visiting Tenerife in winter and you're looking for (almost) guaranteed sunshine, we recommend booking a hotel or a place in the south. But if you're into hiking or if you're visiting Tenerife in summer, the north of the island has equally beautiful weather, plus it's greener and has lots of fantastic landscapes and hiking trails. 

Tenerife South is the main tourist area, where the big resorts like Playa de Las Americas and Costa Adeje are located, plus one of the island's main attractions: Siam Park. 

Although Tenerife is not often regarded as a top destination for luxury holidays, the truth is that nowadays you have plenty of choices when it comes to luxury accommodations and complimentary hospitality services. The Royal Hideaway Corales Beach hotel by Barcelo is one of the more recently open 5 stars hotels in Tenerife, which is a sign that the island is moving up, in order to fulfill the demand for premium services.

There are also some spectacular villas in Tenerife and the most amazing ones are up in the north, where the more residential areas are located.

During these difficult times, with the ongoing pandemic, the demand for private villas and apartments has risen, since these are viewed as being safer than a hotel, where there are many people sharing the same facilities. And this is where Tenerife becomes an attractive destination for travelers looking for comfort and some luxury since the island's tourism offer is not only based on hotels, but also on private holiday rentals. Management companies for premium villas offer all sorts of services that you may require, from airport transfers to car rental or private chefs who can cater to your specific requirements.

Tenerife is today one of the safest destinations to travel to during these troubled times, so if you're looking for a beach and winter sun destination, look no further.
