Adults-Only Hotels in Teneriffa

Adults-Only Hotels in Tenerife — The Most Versatile Canary Island

Tenerife has the highest mountain in Spain (Teide, 3,718m), the oldest university in the Canaries, a Michelin-starred dining scene and whale watching right off the coast — all on an island smaller than Greater London. For adults, Tenerife is the Canary Island with the widest range: from urban and cosmopolitan to wild and secluded, all reachable within an hour's drive.

In Tenerife, Adults Oasis curates hotels that reflect this diversity: luxury resorts on the Costa Adeje, boutique hotels in La Orotava and country houses among the vineyards of the north.

Tenerife for Adults

Costa Adeje in the southwest is Tenerife's premium zone: luxury hotels, fine dining and the island's best beaches. This is where the boat trips to dolphins and pilot whales set off.

The north (Puerto de la Cruz, La Orotava, Icod de los Vinos) is green, authentic and full of culture. The botanical garden, the dragon trees and the wine culture of the Orotava Valley make the north a favourite for culturally minded adults.

The Teide National Park is the highlight: a lunar landscape at 2,000m, starry skies (UNESCO Starlight Reserve) and a cable car to the summit.

Tenerife Tips

• When to go: Year-round. The south is always sunny, the north greener and a little cooler — both have their charm.
• Cuisine: 7 Michelin restaurants, plus local Guachinches (improvised wine taverns) in the north — Tenerife's food scene is booming.
• Activities: Whale watching, the Teide hike, the Anaga laurel forest, the wine route in the north.
• Combination: Tenerife can be paired with Gran Canaria by ferry — the crossing takes just 1 hour.
