Boutique hotels in Tenerife Island 18 Boutique hotels

Welcome to Tenerife – a resort in Spain like no other

Located in the Atlantic Ocean, the charming island resort of Tenerife lies in between Gran Canaria and La Palma, both popular destinations in their own right for much of the last century. Part of the Canary Islands archipelago, Tenerife is known for its good hotel accommodation. Along with standard hotels that you can find virtually anywhere on a map of the Canaries, Tenerife benefits from numerous luxury hotels. Hotel rooms in boutique establishments tend to have a more contemporary design vibe, but you can find upmarket hotels that are much more traditional, too. Some of them date back a century or more and are quite historic. That said, modern facilities and design touches will be noticeable throughout any rooms or suites on the island that are part of a boutique hotel. Whether you want one room for you and your partner, perhaps for a honeymoon vacation, or you are booking several hotel rooms in one go for a family beach holiday, you'll find exactly what you are looking for from among the many luxury hotels and villas on the island.

What makes a boutique hotel a good idea in Tenerife?

Whether you want sea views from your room, a top-quality guest pool, or a charming restaurant to dine in after a relaxing day in your chosen resort, boutique hotels offer a bit more quality than regular ones. Traditional hotels may be welcoming, but contemporary luxury establishments tend to offer more, not least because of better room layouts and design touches. Typically, there will be a garden you can explore. You might find that the hotel's private garden leads to the pool or down to the beach, meaning your hotel will be something of a resort in its own right. As a guest, this can be very compelling since the exclusive nature of such resort hotels means you can often enjoy them in a more serene manner than would be possible elsewhere. In addition, guest rooms in boutique hotels in Spain tend to offer spa facilities you can use. The best ones include a spa treatment or two within the price of your room, where you can expect royal treatment, but check exactly what is on offer before you commit to your set vacation dates and book rooms or suites. Overall, though, you can enjoy a spa boutique hotel wherever on the map of Tenerife you are located because there is a luxury resort at almost every turn on this charming and historic island.

Where should you book a hotel in Tenerife?

One look at the Tenerife map will tell you that hotels of any rating will be close to the ocean, often set in a charming bay with a long stretch of beach to explore. Boutique hotels tend to enjoy the best locations and the price per night will often reflect this simple fact. It can be worth paying the extra EUR or USD, depending on your preferred currency, however. From San Miguel de Tajao in the east to Playa San Juan in the west, there are numerous great hotel options. In the north of Tenerife, the urban area of San Cristóbal de La Laguna offers an alternative to the many beach-fronted hotels on the island. If you're looking for a sea view in the north, then check out San Andres or Santa Cruz. In the island's south, a resort such as El Beril or La Caleta, close to the port city of Los Cristianos, will yield plenty of choices for those seeking luxury. Garachico is another resort worth considering. Known for its exclusive hotels and sense of style, the rating of each hotel in this part of the island is utterly justified. Situated in the south, a little inland from the main beach resort towns is Adeje. Offering accommodation fit for any royal personage, Adeje is not far from Abama, a golfing resort that overlooks the sea with superb views over the ocean to the south. Note that each coast, or costa, in Tenerife has its own style. Even if you can't book your preferred hotel on one costa, look a little further on the map because you're likely to find something just as luxurious and similar.

When should you book a stay in Tenerife for a memorable island vacation?

If you want to book a guest room at a boutique hotel with a top rating, then all of the Canary Islands see their high season, like the rest of Spain, in the summer. From June to late August, the asking price for hotel rooms and suites throughout the island - in the north, east, south, or west of the map - will be at its highest. In places like San Cristóbal de La Laguna, you can still find luxury at an affordable price during these dates, however. The price per room goes up again during the festive season, so avoid these dates if you want to find a boutique hotel in a traditional resort by the sea at a lower-than-usual price. Every guest room in Tenerife will usually see an upturn in pricing over Easter since hotel rooms tend to get booked in advance over these dates. Note that sometimes EUR to USD exchange rates can also affect the price of a room in Tenerife, but this won't often affect your preferred dates since EUR / USD trading is relatively stable.

What makes a charming Tenerife boutique guest room booking worth the extra?

Not only will the star rating of a boutique hotel be higher than a standard guest room but staying in a luxury hotel will usually mean better facilities for each and every guest to enjoy. Some boutique hotels have private villas, some of which benefit from private pools or their own garden area. Even if you stay in the main hotel, there will probably be a choice of pools, some for children and others devoted to adults. If you're a guest in a Tenerife hotel, then you can also expect to stay in the most upmarket part of the resort with contemporary bars, eateries, and the best places of entertainment. Often, this fact alone makes the extra price of a boutique hotel worth paying no matter where they are located on the island. With a four or five-star rating, most Tenerife boutique resort hotels also offer direct beach access and safe seawater to swim in. In short, whether you're paying for your hotel rooms in EUR or any other currency, the superior rating, design aesthetics, and exclusive locations often make them well worth it. And if you want an even more exclusive stay for your EUR spend, then why not book one of the many private rental villas in Tenerife? With many guest rooms, you could even pool your resources with friends and family to rent one of the larger, more luxurious, and contemporary villas in the Canary Islands. The best ones in Tenerife offer sea views - just like the best boutique hotel rooms - but also afford more privacy and room to spread your wings.
