Set on a beautiful beach in southern Tenerife, this member of Leading Hotels of the World is a magnificent five star resort with an impressive range of facilities, accommodation and restaurants.
More akin to a picturesque turn of the century Canarian village than a hotel, Venetian and Victorian influences are pronounced in its design. Each of the stunning buildings is surrounded by tropical gardens overlooking the ocean. In keeping with the unique nature of the hotel, staff wear traditional period costume, creating a wonderful old fashioned atmosphere.
There is nothing old fashioned about the standard of comfort in the rooms and suites. Traditional yet simple decorative themes, typical Spanish tiles and luxurious touches are to be found throughout. For those after even greater exclusivity, Las Casas Ducales, or The Manor House, is almost an hotel within an hotel and offers a separate reception, butler service and a host of additional amenities such as an open bar in the lobby and daily newspapers in every room.
For ultimate luxury, Las Villas offers an exclusive area with 40 fabulous villas boasting private pools, Jacuzzis and baths made from basalt stone and luxurious bathroom goodies courtesy of Aqua di Parma.
With no less than eight restaurants and nine bars serving a kaleidoscopic range of cuisine, from Mexican to French fare, guests are spoilt for choice. Even the most demanding tastes are fulfilled at Las Aguas under the prestigious Canarian chef Braulio Simancas.
Not surprisingly in such an imaginative hotel, the five swimming pools are exceptional. Behind the central fountain plaza, five tiered swimming pools cascade down a slope creating a scene of dramatic visual impact. Land based activities include tennis, squash, beach volleyball, archery, croquet, darts, ping pong, mountain biking, dance lessons and golf nearby. Water sports fans can enjoy sailing trips, jet-skiing, diving, windsurfing and deep-sea fishing. Even the smallest members of the family are superbly catered for at the dedicated mini-club which has its own pool and playground.
The magnificent Spa Bahia del Duque unites the legendary service of this fabulous hotel with the expertise of the acclaimed ESPA spa therapists. The spa is said to be the ultimate spa retreat for the Canary Islands and comprises 3,500 square metres over three levels cleverly mixing indoor and outdoor spaces.
With the world-class spa and every activity imaginable, the hardest choice facing guests is just how long to stay in this magical resort.
