Best holiday resorts for families with children
Playa de las Américas and Costa Adeje on the southwest coast are the two best holiday resorts for families with children. Both offering numerous activities, excellent beaches and family-friendly hotels. One of the most popular hotels is Hovima La Pinta Beachfront, located right next to a very child-friendly beach. The hotel has great indoor and outdoor playgrounds, a fun splash zone and a whole lot of other activities.

If you prefer a quieter, more luxurious holiday resort, we recommend the 5-star H10 Atlantic Sunset in the small resort town of Playa Paraíso, located north of Playa de las Américas. Among many other facilities, this fantastic hotel offers seven heated swimming pools, a beautiful water park, a large spa, a modern fitness center and a wide range of restaurants. You can find more information on the hotel’s page. Additionally, the hotel provides a free shuttle bus to Playa de las Américas.

Best holiday resort for adult couples
Couples looking to stay in a lively holiday resort with great shopping, a wide range of restaurants and numerous options for an evening drink should choose Playa de las Américas. The 4-star H10 Conquistador is perfectly located close to both the city center and the beaches. The hotel features a large pool area, four restaurants, a fitness center and a delightful spa with a jacuzzi and various treatments. At the top of the hotel, there is a sun terrace with panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean.

Puerto de la Cruz also offers a lot, but with a slightly slower pace. The resort features an authentic Canarian district with charming small houses and meticulously arranged flowers. Several of Tenerife’s best restaurants are also located here, and Puerto de la Cruz boasts the impressive Lago Martiánez pool complex. The hotel DWO Nopal is perfect for couples looking to enjoy a tranquil holiday. Here, you can start your day with breakfast on the rooftop terrace overlooking Mount Teide.

Golf holiday in Tenerife
Tenerife is not only popular among sun-seeking Brits but also among professional golfers on the European tour, who have visited the island several times. The golf courses Golf Del Sur, Adeje, and Abama have hosted many events. The legendary golfer Severiano Ballesteros also designed a golf course on Tenerife: Buenavista Golf, located in the northwest part of the island.

You’ll find the perfect golf vacation at the 5-star The Ritz-Carlton Abama, which boasts its own amazing golf course, 7 swimming pools, 2 Michelin-starred restaurants and a beautiful beach. Highly recommended.
