Tenerife's 9 most beautiful hotels

Tenerife is one of the most popular tourist islands in the Canary archipelago. Surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean, it is a holiday destination of choice thanks to its beaches, attractions and magnificent hotels. Visitors can choose from a variety of upmarket and downmarket accommodation options, ranging from small beach huts to five-star resorts and private villas. From every corner of the volcanic island, you can see the ocean, rugged terrain and sometimes even majestic volcanoes. Most hotels offer leisure facilities such as spas, wonderful swimming pools and gourmet restaurants. Some also offer children's activities, sports clubs and special events for tourists. A holiday in Tenerife is a chance to indulge yourself and treat yourself to a top-of-the-range stay, just a stone's throw from Europe's most beautiful beaches.
