Subtropical spa resort
Lush botanical grounds in northern Tenerife house an expansive thermal bathhouse surrounded by heated outdoor pools.
What it’s good at
Remarkable
The Oriental Spa Garden with outdoor thermal circuits and thirty treatment practitioners.
Notable
A twenty-five-thousand-square-metre garden campus with tennis courts and a golf driving range.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
The historic Botanical Garden sits right next door in La Paz, and the Atlantic coast is ten minutes downhill.
The rooms
Balconies look out toward Mount Teide or the sea, and Italian marble finishes the spacious bathrooms.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The main heated pool rests among tall palms and lawns, facing an ornate wooden Thai pagoda.
The thermal baths
Two heated thermal pools have hydromassage jets, and the tiled indoor bathhouse holds a Turkish hammam.
The indoor pool
A heated indoor pool sits under a vaulted timber ceiling and central skylight within the spa.
Dogs stay too.
At the table
Bar Hall serves evening cocktails beside live piano music, and dinner tables line an enclosed wood-framed veranda.
How it began
The Kiessling family acquired the 1974 hotel in 1995, expanding its grounds into twenty-five thousand square metres of subtropical gardens.

The eight vibes

Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.
Luxe
Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local
It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.
Social
Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.
Heritage
A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Central
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Secluded
A place apart: the property is the destination.
