Off-season Sunshine in Tenerife

05 September 2022

As we reach the end of the summer season, the question is ‘where to go for some much-needed off season sunshine?’. The perennial spring-like climate of Tenerife makes it ideal for an island retreat at any time of year, and with prime beachfront locations, these two properties at the Royal Hideaway, one adult-only and the other welcoming families, could be well-suited to your next getaway.

Royal Hideaway Corales Beach (Adult only)

The adult-only property at the Royal Hideaway (a resort it shares with the family-friendly Corales Suites), draws its design influence from the surrounding seas with an aesthetic inspired by ocean liners. It combines the hedonistic joys of Michelin-starred cuisine, a sleek spa with holistic and Ayurvedic treatments, a rooftop infinity pool with sweeping Atlantic views, and extensive fitness offerings including yoga, dance classes and a running club.

Set in expansive gardens in Costa Adeje on Tenerife’s south coast, just a 20-minute transfer from the airport, it has ultra-contemporary, mainly white suites with terraces with Atlantic views. Some also have outdoor hot tubs.

Nearby you can discover volcanic Teide National Park, the award-winning Siam Park Water Park, Playa del Duque beach, La Caleta village, the cliffs of Los Gigantes, water-sports centres, hiking spots and five golf courses. The concierge can help you out with these and with the resort’s ‘Royal Experiences’ including diving in El Hierro and helicopter flights over the volcano.
