There’s no destination more inclined to romance than Tenerife, and not only for geographic reasons. The largest of the Canary Islands has everything you could ask for in a holiday or romantic getaway: reliable good weather, diverse landscapes, hotels designed for unwinding and reconnecting, and plenty of ways to have fun together. So it doesn’t matter what you and your partner are like. Your preferences don’t matter, your hobbies, or how you live your relationship. In Tenerife, there are plans for everyone.
Good as new—that’s how you’ll return from your beach holiday at Iberostar Selection Sábila. This hotel in Costa Adeje, newly rated 5 stars, is a luxury haven in southern Tenerife crafted for relaxation and sensory stimulation. Discover everything this adults-only hotel has in store for you.
For the indulgent
Treating yourself isn’t about age; it’s a holiday mindset. If you and your loved one see a getaway as the time to enjoy a few privileges, Tenerife is your destination. Especially at hotels like Iberostar Waves Bouganville Playa and Iberostar Selection Sábila, where the exclusive Star Prestige area ensures that sunsets, refreshing dips in the pool, champagne toasts, and long nights come with the intimate atmosphere of Star Prestige service.
For trend hunters
If you love shopping together or sharing a passion for the latest fashion and accessories, Tenerife won’t disappoint with its blend of exclusivity, authenticity, and surprising prices. You’ll find the top brands and boutiques in Costa Adeje, where Avenida de Las Américas has become the archipelago’s home of luxury. Meanwhile, La Laguna and Tegueste host markets and boutiques where you can pick up local-inspired crafts or jewelry to give your looks a distinctive twist. And what better than staying at a luxury hotel in Tenerife such as Iberostar Heritage Grand Mencey, which for six decades has brought elegance and refined taste to the stays of distinguished guests.
For surfers
If you think of the beach not as a carpet of sand to lie on but as the place where waves crumble after being tamed, Tenerife is calling. Especially El Médano, a beach at the foot of a dormant volcano that, besides being beautiful, has become the mecca of water sports. In other words, the perfect coordinates to slip into a wetsuit—or just your swimsuit—and let the winds and tides carry you.
For adventurers
This island is home to Mount Teide, Spain’s highest peak, and the shortest straight-line distance between it and the sea is just over 30 kilometers. In other words, you’re looking at one of the world’s most dramatic terrains. If you’re the kind of couple who need very little excuse to lace up your boots and hit the trail, this is your paradise. The options are endless, from Anaga’s laurel forests to the dramatic ravines of Masca, though Teide National Park has a special magnetism thanks to its dozens of routes across lunar landscapes and pine forests.
For sailors
If what you’re after is to sway to the rhythm of the Atlantic waters and discover a unique, intimate view of Tenerife, you’ll want a sailboat or a small boat. The island offers several marinas, but for the geological spectacles and wildlife sightings at Los Gigantes, this is always the top choice. On a short cruise, with or without a skipper, you can befriend whales and dolphins or admire up close the immensity of the archipelago’s highest cliffs.
For lovers of great food
In recent years, Tenerife has become one of the islands most committed to gastronomy. It’s an irresistible status that draws foodie couples from around the world like you. The case is compelling: from five Michelin stars to a wide range of wine appellations. Above all, it showcases an avant-garde with deep roots, blending local “chicharrero” flavors with modern recipes and products at temples like El Cenador, at Aborigen, at Poseidón, or by savoring native produce at the gastronomic market of the Iberostar Selection Sábila hotel.
