10 of the Best Luxury Hotels in the Canary Islands

The Canary Islands may be best-known for sea, sun and package-holiday resorts. But they also make a fine destination for people who are seeking holidays with that little bit extra. Whether that means hideaway romantic places, top-quality restaurants, extra-large suites, pampering spas or all-action hotels with a raft of sports and leisure activities on-site, these needs can be met by the best luxury hotels in the Canary Islands. Some hotels are adults-only, such as the chic Lani’s Suites de Luxe on Lanzarote and the Red Level Gran Melia Palacio de Isora on Tenerife. The latter also offers private butlers as does Paradisus Salinas on Lanzarote.

Design-junkies will appreciate the Baobab Suites on Tenerife with their cutting-edge cool interiors while guests at the beachfront Secrets Bahia Real Resort & Spa on Fuerteventura have no need to leave the resort, with its six restaurants, vast spa and watery activities. And if you’re after romance, take a look at the beach-front Grand Hotel Residencia on Gran Canaria with its hacienda-style rooms.

There's just a small taster here in our Guru's list of the best luxury hotels in the Canary Islands. For full listings for each destination, simply click the link.

The Most Luxurious Hotels on Lanzarote

There’s adults-only relaxation at the beachfront Lani’s Suites de Luxe with its chic styling. Suites are white-on-white with pops of jewel colours, some with private plunge-pools.
The Paradisus Salinas, on Costa Teguise, is a sprawling resort with a VIP area boating suites with private butlers and sunken baths. Set amongst lush gardens, there are plenty of on-site activities, several bars as well as a large pool and various dining options. Plus it's recommended adults only.
For a luxury family beach holiday book the Princesa Yaiza Suite Resort Hotel. Elegant all suite accommodation, eight restaurants, six pools, five minutes walk from the beach and on site children's clubs - it's perfect!

Tenerife's Best Luxury Hotels

For something slightly off the tourist trail, book the Hacienda del Conde. It's located at the quiet north western end of the island and is not as big as most resort hotels. But it has great facilities including a Seve Ballesteros designed golf course, swimming pools and choice of restaurants.
With its infinity pool, beachfront position and butler service, you will want for very little at the adults-only Red Level Gran Melia Palacio de Isora. Rooms are chic and stylish in white-on-white, some with private pools.
Nestled into the lesser travelled North coast of Tenerife, Jardin de la Paz offers luxury ocean facing apartments and villas. The villas are beautifully decorated and fitted with fully equipped kitchens. Luxuriate by one of the lovely swimming pools or lounge in the exotic garden.

The stylish and family friendly Baobab Suites, by the sea just outside Costa Adeje, offer cutting-edge cool, private pools and the option of self-catering.
Roca Nivaria provides five star luxury for families. There's all the facilities you'd expect plus kids' clubs, mini golf, playground and much more.
