Wellness Facilities

Spas and wellness facilities throughout Tenerife utilize local ingredients in various treatments from herbs and seaweed to sand and volcanic stones. Opened in spring 2024, Sandára Wellness & Spa offers a range of luxurious treatments including a volcanic stone massage and wine infusion bath. Bahia del Duque’s wellness program focuses on physical, mental and emotional wellbeing through personalized experiences. Hotel Botánico’s The Oriental Spa Garden offers an array of luxurious spa treatments.

 

Hiking Excursions

Hiking is a popular wellness activity year-round due to Tenerife’s temperate climate. Popular hiking locations include Mount Teide National Park, Masca and Anaga Rural Park. These locations enforce visitation caps to prevent overtourism. Keep this in mind when planning your trip.

Natural Pools

Tenerife’s natural pools were formed by volcanic activity. Be sure not to miss popular pools BajamarCharco de la Laja and Charco del Viento on the island’s northern coast. The picturesque locations and temperate waters make for a perfect, year-round wellness activity.

 

Stargazing Opportunities

Mount Teide National Park is internationally recognized as a prime stargazing location, thanks in part to minimal light pollution. Here, visitors may witness the rings of Saturn, the moon’s craters and far-off galaxies. The park recently achieved Starlight Certification.
