Read more about A la Carte

Surrounded by Tenerife’s rugged countryside and overlooking the sea, the Hotel RIU Arecas is in a picture-postcard spot.
Set on the coast of Costa Adeje, this hotel makes a grand first impression. The huge cruise liner-shaped building cuts a fine figure against a background of the Adeje Mountains and the foreground of the Atlantic Ocean. And, in the lobby, shiny walnut-style floors and wrought-iron chandeliers set the tone. The bedrooms, meanwhile, are really spacious, and come with quality wooden furniture, like you’d have at home.

Outside, there are two large pools to choose from. They’re both surrounded by sunloungers and parasols, so there are plenty of spots for sunbathing. When you want a change of scene, the hotel’s sculpted gardens are great for wandering through.

As far as the after-dusk scene is concerned, evenings at the hotel are laid-back and sophisticated. You’re encouraged to dress for dinner in the main restaurant, which serves everything from fresh salmon and mussels to roast beef. There’s even a cheese board section, with regional and international cheeses. Later, the hotel puts on evening entertainment including fashion shows and circus acts.

Lastly, exploring is easy when you stay here. You’re only a five-minute taxi ride from the fishing village of La Caleta, where you’ll find plenty of bars and restaurants.

Your guide to Costa Adeje, Tenerife

“Stylish and serene, Costa Adeje is simply irresistible.”

If coming to Tenerife to simply chill out in peaceful surroundings sounds like your kind of holiday, Costa Adeje hits the nail right on the head. Forget high-rises and neon strips, Costa Adeje is life on the quiet side. Newly built, up-market and oozing tranquillity, this charming town spreads out from the glittering sands of the famous El Duque Beach. Here you can lie back on the sugary-soft shores or get to grips with some fantastic watersports. Sprinkled with exclusive shops, chic restaurants and luxurious 5-star hotels, this destination really knows how to spoil its guests. Pop into one of the panache boutiques and treat yourself to a stylish outfit that no one will have back home. Or why not head to bustling Playa De Las Americas or to the island's capital city, Santa Cruz, where you’ll be in retail heaven? After dark, work up an appetite with a moonlit stroll along the promenade, and when the enticing aromas from the many inviting eateries gets all too much go and tuck into a traditional Canaries dish or two. End a perfect day relaxing at a beachfront table with a bottle of wine, as you listen to the soothing sounds of the Atlantic waves crashing on the sand. Bliss.
