Unwind in style in Puerto de la Cruz
Planning a trip to Tenerife and only the best will do? Look no further than the five-star Hotel Botánico and The Oriental Spa Garden. It’s been part of The Leading Hotels of The World group since 1998, so it’s safe to say they know a thing or two about the perfect holiday. The location is pretty ideal, too – it’s right next door to the island’s famous Botanical Gardens. Fancy a beach day? Take the 20-minute stroll to Playa de Martiánez or hop on the hotel’s free shuttle bus, which will whisk you to the sand or the centre of town.
Back at the hotel, days revolve around the water. Go for a swim in the main pool, which is edged by cotton-white parasols, while little ones enjoy the kids’ pool. There’s a snack bar on hand for drinks and light bites during the day, too. You’ll find another pool set in the sub-tropical gardens over at the adults-only spa area – it comes with in-water loungers with massage jets for added pampering.
Take relaxation one step further with a visit to the award-winning spa. The Oriental Spa Garden plays host to not only your average sauna, steam room, and indoor pool, but also has an ice temple, experience showers, and a lavender-scented aromatherapy room. You can book yourself in for luxurious treatments, too – think rose facials, chocolate body wraps, and open-air massages in the gardens.
If that sounds too slow paced, turn up the pace of your holiday with a workout at the hotel’s gym, a match on the tennis court, or a game of golf on the hotel’s 18-hole putting green. You can also get involved in the likes of cocktail making and flower arranging sessions, or try a yoga or Pilates class. You’ve also got six acres of sub-tropical gardens to wander around. Children, meanwhile, will be kept busy at the hotel-run kids’ club, which runs a programme of little one-approved activities.
Foodies, get ready. The restaurants at this hotel come highly recommended. Start your day at the Palmera Real, where you can tuck into an al fresco breakfast buffet, or enjoy dishes from the international lunch menu. Then you’ve got the three à la carte eateries to choose from. The Slim Restaurant offers a health-conscious menu inspired by the Brittany region, while the other two restaurants serve up delicious Italian and Oriental food. And for evening drinks and live music, the Hall Bar has got you covered.
