All-inclusive hotels in Tenerife for total holiday immersion

Take time out on the shores of the Atlantic when you stay at Iberostar Selection Anthelia. This all-inclusive oasis is just 10 minutes from the beach and surrounded by private gardens. Dip into one of the six pools before being pampered in the resort’s Wellness Area – you’ll find any remaining tension slipping away during a rhythmic Hawaiian Lomi Lomi massage.

Sea View Double rooms are classically Canarian, with cool white interiors and balcony furniture to match. Slip into your bathrobe and slippers, sink into the double bed and catch up with a show on the Smart TV. Alternatively, make the most of the last rays of the sun with a bottle of Pinot Grigio on the balcony.

Celebrating a special occasion? Dine for two at the Poseidón restaurant – with the bill already taken care of, you can relax and immerse yourself in the experience. The menu of gourmet treats includes fresh seafood dishes such as red-banded sea bream with parsnip purée, sautéed artichokes and grapefruit glaze.

At Hotel Roca Nivaria you have the soft sands of the beach moments away and the amenities of a five-star, all-inclusive stay on your doorstep. Kids can let loose at the Mini Club with resort mascot Roni, and the fun extends to the Garoeé restaurant, where little marauders can select dishes from their own pirate-ship buffet.

Meanwhile, adults can peruse the ever-so-tempting grown-up selection of seafood dishes. Dine on the terrace for panoramic sea views and the last of the Spanish sun. The hotel’s Belingo Club welcomes the whole family for a disco and live dance shows (along with sangria, already taken care of in your all-inclusive package).

Rooms are welcoming and elegantly decorated with tonal palettes of blues and whites, reminiscent of the sea visible from most balconies. Start each morning sipping an Americano snuggled up in your complimentary robe and slippers.

Sit out on the balcony of your room at H10 Conquistador and feel the fresh breeze rolling in from the Atlantic. On the Playa de las Americas seafront, with direct access to the promenade, this four-star resort allows you to meander from sunbathing on the beach to lounging on your soft double bed in moments. Refresh from a day in the sun with you room’s complimentary Earth Collection toiletries.

Take a moment in the Turkish bath at the hotel’s Despacio spa before releasing any further tension in the Thalasso Centre. The warm pools use seawater to gently ease your muscles and your mind. Up for some thrills instead? Thai-themed Siam Waterpark is just a 10-minute drive from the property.

Have dinner with a show at the Senses Restaurant – you’ll feast on a five-course menu while watching cabaret-style dance acts. The night goes on at Drago bar. Take a seat and order a mojito while the house band sets a relaxed mood.

You can cool off from the balmy Tenerife heat in one of five pools at Hotel Paradise Park. Sit up on the rocks of the adults-only natural pool before dipping back into the refreshing waters, then retire to your sun lounger. The spa takes relaxation one step further. Step into the therapeutic Scottish shower or pamper mind and body in the Roman baths. Come together for a couples massage made even sweeter with a glass of fizz.

You needn’t stray far from the pool area for a bite. The Atlantic Bar is steps away and serves up appetite-appeasing classics, such as stacked burgers and chunky chips. After hours, you can return to find live music and entertainment.

Indulge with a suite that looks out over the sea and the glittering town of Los Cristianos. Make the most of the space and spread out on your sofa or cook up a snack in your own kitchen. Each morning, you can throw open your bedroom’s balcony doors to let the morning sun stream in.

Tucked away in the mountains in Puerto de la Cruz and overlooking the volcanic beaches of the town below Las Águilas offers pure serenity. An all-suite hotel, this place is a luxurious option for a couples getaway. Check in and slip into your hydro-massage bathtub before catching the sea breeze on your terrace.

Get a taste for local flavours in the Amaltea buffet restaurant. Options include succulent grilled meats to fresh fish dishes – all included in your break. For evening drinks, take a seat on the terrace by the pool in the Mirador bar and sip a chardonnay as the sun goes down.

During the evenings there’s entertainment in the Vulcano bar – check the programme for live music and dance shows. By day, you’re free to lounge by one of the three pools. If you feel like exploring further, the Mount Teide National Park, with a cable car up to the volcano, is under an hour away.

Take time out together at Iberostar Selection Sábila. This adults-only, five-star resort has 600 square metres of spa space to explore – book in at SPA Sensations and make the most of the steam room or sauna. The soothing treatment list here includes hot-stone therapy, which uses heat to release toxins from your body.

Rooms inspire a sense of luxury with modern floral feature walls adding colour to the cool white palette. Each space has a balcony for you to unwind on after a day by one of the pools – the hotel has three. Snuggle into your complimentary bathrobe and set the mood by streaming your favourite track on the smart TV.

When you’re ready for dinner, head to the Gourmet Market. Try as many traditional tapas dishes as you like from the all-inclusive menu, such as tender seasoned meat skewers and Spanish tortillas. Live music and peaceful Atlantic views seal the deal.

With Troya beach a mere 15-minute walk away and Fañabé, Torviscas or El Duque beaches all within easy reach, you’re spoilt for choice at Hotel Olé Tropical. This resort’s excellent location also puts you close to bars, restaurants, shopping centres and water parks. Pay attention, golf lovers – the 18-hole Golf Las Americas is just a 4-minute drive to the south.

Stroll through the hotel’s manicured gardens to find the pool and sunbathing area, served by the outdoor Palapa Bar. You can refresh after a dip with a juicy lemonade or cool off with an ice cream. Prefer your favourite cocktail? Head to the bar and have drinks such as classic Cosmopolitans shaken in front of you.

Stay in a suite or family room to take advantage of a spacious sitting area kitted out in soothing neutral tones. All rooms have balconies, with some offering views of the sparkling Atlantic Ocean.

Escape to the sunshine coast with the family at Iberostar Las Dalias in Costa Adeje. There’s no shortage of entertainment, from evening dance shows to live cooking in the Danae restaurant. Themed nights mean you can watch the chef cook up dishes from around the world such as spicy enchiladas and fragrant beef teppanyaki.

Kids can make memories at Star Camp, where they’ll take part in thrilling zombie chases and work together to solve puzzles in escape rooms. Meanwhile, grown-ups get a spot of pampering in the beauty salon. Book in for a deep-tissue massage or a rejuvenating facial. Or, try some retail therapy – the open-air San Eugenio shopping centre is just a 3-minute walk from your hotel and is home to plenty of high-street outlets.

Interconnecting spaces in family rooms mean everyone can stay together but still have a little privacy. Gather everyone for a game of cards – with a view of the Atlantic – on your balcony.

Dance the night away at Rocky’s Disco at Park Club Europe Hotel. A lively spot for a break with the girls, the all-inclusive Playa de las Americas resort has several bars serving up freshly shaken cocktails and chilled wine. Grab your favourite tipple and catch up by the pool.

Dinner is served in the La Gavina restaurant, where you can sit out on the terrace to catch the last rays of sunshine surrounded by tropical foliage. The menu includes a seasonal grill – think dishes made up of juicy meat and fresh vegetables. Alternatively, grab a pizza cooked in the woodfired oven.

Let any remaining cares slip away in the spa. Sit in the sauna or delight your senses with a dip into the steam bath. Upstairs, your room awaits for a well-deserved siesta. You’ll find it decorated with plush scatter cushions that add a bold pop of colour to the calming neutral interior.
