Tenerife
Royal River
Defying the mainstream, this resort fuses design-led thinking, out-of-the-box poolscaping and a splash of safari to create a concoction that is unlike anything we’ve seen on Tenerife’s shores.

Comprehensive doesn’t even come close to describing this pastel pink resort. Complete with streets and squares and twirling turrets, it feels more like a fairy tale town.

Comprehensive doesn’t even come close to describing this pastel pink resort. Complete with streets and squares and twirling turrets, it feels more like a fairy tale town.
It’s strange, how a place modelled on a 19th century Spanish colonial village can feel intimate, yet somehow Bahía del Duque manages. One of Tenerife’s original luxury resorts, they’ve hit the sweet spot with a whimsical crowd-pleasing escape that doesn’t sacrifice on individualised service.
Expect to leave on a first name basis with most of the charming staff and feeling like you’ve discovered a home-away-from-home on the shores of the Atlantic.

A sense of
place
Quick airport transfers, easy beach access, strolling distance of nearby shopping and just ten minutes from two golf courses mean Bahía often tops the list for best location in south Tenerife. Inside the resort, things are just as carefully considered. When setting out to create something so vast, designer Pascua Ortega divided its accommodation into
three distinct areas: vibrant rooms and suites, a horseshoe of exclusive Casas Ducales congregated around the pools, and finally, tucked away behind their own reception, Las Villas offer the utmost privacy.
Its essence...
Canarian
Charming
Comprehensive
In pursuit of...
…an authentic Canarian experience
Everything here is an ode to Spain’s cultural and historical heritage. Each turreted, turmeric-hued building represents an architectural landmark from the country’s past. While in the reception, traditionally suited-and-booted bellboys buzz around greeting new arrivals with broad smiles, eager to ensure a seamless taste of customary Canarian life while maintaining the hotel’s world-class status.
On location
Similar to a real village, there’s no shortage of bar or restaurant options – a dizzying 21 in fact – staving off the potential monotony that may accompany browsing the same menu each night. For succulent sole meunière and silky lobster risotto, La Brasserie boasts views across the pool and a menu curated by double Michelin-starred Chef Pierre Résimont. Elsewhere the beach club offers laid-back lunches on its tangerine-stained terrace over the ocean.
One of Tenerife’s original luxury resorts, they’ve hit the sweet spot with a crowd-pleasing escape that doesn’t sacrifice on individualised service.
Beyond
family-friendly
No child-friendly stone is left unturned here. Five pools for family splashing sessions strategically dotted throughout the resort, and enthusiastic entertainers at the kids’ club leading treasure hunts around Bahía’s paths and bridges, leaves no time for boredom.
And, when all the playing is over and a good pamper session is in order, the range of petite wellness rituals in the spa mean little ones can experience their first massage while parents, or grandparents, cherish a long overdue one.
A Carrier
curation
An under-the-radar whale watching spot, Tenerife’s shores are graced by different species throughout the year and there’s no better vantage point for viewings than from on board Pampano yacht.
Intersperse cruising around the neighbouring islands in search of families of whales and dolphins, with snorkelling in the warm waters of the Atlantic and sunset drinks on deck.
