If you’re looking for the best adults-only hotels in Tenerife, our pick of the bunch will provide peace and calm in place of kids' clubs pandemonium, refined dining over mealtime melees, and calm waters rather than inflatable-infested pools. Yes, family holidays have their place, but in today’s busy world, a little ‘me-time for the more mature’ is just as important.

This sleek all-suite hotel, which is the adults-only section of Barcelo’s Corales resort, is recognised by its ocean-liner facade and found close to the oceanfront in the sleepy village of La Caleta.

The adults-only Hacienda del Conde lies in a secluded setting, amid sub-tropical greenery, on the island’s quieter northwest coast. Here, guests lounge by the hotel’s two lagoon pools, which are surrounded by palm trees and at the centre of several Spanish buildings. The Teno Mountains back this scenic retreat and it all faces onto the ocean, just beyond the oceanfront Buenavista Golf course. A full-service spa draws guests away from the pool, with yoga classes and bike rental providing daily activity. Local products and flavours are showcased in the intimate Salazar Restaurant and a buffet is offered in Buena Vista Restaurant.
