Arenas del Mar in El Medano, Tenerife, Canary Islands

Arenas del Mar details

“An ultra hip hotel, the Arenas del Mar boasts a swish spa and a great seafront spot.”

When you step into the Arenas del Mar, it’s like escaping the outside world falling into the pages of a magazine spread. Take the lobby for instance. Small water canals weave around the place, giving it a Zen-like feel. Plus there are plenty of contemporary sofas to relax in. And for a real designer touch, there are huge illuminated shells suspended from the ceiling.

The rest of the hotel makes a real style statement, too. Take the bedrooms for example. They offer the ultimate in comfort. Spacious and minimalist, they team a light colour scheme with clean lines and funky wood furnishings. Plus they all come with large beds, satellite TVs and lounge areas. The bar is a talking point, too, with its Moorish-style stained-glass walls.

Vibe-wise, the hotel is pretty quiet and low-key. Fringed by a large sun terrace with sun loungers, parasols and palms, the infinity pool is the ultimate place to chill out. There’s a handy pool bar, too. And the views from here certainly score top marks. You can look right out over the shores of El Medano’s, the largest of Tenerife’s natural beaches. The beach itself is a great spot for surfing, with competitions held throughout the year.

To really unwind though, head for the hotel’s sumptuous spa for goodies like thalassotherapy treatments, a steam room and a whirlpool bath. There’s also a gym and an indoor pool within the spa which looks out over the sea. Those feeling a bit more lively can play table tennis or pool. And if you’re travelling with children, there’s a play centre, and a separate kids’ pool.
