Hotel Suite Villa Maria

Situated on a hilltop in the fishing village of La Caleta on the south-western side of Tenerife, Hotel Suite Villa Maria offers stunning views out over the Atlantic Ocean and the nearby island of La Gomera.

Modelled on the traditional villages of the Canary Islands, guests are welcomed by the flower-lined paths and trickling water fountains of the hotel’s tranquil grounds before entering one of the many individual villas on the luxury complex. The one to three-bedroom duplex villas each come with their own kitchenettes and bright living areas which elegantly contrast fresh-white interiors, arches and columns with wicker chairs and warm wood furnishings.

Wake up to a cup of coffee on your own private terrace and garden overlooking the pool, the mountains and the sea, and freshen up from long days in the heat in spacious, sleek bathrooms which feature bathtubs and hydromassage showers. With some two-bedroom villas including Jacuzzis and a selection of three-bedroom villas offering private pools, guests have the option to enjoy sweeping vistas and soothing dips in their own secluded slices of paradise.

Start the day with a delicious breakfast buffet of fresh, seasonal fruit and tasty pastries at the La Torre restaurant and return as the sun goes down for an a la carte dinner of delicious Canarian and international cuisine overlooking the intimately-lit pool and picturesque skies. Try out the irresistible light bites and pizzas on offer at the Blue Oasis Pool Bar for lunch or wind down for the day with a glass of wine by the lapping water.

Take a dip in the clear waters of one of the inviting lagoon-style swimming pools at the heart of the resort, under the rustling palm trees, followed by a cocktail from the Plaza Bar, or head over to the fitness centre for a good workout. Try your hand at a game of squash on the courts or venture out to the neighbouring Costa Adeje golf club for a memorable game accompanied by stunning, scenic views.

The indoor and outdoor playgrounds ensure that younger guests are well catered for while you have the chance to treat yourself to one of the holistic rituals on offer at the Naiad Wellness Centre. Pamper yourself with a range of treatments such as a hot-stone massage or a private thermal circuit.

With La Caleta’s coastline less than a kilometre away, guests are ideally located to explore the riches of the turquoise-blue waters, with water sports options such as diving, paddle boarding and kayaking available nearby. Take a trip to one of the many beaches in the area and soak up the sun on the golden sands of Playa del Duque before trying out some of the fresh seafood restaurants on the promenade.

Guests can also relax to the live reggae music on offer at the El Faro Chill Art Bar, or take advantage of the high-end shops at the Plaza del Duque mall.
