Royal Hideaway Corales Suites
Airily shipshape
Canary mellow
You don’t have to be a mind-reader to know what inspired Tenerife-born architect Leonardo Omar when he designed Royal Hideaway Corales Suites. The staggered white terraces of this luxury family hotel – which jut cruise ship-like above the black sands of La Enramada Beach – are home to sparklingly spacious apartment-style suites, all with sea views from their private sundecks. Luckily, that’s where the cruise-ship similarities end. A sea-rivalling heated saltwater pool – Canarian cuisine enjoyed alfresco and children’s activities to occupy every age are worth getting on board with. And, the villagey charms of La Caleta are just a flip-flopped amble away…
Planes
Tenerife South airport, the main destination for international flights, is 25 minutes away by car.
Trains
There are no tracks and no trains – you won’t be going loco in Tenerife.
Automobiles
Car hire from Tenerife South airport is an option-boosting choice if you plan to explore the island. The lure of the beach and just-a-stroll-away La Caleta, however, mean that an airport shuttle or taxi could well be all you need.
Worth Getting Out of Bed For
Think of the choice of activities at Royal Hideaway Corales Suites as tapas: there’s temptation everywhere, but only so much you can take on. A game of golf, vineyard tours, stargazing, surfing and diving... This is a menu to dip into, between laps of the pool and stints at the beach. The hotel has a brilliant programme of exclusive experiences that allow you to tick off typical Tenerifan activities with an experienced guide, as well as a handful of VIP touches. Take the hike to Mount Teide: guiding, permits to summit the volcano and cable-car transfers are all taken care of. All you need to bring is enough energy to trek for five hours. A much shorter walk away is Costa Adeje Golf Course: this coastal course has 18 holes and a putting green and is worth packing your clubs for. Stargazing in Tenerife is neck-craningly wondrous away from the resort glare, and an ingenious way to achieve optimum conditions is on a night cruise, organised through the hotel, which involves a gourmet dinner washed down with constellations seen through a telescope in the company of a ‘sky coach’. Volcanic cliffs plunge into the sea at El Hierro, making it a sealife-rich playground for scuba divers: the hotel can organise a taster for the uninitiated, or a guided plunge for qualified divers. The island’s zoo Loro Parque and water park Siam Park & Beach are two Tenerife classics that can be tailored with an all-day VIP experience for a unique take. You’ll get access to special areas at the zoo, getting up close with the penguins and seals, and learn about all the different residents from wildlife experts. The trip to Siam Park includes exclusive sunset access to the beach, and an artificial waves session tailored to your desires.
