Hard Rock Hotel Tenerife – Luxury beach resort

Hard Rock Hotel Tenerife sits on the south-west coast at Playa Paraiso, in the municipality of Adeje. The beaches start about 200 metres from the door, and the resort runs across 16 floors with 624 rooms. The music theme shapes the look of the place, from the decor to the entertainment programme, while the Atlantic and the volcanic coastline fill the views from the upper floors. It works as a base for couples who want sun, pools and a livelier evening scene than a quiet seaside town would give.

This deal covers five nights in a Silver Deluxe Double room with breakfast included each morning. The room has a full double bed and runs to about 35 square metres, with a private bathroom and a balcony on the sea-facing side. The resort is built around its pool areas and a spa, and the entertainment schedule is part of the draw rather than an afterthought. Days here tend to split between the water, the terraces and a meal before whatever is on that night.

The closest beaches are roughly 200 metres away, and El Pinque is about the same distance in the other direction. Las Galgas beach is around 287 metres from the hotel, and Ajabo Beach sits just under a kilometre along the coast, so you can change your stretch of sand without needing the car. Loro Parque, the wildlife park in Puerto de la Cruz on the north of the island, is about 38 kilometres away and makes a full day out if you fancy a break from the pool.

Best for couples who want a beach base with pools, a spa and an evening programme, rather than a hushed corner of the coast. The sea views from the higher floors and the short walk to the sand are the main pull.
