Bahia Del Duque, Costa Adeje, Tenerife
In a quiet location in the south of the island, this upmarket landmark resort - a favourite among visiting celebrities - garners rave reviews from parents for its service, staff and facilities, making it a top choice for family holidays in Tenerife. As a measure of its level of luxury, this is a hotel with its very own observatory so that guests can stargaze.
Overlooking gorgeous, golden Playa del Duque and just a 25-minute transfer from the airport, Bahia del Duque has a spa, kids' and teen clubs and eight restaurants, many with children's menus. Rooms are fresh and airy, some with local volcanic stone elements in their decor.
Las Casas Ducales is a separate area of the hotel with its own reception, breakfast room and cocktail salon, butler service and upgraded room amenities, or there are also villas with their own swimming pools and 24-hour butler service.
