Why Stay?
Tenerife's best-kept secret, Royal River Luxury Hotel, gazes out over emerald fairways and the sparkling Atlantic, while its villas play hide-and-seek among lush gardens, each with its own slice of aquatic heaven.
Opened in 2021, 50 swanky, super private, one- to four-bedroom villas – African-inspired Lagoon Villas with direct access to a river-style pool, River Villas where you can swim out from your own pool and navigate the unique connecting waterway or Pool Villas which, as their name suggests, come with their own aquatic retreat.
An adults-and-teens only policy makes it perfect for a couples' getaway, family reunion (minus the little ones), or just to escape the daily grind. Oh, and wellness warriors are sure to be spa-struck by the Serenity Spa.
Forget run-of-the-mill resort fare – dining here is a gastronomic rollercoaster, from Kokoro (think Bangkok-meets-Bali with a Shanghai twist) to The Flamingo French Bistró – an oasis of exotic, bold turquoise and pink prints. And only one thing surpasses the jaw-dropping panoramic views offered at the stunning rooftop bar and restaurant, The Top Brasserie… and that’s the Canarian tapas (roasted onion risotto, anyone?).
