Overview

 
Set among lush subtropical gardens in the elegant resort of Puerto de la Cruz, Hotel Botanico and The Oriental Spa Garden is one of Tenerife’s most refined addresses. A proud member of The Leading Hotels of the World, this 5-star grand dame pairs old-school European service with an award‑winning spa, three serene outdoor pools and a choice of acclaimed à la carte restaurants. Think sweeping mountain and ocean views, tranquil courtyards with fountains, and suites dressed in classic wood and silk fabrics – all just a short shuttle ride from the seafront.

Terracotta rooftops peeking above tropical foliage, tranquil pools fringed with palms and the snow-capped Teide rising in the background – Hotel Botanico and The Oriental Spa Garden feels like a private estate rather than a resort hotel. Meander through koi ponds and fountains to the celebrated spa, or linger over a long dinner in one of four à la carte restaurants before a nightcap in the piano bar. For couples or discerning families seeking the Canary Islands’ gentler, greener side, Hotel Botanico and The Oriental Spa Garden delivers classic luxury in Puerto de la Cruz. It’s around 2 hours from Tenerife South Airport (TFS) by road. See more Canary Islands holidays.

Map & location


Puerto De La Cruz, Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain

Hotel Botanico sits in an exclusive, leafy enclave of Puerto de la Cruz on Tenerife’s verdant north coast, a short stroll from the island’s famous Botanical Gardens. This side of the island feels more traditional and local than the south, with dark‑sand beaches, ocean-fed lidos and historic plazas backed by banana plantations and the dramatic Orotava Valley.

You’re close enough to dip into the seafront promenade and café scene, yet the hotel itself feels wonderfully tucked away – surrounded by landscaped grounds where the only sounds are birdsong and gently bubbling fountains.

  • Approx. transfer time from airport 2 hours (from Tenerife South, TFS)

Pool & outdoors


Within the hotel’s lush botanical grounds you’ll find three outdoor freshwater pools plus a serene indoor option:
