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.
