Overview

 
Tucked above the Costa Adeje golf course with widescreen views towards the Atlantic, Royal River Luxury Hotel feels more like an exclusive villa enclave than a traditional resort. Meandering river-style pools, rooftop lounging and villa-only accommodation – many with private pools – make this a standout choice for indulgent escapes, anniversaries and honeymoons in Tenerife.

Architect-designed villas linked by dreamy river-style pools, a show-stopping rooftop infinity pool and far-reaching views over Costa Adeje golf course – Royal River Luxury Hotel is the definition of indulgent. Four destination-style restaurants, complimentary Serenity Spa access and ultra-private pool villas complete the picture for a modern, grown-up Tenerife escape. For couples seeking Canary Islands charm with a secluded, five-star feel, Royal River Luxury Hotel delivers the perfect balance. It’s approximately 30 minutes from the airport.

Map & location


Costa Adeje, Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain

Set in an elevated position above Costa Adeje, Royal River Luxury Hotel overlooks the lush fairways of the Costa Adeje golf course, with sweeping views towards La Caleta and the ocean. You’re tucked away enough to feel wonderfully private, yet close to the resort’s chic marina, beach clubs and restaurants when you want a change of scene.

Costa Adeje itself blends upmarket shopping centres, cosmopolitan dining and golden-sand beaches with easy access to Tenerife’s mountain and coastal adventures – from whale-watching cruises to Teide National Park day trips.

  • Approx. transfer time from airport 30 minutes from Tenerife South (TFS)

Facilities

Pool & outdoors


The hotel revolves around water – from the meandering “river” pools to statement infinity edges.

• Rooftop infinity pool – a heated freshwater showstopper, perched on the roof terrace with sunbeds and parasols for long, lazy days and sunset dips.
• Main outdoor pool – another heated freshwater pool with spacious sunbathing terraces, loungers and parasols.
• River-style pools – decorative lagoon-style pools running between the River Villas; while some villas open directly onto them, they are accessible to all guests.

Fresh pool towels are provided free of charge.

The nearest natural beach is La Caleta, around 2km away, where you’ll find a mix of rocky coves and small sand-and-pebble bays along with oceanfront restaurants and relaxed beach clubs.
