Vincci Seleccion La Plantacion del Sur
Costa Adeje | Canary Islands
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Imagine looking out across an old banana plantation towards the Atlantic, with the golden crescent of Playa del Duque below and Teide\u2019s silhouette behind you. Vincci Seleccion La Plantacion del Sur takes that view and wraps it in refined, plantation-style architecture, palm-shaded courtyards and a spa that serious spa-goers travel for. Six pools ribbon through immaculate gardens, villas come with private whirlpools, and evenings are all about long, unhurried dinners and live music on the terrace.
Terracotta rooftops, whitewashed towers and tiered, tropical gardens make Vincci Seleccion La Plantacion del Sur feel more like a private estate than a resort hotel. From its hillside perch above Costa Adeje you get cinematic sunsets, wide Atlantic horizons and a sense of space that\u2019s rare this close to one of Tenerife\u2019s most exclusive beaches. It\u2019s a natural choice if you want the island\u2019s sunshine and restaurants, but prefer slow mornings, spa rituals and a genuinely relaxed atmosphere back at base.
For couples and families who love the Canary Islands but prefer their Costa Adeje base a notch more serene, Vincci Seleccion La Plantacion del Sur strikes a clever balance: big-resort facilities, boutique-style design and a spa that anchors the whole experience. It\u2019s approximately 30 minutes from Tenerife South (TFS) and high enough above Playa del Duque to feel secluded, yet close enough that you can wander down to the promenade when the mood takes you.

Location
Set in an elevated position above Costa Adeje, Vincci Seleccion La Plantacion del Sur looks out over what used to be a banana plantation, now landscaped into terraced gardens, with the Atlantic as a constant backdrop.
