The Best Way to Spend Your Vacation in Tenerife
So you come to Tenerife Island and you're thinking of a place to stay. First, we thought a hotel would be a good option but then Jardin de la Paz offered us a stay at their amazing villas. We'd never stayed in fancy villas before but it seemed that this was definitely the best choice for us.
Jardin de la Paz is an oasis of beauty and tranquility in Tenerife. Set amidst vibrant subtropical terraced gardens, the resort offers amazing views over the Atlantic Ocean, the Valley of Orotava and Puerto de la Cruz.
When we arrived, we found a stunning complex consisting of 13 luxury villas. Ours was in the middle with a personal terrace and an ocean view. The two-storey villa had its own kitchen, several bathrooms and couple of bedrooms. All of the villas are carefully designed to exceed the expectations of guests - and we certainly weren’t disappointed!
There are also villas for 6 people, large families with children, couples, regular families or honeymooners. We were shown a honeymoon suite which looked fantastic. I can't imagine a better place to spend a honeymoon - watching the sunset from our terrace was so romantic.
The villas have everything you might need including all kitchen accessories. You can also have breakfast on the property if you don’t feel like cooking. Breakfast is very rich and exclusive and is served in the “Vista Paraiso” Pavilion with panoramic views of the ocean and coastline. The extensive breakfast buffet includes homegrown fruit, orange juice in the winter, year-round bananas, freshly harvested figs in the summer, and exquisite homemade jams made from local fruits. Once a week, Jardin de la Paz offers a breakfast with local products in a historic setting.
The food here in general is amazing. Our favourite was the Canary Tapas Evening, complete with historic costumes and local music.
The villas are located on the north part of the island with a fabulous view of the Teide volcano. This part of the island is much greener than the south so make sure you get out there and enjoy it. The resort offers all-season hiking tours, water sports and golfing within the island´s unique and breathtaking landscape. Enjoy the jagged coastline, the lush pine woods, the marvellous mountain scenery – or simply relax on the inviting beaches.
The best way to get to the villas is by car. There are also several restaurants nearby but it is much easier to get around if you drive. The villas are also very close to the world-famous Loro Parque, the best zoo in Europe and a great place to spend a day.
Between everything that the resort and the island offers, you’ll never have a dull moment! Thank you again to the Jardin de la Paz team for making our stay so memorable.
