Managed by Ritz-Carlton, this gorgeous terracotta citadel on the unspoilt western coast of Tenerife is resplendent in acres of beautiful botanical
gardens with stunning sweeping views over the ocean and the neighbouring island of La Gomera.
In the main hotel or ‘Citadel’, you will find huge rooms with large balconies and beautiful marble bathrooms overlooking swimming pools, palm groves and the golf course. If you require more privacy, rooms and suites can be found in the separate and more exclusive “Villas” area.
The hotel’s comprehensive facilities really set it apart. It has a whole host of delicious restaurants; a tennis club and an amazing ‘Out of Africa’ inspired 2,500m² Spa and Wellness Centre, managed by the team behind Thailand’s Chiva-Som. An adults only swimming pool creates the perfect relaxing retreat within the resort.
There are ten fabulous eateries at this cliff-top resort offering a range of choices to treat the palate. A gourmet restaurant is supervised by Spanish 3 Michelin star chef Martin Berasategui while delicious Japanese cuisine can be enjoyed at Kabuki.
The breathtaking golf course is sure to impress even the most discerning golfer, whilst the secluded beach is a dream with imported white sand, set against looming slate cliffs, and a fantastic beach club.
Throughout October 2008, kids up to the age of 12 can enjoy a complimentary buffet at lunch (Los Chozos) and dinner (La Pampa or Verona) if they are accompanied by their parents. A ‘Dinner & Dance’ experience is available every Friday night in October 2008 at the Mirador Restaurant.
