An All Inclusive Oasis

Main Buffet Echeide: Make your way through rows and rows of international cuisine from brothy soups to fresh off the grill favourites and sugary desserts. Every day there’s a new selection of meals to tantalise your taste buds. Take advantage of the dedicated play area from 6pm – 10:30pm, allowing you to eat child-free.

Ladon Restaurante Brasa Grill: Named Ladon, after the fiery breath of a dragon, this steakhouse certainly fits in with the hotel’s mythological theme. Famed for its barbecued meats, feast on everything from kebabs to lamb chops and succulent sirloins.

Nemuru Asian Restaurant: This Asian a la carte will win over any holidaymaker’s heart with its traditional oriental recipes and innovative culinary techniques.

IL Paradiso Italian Restaurant: With a corner exclusively for kids, let your little ones cook pizzas with expert chefs. As for the menu, there’s a diverse range of sharing platters and individual dishes such as garlic infused bruschetta and creamy carbonara.

Eden Bar: Craving an ice-cold beer in the sun? This poolside bar provides just that and more from 10am – 6pm.

Hesperis Bar: Open from 10am until 11pm, this is your go-to place for around-the-clock drinks. Situated in the lobby, cool down from Tenerife’s eternal sunshine with a Mojito in hand.

Infinity Bar: Exclusively for adults only, come to this bar between 10am – 6pm for peace, quiet and a fruity cocktail.

Something for the whole family 

It doesn’t matter whether you’re travelling solo, as a couple or a family because the Fantasia Bahia Principe Tenerife has everyone covered. Kids can revel in crafts, cooking, expeditions and games, while active teens can join a club that provides them with their own space to play pool, foosball or hangout. There’s even a dedicated splash park with water cannons, slides and tipping buckets!

There are several pools each providing a different backdrop from the infinity edge gazing out onto the horizon to the heated indoor number for adults only. In fact, the spa is one of the hotel’s highlights with plantain oil massages (which can only be sourced from the island) to release all those aches and pains. Not forgetting the bubble beds, steam bath and sauna.

Nightimes are more than just sunset tipples, head to the theatre for one-of-a-kind performances. There are circus inspired shows with aerial, contortion and juggling acts as well as carnival themed extravaganzas featuring fire blowing and other magical skills.  

Surrounded by fun-filled activities 

One of the perks of a holiday to Tenerife is the size of the island, you can travel from one side to the other in under an hour making everything easily accessible. Nearby there’s Aqualand where lazy rivers and plunging slides draw crowds in for miles, but for a real showstopper head to Siam Park in Costa Adeje – one of the world’s best waterparks.

On your doorstep find Loro Park, originally a paradise for parrots now a fully-fledged zoo which  is celebrated for its dolphin and sea lion shows. But a visit to this stunning archipelago wouldn’t be  complete without a visit to Spain’s tallest mountain, Mount Teide.
