The Best Adult-Only Hotels in the Canary Islands
Sun, sea, sand… and screaming kids? While holidaying with the little ones can be fun, let’s face it – for a genuinely relaxing break you have to go without them. And thankfully, there’s no shortage of adults-only hotels aiming to provide a more peaceful time away. Here are the best child-free hotels around the Canary Islands.
1. Bohemia Suites & Spa Hotel

This adults-only luxury hotel is located in the popular Playa de Ingles resort on the south end of Gran Canaria, a short stroll from its sandy beach. Its 67 high-tech guest rooms are finished in colourful and funky styling, with a contemporary opulence that really sets in the mood – with the help of some tweakable atmospheric lighting. The hotel’s secluded gardens are filled with exotic flora, there’s a spa for couples’ pampering and a rooftop restaurant provides the perfect spot for candlelit dinner for two.
2. H10 Ocean Dreams Boutique Hotel

Opened in 2016, this Fuerteventuras adults-only hotel has a boutique-style atmosphere that is understandably popular with couples.

Upscale amenities include Nespresso machines, smart TVs and private wine bars. The entire hotel gleams a pure, clean white and is set around a super-swish sea-view swimming pool. It’s ultimately a contender for the best hotel in the whole of the Canaries.
5. Hotel San Roque

Set in a 17th-century typically Canarian manor house with earth-red walls, immaculately tasteful styling and period charm in spades, the Hotel San Roque is hands down one of the finest on Tenerife. Individually styled rooms are brimming with original touches such as Rennie Mackintosh furniture, while some feature whirlpool tubs; the suite, set in the watchtower, boasts a rooftop terrace with sea views. A lovely secluded courtyard has a swimming pool and an alfresco dining patio, but to top it all, as an adults-only hotel it makes the perfect setting for a romantic break for two.
6. Wavia Hotel

Opened in just 2015, this boutique-size hotel is certainly one of the more funky and contemporary on the island, and is located just a couple of minutes’ walk from pretty Las Canteras beach on Gran Canaria’s north coast. This adults-only property is kept suitably conducive to romancing couples with some of the 10 guest rooms opening onto decked terraces with lovely sea views. For indoor snuggling, the suite has a super-comfy sofa and massive flatscreen TV, lights can be switched to set the mood and bathrobes come as standard; breakfast can also be served in-room for couples who’d rather not get out of bed.
