Ideal for both adults and families, luxurious Bahía del Duque is probably the Canaries' finest resort hotel.

There's so much for everyone to enjoy here, whatever their age. Relax on the beach or beside a pool, workout or play squash, enjoy yoga or pilates, be pampered in the spa, go scuba diving, enjoy motorised and non-motorised water sports, take a boat excursion or play some tennis. The hotel provides three or four complimentary daily health and fitness classes, such as spinning, stretching, step, cross-fit and zumba. Meanwhile, The Mini Club, with children's playground, provides activities for 3 to 12 year olds. With a great selection of accommodation options, including villas, Bahía del Duque is well worth considering.

If you like your accommodation to be sleek, spacious, stylish and contemporary, the all-suite Baobab Suites hotel on Tenerife's south coast, may be just the ticket. Whilst it's got extensive family facilities, we think this is a great adult option outside the school holidays - particularly if you're primary interest is in enjoying the hotel's extensive health & fitness facilities. How about a week of personal training, yoga and private reformer pilates classes? Even better if combined with soaking up the sunshine from your suite's private pool. Check out Baobab Suites
