The best spas in northern Tenerife
Before you even start looking for thermal waters in Tenerife, it’s important to know where they’re found on the island. Just like its climate and range of hotels, the landscape of Tenerife changes from one area to the next, and so do its spas and health resorts. In contrast to busy southern Tenerife, the north of the island offers a degree of tranquillity that is considered ideal for unwinding.
With this in mind, discovering less crowded spots and finishing off your day by visiting a spa in northern Tenerife is highly recommended. Below we present a selection of wellness centres in the north of the island.
Spa La Quinta: A romantic trip is the perfect excuse for giving in to the pleasures of a spa in northern Tenerife. Santa Úrsula municipality combines nature and sea to create a fairy-tale landscape that is hard to resist. This is where you’ll find Spa La Quinta, a centre that offers endless options for soothing your body and mind. One thing that is particularly attractive is its selection of rituals for couples. Treatments include relaxation therapy in the water circuit, sense-awakening massages inspired by Nordic rituals, and an all-encompassing “love pack” for couples which combines massages, access to the spa and dinner.
