An adults-only hotel is the easiest way to guarantee a quiet pool in Tenerife. Most are in Costa Adeje, the island’s most upmarket resort area, close to calm beaches such as Playa del Duque and Fañabé, and around 20 minutes from Tenerife South airport.
Quick answer: for a beach hotel, choose Iberostar Selection Sábila on Fañabé beach or JOIA El Mirador by Iberostar near Playa del Duque. For views of the Los Gigantes cliffs, choose Barceló Santiago.

Tips for booking an adults-only hotel in Tenerife
- Check the minimum age: Age limits vary from hotel to hotel, so check the hotel’s policy before you book, especially if you’re travelling with older teenagers.
- Know what ‘adults only’ covers: Some family hotels have an adults-only pool or area rather than being adults only throughout. The hotels on this page are listed as adults-only hotels.
- Pick your view: Costa Adeje hotels are close to the beaches and restaurants, while Puerto de Santiago, next to Los Gigantes, is quieter, with cliff views and sunsets.
- Compare board basis: Some adults-only hotels offer all inclusive as well as room only, breakfast or half board, so compare the options for your dates.
Travel insurance for Tenerife
Book your cover as soon as you’ve paid for your trip, so you’re protected if you need to cancel. Tenerife is part of Spain, so take your GHIC too, but it isn’t a substitute for travel insurance.
