If you're looking for a warm winter escape, being 1,400 metres above sea level at this hotel might not be your best option - but Tenerife is not all about beach holidays. A log fire in the library keeps out the cold, and with stunning nature on its doorstep in the form of a pine forest, four-star Hotel Spa Villalba is a paradise for bikers/hikers. This is the south Tenerife you probably didn't know, one that is a world away from Costa Adeje despite being a mere half-hour drive. The peace and quiet of rural Vilaflor, where life moves in slow motion, is a stark contrast to the hustle and bustle of resorts such as Playa de las Américas.
The Hotel Spa Villalba's gardens form part of the Corona Forestal natural park and rooms provide stunning pine forest views.
The hotel is in Tenerife's southern interior, beside a pine forest with trails for hiking and cycling.
By plane: flights from London, Birmingham and Manchester to Tenerife take around 4 hours 30 mins. The hotel is a 40-minute drive from Tenerife South. There is free parking on-site. skyscanner.net
Perfect for adventure seekers aged 14 and above who want to explore the local terrain on their own two feet or two wheels. Walking into the hotel, you are immediately struck by the size and significance of the chandelier hanging from the ceiling.
To help you maximize use of the climbing wall and gym, hire a personal trainer for a more structured programme.
