Luxury vacations aren't for everyone. Nor should they be. That's because one of the best things about luxury vacations is exclusivity – the opportunity to visit uncommon places and enjoy new experiences that for most, have yet to be discovered.

Tenerife is such a place. Chic and elegant, this exotic island, part of the Canary chain, offers sophisticated travelers a unique, Spanish accented blend of indulgent offerings – and then some. Join us as we take a look at the luxurious side of Tenerife.

The island boasts year-round warmth and sunshine, as well as beautiful, pristine beaches that invite you to swim, stroll or languidly stretch out and soak it all in. But the island's beauty is not confined to its sand and sea. Tenerife's richly varied landscape beckons you to explore, discovering off-the-beaten-track sights, breathtaking UNESCO world heritage sites, thrilling outdoor adventures, and charming slices of Canarian life that few back home can lay claim to ever having experienced all in one place. Afterwards, soothing, world-class spas rejuvenate your senses and restore your wellbeing in sumptuous comfort.

In addition to exclusivity, discerning travelers choose luxury vacations for the pampering afforded by elegant surroundings and exceptional service. You will experience both in Tenerife, where the large number of 5-star hotels – more than you'll find, for example, in Madrid or Barcelona – offer numerous ways to live the luxe life in style. Offering spectacular views and exclusive amenities like golf, tennis and spa retreats, these properties invite luxury travelers to relax and unwind in complete comfort.

And then, of course, there is dining – a key part of any luxury vacation. In Tenerife, you'll find numerous ways to experience exceptional food and wine in surroundings that range from the historic to the truly sumptuous. The opportunities to sample some of the finest examples of Canarian cuisine or sip a fine wine from a nearby winery are uncommon experiences that will not soon be forgotten. Nor will you forget the sheer pleasure of dancing the night away in a stylish club, or the relaxing bliss of sipping a fruity cocktail at a beachside bar, watching the yachts, sailboats and people pass before your eyes.

So take it all in and indulge your taste for adventure, relaxation, pampering and luxury in Tenerife. Delight in the knowledge that you have discovered a very special paradise that few others will ever find. And isn't that part of the enjoyment?
