San Miguel De Abona Hotels

Plunged into the heart of Tenerife's countryside, the San Miguel de Abona municipality offers a slice of unspoilt island life, letting you stay below terraces of leafy tomato plants, and spindly grape vines. You'll quickly adapt to the slower pace of life here, as afternoon siestas and ocean dips become a welcome addition to your day-to-day routine. Dramatic volcanic landscapes, flowing golf courses and authentic fishing villages - where you can sit for hours listening to the putting engines of colourful boats – combine to make San Miguel de Abona one of Tenerife's most charming destinations.

Things to see

Leave the car at home, and trot past everything from the tall corks of volcanic plugs, to views of the deep blue sea frothing against oil-black rocks, as you take a guided tour on horseback. If the riding gives you a taste for unusual transport, then head straight to the coast, where you can book yourself onto a submarine ride. You'll plunge 30 metres below the lapping Atlantic waves, and enter a world where passing schools of fish shimmer as one, and curious mantra rays grin as they glide effortlessly past your window. The luna landscape of Reserva Ambiental de San Blas feels equally out of this world. Learn how brooding volcanoes spewed the Canary Islands from the Earth's core in the interactive museum, before hiking into spectacular caves, or pulling yourself across the surface of luminous green lakes, while standing on battered wooden rafts.

Hotels in San Miguel De Abona

Just because you're enjoying Tenerife at its most peaceful doesn't mean you have to compromise on your hotel's quality. Hotels in San Miguel de Abona let you swim below the glowing sun, in refreshing pools that snake through luscious gardens of waving palm trees and lava-red flowers. Surrender to spa treatments that will help you to feel 10 years younger, as sweet incenses, soothing rhythms, and soft massages work their magic. Balconies, and roof-top terraces, offer views over the cyan-blue ocean, as well as across the pristine golf courses that skirt along the rocky coastline. Whether you choose a modest self-catering apartment, or a gigantic hotel suite, you'll always get free WiFi, flat-screen televisions, and tea and coffee making facilities in your room.

Where to stay

The singing bells of San Miguel's church tower welcome you to the small town that lends the municipality its name. Visit the church to enjoy views of the town's whitewash houses and narrow streets, before trying its outdoor bars and cafes - which buzz with chatter at lunchtime. If you want to sample some of Tenerife's best fish dishes, however, you should book a hotel at the fishing village of Los Abrigos instead. Work up your appetite with an evening stroll around the harbour, watching as tiny boats bob back to shore to unload their catches. In no time at all, you'll be sitting down to dine on plates of cazón - fried dogfish drizzled in lemon - at your choice of the village's welcoming tapas bars.
