Hotels in Arona

Arona Hotels

Arona is a large sun-dappled city situated on the southern coast of Tenerife, at a short 35 miles from the green-washed island’s capital city, Santa Cruz. The town is a booming resort area lying beside vast sweeping sands and luxuriant palm forests, where the surrounding rocky Tenerife countryside crescendos into stunning cliffs and bewildering mountains. With a relaxed vibe during the day, and an electrifying nightlife of cocktail bars and seafood restaurants, Arona makes for an unbeatable sun-soaked getaway.

Things to see

Start your balmy Arona morning by ambling around the well-maintained Central Park. This idyllic public green space was designed by a professional team of architects and biologists, resulting in an Eden-like paradise full of tropical palms, bright pink and yellow flowers, and cactus-stippled copper-coloured rocks that glow gold in the sun. The palm-sized butterflies and melodious birdsong that fill the park make for a magical experience. After, visit the nearby historic village of Los Cristianos, a small fishing port that has maintained much of its original local charm. The calm turquoise bay is speckled with white-washed fishing boats, and the narrow cobbled streets are lined with intriguing market stalls that sell curious trinkets and fresh fruits. In the evening, head back to Arona’s buzzing central streets, where the scent of sizzling lemon-soaked fish and tempting sweet sangria fills the air.

Where to stay

Stay in central Arona for a perfect blend of relaxed resort life and exciting evenings. As one of Tenerife’s smaller resort areas, Arona offers a slice of daytime peace and calm, where the palms gently sway and soft-strummed guitar music spirals through the streets - but the evenings come alive with enthralling cocktail and karaoke bars. For a bigger resort vibe - punctuated with a traditional local culture and historic stone-walled Spanish buildings - stay in nearby Los Cristianos. For a peaceful rural break immersed in history and natural beauty, stay in the quiet sleepy village of San Miguel.
