If it’s location you’re after for your next vacation then a trip to Gran Hotel Bahia del Duque Resort could be just what the doctor ordered. It’s situated on Tenerife Island in the Canary Islands, off the Moroccan coast. It’s set in a tropical climate amidst perfectly manicured gardens that seem to come to life in this perfect climate.

The hotel itself is a colonial building with lots of character and charm. Accommodation is offered in the traditional Spanish-style villas and luxurious suites created with your comfort at the fore. It’s the kind of place you need to book a long stay at; there’s so much to do and see, and so much comforted just waiting to be…lazed in.

The resort is framed by fragrant Jacaranda trees that paint the sky a vivid shade of purple and provide welcome shade from the Spanish sun. You can refresh yourself at five private pools on the property, explore the five bays available at Duque beach or get into the swing of things at five leading golf courses.

There’s also the unique experience of salt water therapy at the spa and the chance to keep yourself in great shape at the world class gym and fitness center, complete with personal trainer.

Outside activities abound and you can explore the local hang outs and features on a bicycle for a real slice of island life and a dose of fresh island air. Take your pick from tennis, horse back rides, hiking and fishing if you want to get your pulse racing or simply lay back and let the hours go by soaking up some sun.

It’s also child-friendly so you don’t have to worry about dumping the family before you leave, they can come along too. There’s a kids’ club for activities and lots for everyone to get involved in.
