On the southern coastline of Tenerife, Villa Cortes makes a bold statement with its design inspired by Mexico’s colonial architecture – think bursts of blue and yellow, tiled courtyards and arches throughout. Scattered amidst the immaculately manicured grounds are two swimming pools – the main one features a waterfall – tennis courts and plenty of sun loungers and Balinese beds for lazing beneath the sunshine. Service at this deluxe hotel is superb, as is the dining with an impressive seven options to pick from including authentic Mexican and classic Bavarian. And at the end of the day retire to your room or suite, complete with terrace, cooling terracotta tiles and highly polished mahogany furniture.
