💸 Is It Worth the Price?

  • A carbon-conscious stay with ocean conservation baked in

  • Slower travel, Tenerife’s warm weather means year-round seasonality, avoiding over-touristed summer crushes

  • A community-minded hotel that employs locally and invests in the island’s marine ecology

It's indulgent and intentional.
