Romantic getaway in Tenerife: a two-day plan (and how to give it as a gift)

A romantic getaway in Tenerife doesn't need a whole week or a big budget. With a couple of days, almost guaranteed good weather and a special place to sleep, the island has plenty to offer. Here is a simple plan for the southwest of the island, the quietest part of the south, and an idea in case you're looking to give the getaway as a gift.

Why the southwest of Tenerife is perfect for couples

The south has the best weather on the island, but not every part of the south is the same. Away from the busier resort areas, the southwest (Guía de Isora, Alcalá, Playa San Juan, Los Gigantes) is calmer, faces west and treats you to some of the most beautiful sunsets in Tenerife, with La Gomera outlined against the sea. It's exactly what a getaway for two asks for: silence, views and very little traffic.

Where to stay: a Bubble Suite with a private jacuzzi

If you want the night to be the heart of the plan, the Bubble Suite at Finca Alaya was made for it. It's a transparent, climate-controlled dome with a round bed, a private jacuzzi and the sky above you as you fall asleep. The private area is sheltered, so you can see out without anyone seeing in. You also get access to the beach-style pool and the relaxation areas in the garden.

If you'd like to add something extra, you can order a romantic decoration: rose petals and heart balloons, or the premium version with cava and chocolates, set up before you arrive.

A two-day plan for couples

Day 1: arrival, pool and sunset

Arrive without rushing, leave your things in the bubble and spend the afternoon between the pool and the jacuzzi. As the sun goes down, head out to the garden: from the finca the sun sets over the sea with La Gomera right in front of you. For dinner there are restaurants nearby, in Playa San Juan and Alcalá, a few minutes away by car. Afterwards, back to the bubble to watch the stars from bed.

Day 2: cliffs, sea and stars

• Los Gigantes: the island's most famous cliffs are very close. You can see them from the viewpoint or from the sea on a boat trip.
• Whale and dolphin watching: pilot whales and dolphins live between Tenerife and La Gomera all year round. Boat trips from Los Gigantes and Puerto Colón are among the loveliest things to do as a couple.
• Masca: the hamlet and its ravine, along one of the most spectacular roads on the island. If you'd like to hike down the ravine, check beforehand what the access is like.
• Teide at night: the national park is one of the best places in Europe for stargazing. There are guided sunset and stargazing tours.

How to give a romantic getaway in Tenerife as a gift

If the getaway is a surprise (Christmas, an anniversary, Valentine's Day or a birthday), the easiest option is a gift voucher: the person who receives it picks the date that suits them, so there's no need to guess their schedule.

• What's included: one night in the Bubble Suite, with a private jacuzzi, a round bed and access to the beach-style pool and the relaxation areas.
• Price: 219 € for a weeknight (Sunday to Thursday) or 239 € for Friday or Saturday.
• Validity: 6 months from purchase.
• How to redeem it: online, on the redeem voucher page: enter the code, choose the date depending on availability, and the booking is confirmed instantly.
• Surprise extras: you can add decoration or flowers when buying the voucher, and they don't appear on it, so the surprise holds until they open the door.
