Bahia Principe Fantasia Tenerife

Bahia Principe Fantasia is a fairytale-inspired resort located on the southern coast of Tenerife, around 14km from Los Cristianos and close to Tenerife South Airport. The brightly painted buildings are set in tree-lined gardens, just 500m from the beach. Golfers will be pleased to know that the nearest course is just 1.5km away.

This family-friendly hotel caters for guests of all ages. For the young children there's fancy dress workshops, games and expeditions, while for the more creative little ones there's crafts and cooking. The Teens' Club, exclusively for teenagers, is ideal for those who would prefer not to remain with their little siblings or parents the whole time. The kids also have their own swimming pools to splash around in, while the infinity pool is exclusively for adults. Choose from five standard pools, including one which is heated in the winter. While you have some peace and quiet maybe indulge in a massage or beauty treatment, sunbathe in the solarium or hit the gym.

In the evening enjoy an exclusive production in the resort's theatre. For guests just wanting to satisfy their appetite the a la carte restaurants will leave them spoiled for choice. The Ladon is named after a fiery dragon, here you can tuck into a succulent steak, fresh from the flames. The hotel's wood fired stove is located in the Italian themed Il Paradiso, meaning hungry mouths won't have long to wait for freshly prepared pizzas. Nemuru is the Japanese word for sleep but you won't want to do that before you have eaten a delicious Oriental dinner, combining traditional recipes and innovative culinary techniques. As you'd expect a range of drinks are available with whatever you decide to eat and these can also be enjoyed throughout the day at numerous conveniently located bars.

There are a variety of room options, catering for different sized families, as well as suiting the needs of those who aren't travelling with children. At Bahia Principe Fantasia you can choose between twin and king sized beds, while you'll have a balcony (some have a sea view), air conditioning, mini-bar and satellite TV. You'll also have a sofa which can convert into an additional bed, allowing up to three adults to share a standard room. If you love being in the water then don't miss out on the option to upgrade to a suite with a swim-up pool.

You can't miss La Teide National Park - literally - the summit is over 3,750m above sea level. Here you can see Paisaje Lunar, which looks like a structure that belongs on the moon but it was in fact formed by volcanic activity. The mountain is one of the best places in the world for stargazing, so if you want to see the Leo constellation or possibly even another planet, there's few places better to observe the night sky from.
