The safe, proven north-coast five-star, and the island's best spa. Check availability for a renovated Teide-facing room. The north's proven five-star: a serious spa, mature gardens and Teide from the pool, in a real town rather than a purpose-built strip. Traditional to the marble, cheaper than the south and a few degrees less certain on sun.
It has indoor and outdoor pools. There is no beach; the nearest is a drive away.
The most characterful stay on the island, for a short, unhurried few nights. Check availability for an upper-floor balcony room. Twenty rooms in an 18th-century house in the middle of Garachico, with a courtyard, a pool for cooling off and the owners' taste in every corner. This is the island before the resorts, and it is a few nights, not a week.
It has an outdoor pool. A public beach is within walking distance.
