Best Hotels in Tenerife for Teenagers – A 2026 Guide
Best Hotels in Tenerife for Teenagers – A 2026 Guide
Whether you’ve got thrill-seeking teens, sporty teens or those who simply want somewhere Instagram-worthy to hang out, there’s something here for everyone. So if you’re searching for the best hotels in Tenerife for teenagers, these are the ones I would recommend.
1. Landmar Costa Los Gigantes Family Resort, Playa de la Arena
One of the best all-round hotels in Tenerife for teenagers – this hotel is hard to beat for all the family.
The resort is packed with activities including a splash park, zip lines, climbing wall, sports courts, mini golf and even a dedicated teen club. There’s so much to do that they won’t be glued to their phones all day (well, hopefully!). The spacious grounds also mean older kids can enjoy a little independence while you relax by the pool.
- Dedicated teen club for 12-17 year olds
- Gaming consoles
- Multiple pools and splash park
- Great all inclusive options
- Spacious family suites available
- Close to local beach
2. Hard Rock Hotel Tenerife, Playa Paraiso
If your teenager thinks most family hotels are “boring”, then this hotel is for them, especially music lovers.
The Hard Rock Hotel Tenerife has a trendy and much more grown-up vibe than your typical family resort. This beachfront resort offers live music, DJs, incredible pool areas and plenty of Instagram-worthy spots throughout the hotel. Older kids love the stylish atmosphere and the fact it feels more like a luxury resort than a family hotel.
There are kids clubs to suit every age with the Teen Spirit offering music workshops and game console competitions, while the huge choice of restaurants means even the fussiest teenager should find something they like.
- Live music and great atmosphere
- Multiple pools
- Dedicated teen club for 11-16 years
- Adults only pool
- Excellent dining options
- Great choice of stylish rooms for all family sizes
3. GF Victoria, Costa Adeje
This hotel regularly appears on my Tenerife recommendations because it genuinely offers something for every age group. For teenagers, the headline attraction is the surf pool and water slides. There’s also a climbing wall, adventure park and sports areas. It is within walking distance of the local beach and close by to Siam Park for a great day out. This luxurious hotel is ideal if you want something a little more premium than the average family resort.
- Surf Pool
- Dedicated teen club ages 13-16 years
- Water slides
- Adults only infinity pool
- Good choice of bars and restaurants
- Beautiful suites
4. PlayaOlid Suites & Apartments, Costa Adeje
Not every family wants to spend thousands on a Tenerife holiday, and that’s where PlayaOlid really shines. This hotel offers fantastic value for money while still giving older kids plenty to enjoy.
The central Costa Adeje location means teenagers can enjoy exploring nearby shops, beaches and attractions with the family, while the hotel itself has pools, entertainment and a lively atmosphere with dedicated teen club. All-inclusive comes as standard meaning all the family should be well catered for at the buffet restaurant.
If you’re looking for an affordable Tenerife holiday with teenagers, this is definitely worth considering.
- Dedicated teen club for 13-17 years
- Lively atmosphere
- Close to beach and shops
- Excellent value
- Spacious apartments available
- Central Costa Adeje location
5. Spring Hotel Bitacora, Playa de las Americas
If your teenager wants action-packed holidays, they’ll love the Bitacora.
The hotel has a fantastic water slide area, splash zones and a brilliant activity programme for older children in Tenerife. Its location in Playa de las Americas is also a major selling point. You’ll be close to beaches, shopping centres and plenty of attractions, making it ideal for families with older children who want more than just a hotel pool. For younger kids, there is an indoor play area, playground and kids pool to suite all ages.
The atmosphere is fun, energetic and perfect for active families.
- Aquapark with waterslides
- Games room
- Dedicated teens club for 12-17 years
- Plenty of entertainment for all ages
- Indoor sauna

6. Bahia Principe Fantasia Tenerife, Golf del Sur
If you’re travelling with a mix of ages, Bahia Principe Fantasia is one of the best all-round family hotels in Tenerife. While the fairytale castle theme initially looks geared towards younger children, there’s actually plenty here to keep teens entertained too. The hotel has a dedicated teen club called The Loft, complete with games, pool tables, table tennis and social activities, plus sports facilities, multiple pools and evening entertainment.
The resort itself is huge, with several swimming pools, a water park, professional shows in the castle theatre and plenty of activities happening throughout the day. Spacious family rooms that sleep up to five guests make it a great option for larger families too
