The 10 best wedding venues in Tenerife

Tenerife weddings divide between the resort coast in the south and the older, greener north. Down south couples book Gran Hotel Bahía del Duque and GF Victoria within walking distance of Playa del Duque, or hire a working banana finca like Punta del Lomo outright; in the north the choices are Hotel Botánico in Puerto de la Cruz, the eighteenth-century Casa de Ponte behind Boutique Hotel San Roque in Garachico, and the seventeenth-century Hacienda de San Simón that now houses the Casa del Vino de Tenerife. Because the island climbs from sea level to Teide in about an hour's drive, a beachfront ballroom and a pine-forest hotel at 1,500 metres are both on the same shortlist.

Gran Hotel Bahía del Duque

Grand resort hotelPlaya del Duque, Adeje

The architecture is a deliberate reconstruction — a cluster of towers and painted façades imitating a nineteenth-century Canarian colonial villa — standing in 63,000 square metres of subtropical planting that runs down to the sand at Playa del Duque. Weddings are staged outdoors among the pools and garden clearings, with the Bahía Wellness Retreat absorbing the getting-ready hours and the hotel's own kitchens handling dinner. It belongs to The Leading Hotels of the World, which tells you both the level of formality and the price bracket. Sensible for a guest list that wants to land, check in and never leave the grounds.

Hotel Botánico & The Oriental Spa Garden

Garden hotelPuerto de la Cruz

Twenty-five thousand square metres of tropical garden surround this 212-room hotel in the middle of Puerto de la Cruz, with terraces facing the La Orotava valley, Teide and the Atlantic. One practical detail outranks the scenery: the hotel states that the Mayor of Puerto de la Cruz will conduct civil ceremonies on the premises, which is unusual on an island where most foreign couples end up with a symbolic service. The art hung through the public rooms is one of the larger hotel collections in Spain, and the Oriental Spa Garden fills the hours before anyone has to get dressed.

Boutique Hotel San Roque

Historic townhouse hotelGarachico, north-west coast

Casa de Ponte is an eighteenth-century mansion in the old centre of Garachico that the Carayon family found derelict in 1990 and restored between 1992 and 1996, keeping the interior patios, timber galleries and volcanic-stone walls; rather than reshape the house for the hotel, they cut the pool out of the rock beneath the courtyard. Events run small by design — the patio beside the pool, plus salons hung with a contemporary art collection assembled over three decades. Dinner comes from Anturium, the in-house restaurant, which cooks to the season and the local catch. Right for a few dozen people who want a building with a past rather than a function room.

Casa del Vino de Tenerife

Historic hacienda and museumEl Sauzal

Behind the wine museum stands the Hacienda de San Simón, a red-ochre estate begun in the mid-seventeenth century by the Seville merchant Simón de Herrera Leiva, its winery, family rooms and workers' quarters all arranged around one broad patio. El Sauzal's council bought the property in 1989 and passed it to the Cabildo in 1992, which restored it and opened it in 1995; the Fundación Canaria Tenerife Rural now runs it and hires the rooms out for weddings. The eighteenth-century Capilla de San Simón — a small chapel with a polychrome timber ceiling in a Portuguese manner touched by Mudéjar work — is the most valuable thing on the site. Indoor and outdoor spaces both exist and the venue confirms it holds a wet-weather alternative, which matters on this coast.

Bodegas Monje

WineryLa Hollera, El SauzalBarrel hall seats 150; restaurant terrace 100

Wine has been made by the Monje family here since 1750, on a slope above El Sauzal with Teide behind and the Atlantic below. Two rooms carry the day: the Sala de Barricas, a 350-square-metre barrel hall with six-metre ceilings and the acoustics that come with them, seating 150 for a banquet, and the restaurant terrace over the vines, which takes 100 seated or 200 standing. Four floors underground, the Club del Vino suits a smaller rehearsal dinner or a tasting the night before. Note that the restaurant closes on Mondays and for the whole of August.

Hacienda El Terrero

Restored coastal hamletLos Realejos, north coastUp to 180 guests; sleeps around 30 on site

A dozen restored houses strung along the cliff at El Terrero make up a private hamlet inside a 200,000-square-metre organic estate whose history the owners trace to the early sixteenth century. It is taken as a whole — cobbled lanes, a stone dining courtyard, outdoor patios, no neighbouring property — which turns the wedding into a two- or three-day booking rather than an afternoon. Almost everything happens in the open, so the north-coast weather is a real variable, and Puerto de la Cruz is close enough to take the guests who cannot sleep on the estate.

Finca Punta del Lomo

Working banana fincaGuargacho, southern TenerifeUp to 200 under the glass pergolas; up to 900 inside the pla

More than a century old and still a working banana plantation, this finca at Guargacho puts both the ceremony and the dinner inside the crop. Glass pergolas seat up to 200 for a banquet, the plantation floor itself is laid out for as many as 900, and the gardens take the welcome drinks. Stone houses on the estate sleep a handful of people, parking is private, and the same events operator has run the site for over twenty-five years. The night finishes at 02:00, later than most rural venues on the island allow.

Granja de Bastián

Rural farm complexEl Río, AricoAround 150 guests; six rural houses on site

Three small complexes totalling six rural houses sit above a volcanic ravine at El Río, in the dry hills of Arico. The ceremony is set up in the gardens with an altar and rows of chairs; the banquet moves to long timber tables in the dining and barbecue areas, and there is a flower garden on the lip of the barranco that most couples use for the photographs. Guests park on site, which sounds trivial until you have tried to get sixty cars up a Canarian country lane. Everything is outdoors and the night ends at 00:30, so it favours a long lunch over a late party.

GF Victoria

Modern five-star resortCosta Adeje, near Playa del Duque

Newer and sharper-edged than its neighbours, this all-suite five-star stands a short walk back from Playa del Duque and runs weddings through the GF Hoteles events desk, which also covers the group's four other Costa Adeje properties — useful when a guest list outgrows one building. The appeal is logistical rather than architectural: Tenerife South is the nearer airport, and ceremony, dinner and room block all sit on one site. Suits couples who would rather hand the operation to a hotel than assemble it from separate suppliers.

Hotel Spa Villalba

Mountain hotelVilaflor, 1,500 m

At 1,500 metres above Vilaflor, ringed by the pine forest of the Corona Forestal below Teide, this is the one venue on the list where guests will want a jacket once the sun drops. Twenty-seven rooms, a spa with a semi-covered pool facing the pines, and the La Vendimia restaurant for the dinner; the hotel takes adults only from fourteen upwards, which quietly settles the question of children. Pick it if the reason for marrying in Tenerife is the volcano rather than the beach.

Planning a wedding in Tenerife

The island splits in two climatically and it decides more than the photographs: trade winds bank cloud against the northern and north-western slopes, so Puerto de la Cruz, El Sauzal, Los Realejos and Garachico run greener, cooler and wetter than Costa Adeje, Arona and Arico, with the two halves roughly an hour apart by road. Nearly all international flights land at Tenerife South, close to the resort venues, while Tenerife North sits at 632 metres and is frequently the airport under the cloud — check which one your guests are booking before you commit to a side of the island. Rural venues here also carry hard finish times: Granja de Bastián stops at 00:30 and Finca Punta del Lomo runs to 02:00, so settle the cut-off before you book a band.

When to marry — May to September is the dry window — rainfall at Tenerife North falls from roughly 80 mm in November to under 10 mm in July and August — with May, June and September the most comfortable months for an outdoor dinner.
What it costs — Island venue directories list entry prices from around €2,000 for a small beach-club package near Los Cristianos and around €3,100 for a fifty-guest hotel wedding in Costa Adeje, but those figures buy the space and a set menu — whole-estate hires and the five-star resorts are quoted per wedding and land well above them.

Once the venue is settled, the next thing most couples deal with is telling everyone. A digital wedding invitation carries the address, a map, your timings and a live RSVP on one link — which matters more than usual when guests are travelling to Tenerife and need directions, and plenty of notice.

Questions

Marrying in Tenerife: your questions.

Can we legally get married in Tenerife if we live abroad?

Almost certainly not by civil ceremony. Spanish civil marriage in the Canaries requires one of you to be a Spanish national or to have held legal residency for at least two years, so the large majority of foreign couples complete the legal marriage at home — a registry office appointment before they fly — and hold a symbolic or blessing ceremony at the venue here. The one alternative open to non-residents is a Catholic wedding, which needs both of you to be Catholic with neither previously married, and paperwork sent from your own bishop to the parish in Tenerife; allow six months for it. Every venue on this list is accustomed to running a celebrant-led service rather than a legal one.

What does a wedding in Tenerife cost?

Island venue directories publish starting figures of roughly €2,000 for a small beach-club package near Los Cristianos and roughly €3,100 for a fifty-guest hotel wedding in Costa Adeje, but read those as floor prices covering the space and a set menu rather than a whole day. Whole-estate hires such as Hacienda El Terrero or Finca Punta del Lomo are quoted per wedding and swing sharply with how many nights you take the property. The five-star resorts price per head and sit well above both, and none of these numbers include flights or the room block, which on an island are a larger share of the total than couples expect.

Should we marry in the north or the south of the island?

It is mostly a weather and travel decision rather than an aesthetic one. Trade winds pile cloud against the northern and north-western slopes, so Puerto de la Cruz, El Sauzal, Garachico and Los Realejos are greener, cooler and considerably wetter than Costa Adeje, Arona and Arico; rainfall at Tenerife North averages around 80 mm in November against under 10 mm in July. The south is the safer bet for a fully outdoor day and sits nearer Tenerife South, where most international flights land. The north is where the older buildings are — the Hacienda de San Simón at El Sauzal, Casa de Ponte in Garachico — but insist on a covered alternative before you sign.

How far ahead should we book, and does the finish time matter?

Both matter more here than on the mainland. The island's rural venues are few and most hire exclusively, so Saturdays in the dry months go early — a year ahead is normal for the fincas and for any estate that needs a multi-night booking. Check the cut-off at the same moment you check the date, because it varies more than you would think: Granja de Bastián ends at 00:30, Finca Punta del Lomo runs to 02:00, and Hacienda El Terrero to 03:00. That single number decides whether you are planning a long lunch or a late party.
