There are recognitions that are not achieved with campaigns or marketing strategies. The Tripadvisor Traveller’s Choice is one of them: it is awarded by real travelers, with their opinions, their ratings, and their direct experience.
This 2026, Hotel Spa Villalba has been distinguished with this award, placing itself in the top 10% of the best hotels in the world.
What does the 2026 Tripadvisor Traveller’s Choice mean.
The Traveller’s Choice Award from Tripadvisor analyzes millions of verified reviews from travelers around the world to identify establishments that consistently offer an exceptional experience over time.
Entering the top 10% worldwide is, therefore, a real and direct validation of the perceived quality by the guests themselves. Surprising attention, a breakfast with views of the Canary pine trees, a spa that makes you forget the outside world are the most highlighted comments.
For Hotel Spa Villalba, being recognized in this category in 2026 means consolidating a trajectory that the team has built with a clear purpose: to offer authentic well-being in a natural environment that already invites you to disconnect.
Why Vilaflor makes the difference.
Located in Vilaflor, at 1,400 meters above sea level in the south of Tenerife, the hotel occupies a privileged point between the Corona Forestal of Teide. The air is clean, the temperature is cool even in summer, and the Canary pines create that particular silence that is only found at this altitude.
This natural context is not a backdrop: it is part of the well-being experience. Many guests arrive seeking active disconnection and find that Vilaflor has something difficult to describe: the feeling of being far from everything without being far from anything.
Less than half an hour by car from Los Cristianos, the hotel acts as an accessible refuge for weekend getaways and multiday trips. And all this without sacrificing the comfort of an establishment that has been chosen by thousands of travelers as a benchmark of quality.
The spa and well-being: the heart of the hotel.
The recognition from Tripadvisor is not alien to one of the hotel’s differential assets: its spa area. With sauna, jacuzzi, and semi-covered pool with views of the natural surroundings, the Hotel Spa Villalba spa is designed for deep relaxation.
Unlike large urban spas, here the proposal is based on the calm of the environment. The silence that enters through the windows, the natural light filtered between the trees, and the feeling of relaxation create a combination that is hard to forget.
For stays with access to the spa, we recommend checking the options of gift vouchers on our website, where you will find combinations designed for you to make the most of your getaway.
Elevated gastronomy: Canarian and Mediterranean cuisine.
Another pillar that travelers highlight in their reviews is the hotel’s gastronomic proposal. In the Restaurante La Vendimia, you will find a menu composed of traditional cuisine recipes with local ingredients, always with quality raw materials and careful preparations.
Local meats, artisan desserts, a selection of wines and cheeses make up an incomparable setting in Vilaflor, being the perfect scenario for a couple’s dinner or a leisurely evening.
The restaurant is available for both guests and external visitors, and the menu varies according to the season to incorporate the best products of each time of the year.
Active nature in the Teide environment.
Hotel Spa Villalba is not just about passive rest. Its location makes it an ideal base for exploring the Corona Forestal of the Teide National Park and the trails surrounding Vilaflor.
From the hotel, you can access hiking trails of various levels, from walks among the Canary pines suitable for all audiences to more demanding ascents with Teide as the final destination. If you are planning your visit, in our activities and environment section, you will find practical information about the most recommended trails and how to organize your day.
The combination of spa, nature, altitude is precisely what makes a stay here different from the average. There are no two identical days in Vilaflor, and that is something that travelers who have left their review on Tripadvisor know well.
An adults-only hotel: the quality of silence.
Hotel Spa Villalba is an exclusive hotel for adults. This choice is not accidental: it is designed for those seeking a real rest space, without the inevitable interruptions of family hotels.
With 27 rooms, the hotel maintains a small size that allows for personalized attention and a quiet atmosphere in all its common areas.
If you are considering a couple’s getaway or a personal wellness retreat, this format has a clear advantage over large resorts: here, it is evident that every guest matters.
