Observing stars in Tenerife is one of the most impressive experiences that can be lived in Europe. At the Hotel Spa Villalba, located in Vilaflor, at 1,500 meters above sea level in the forest crown of Teide, this activity becomes much more than an astronomical visit: it is a deep connection with nature, silence, and the night sky.
As one of the most recognized astrotourism hotels in the south of Tenerife, Spa Villalba offers an environment free of light pollution, with unique atmospheric conditions that allow enjoying the Milky Way, visible constellations, and planets all year round.
The sky of Tenerife: a Starlight treasure.
Tenerife is a certified Starlight Destination, which means that its sky is protected by its astronomical quality and absence of light pollution.
Thanks to its location in the subtropical Atlantic and the atmospheric stability of Teide, the island has more than 300 clear nights a year, ideal for astronomical observation.
From Vilaflor, the Hotel Spa Villalba offers a privileged perspective of the firmament, without urban interferences or artificial noises.
Every night, the sky transforms into a living map where Orion, Andromeda, the Pleiades, the Southern Cross, or the brightness of Venus and Jupiter can be identified.
Here, astronomy intertwines with serenity: not only do you observe stars, you experience the cosmos from the calm of the Canarian forest.
Vilaflor and Teide: a natural balcony to the universe.
Vilaflor de Chasna, the highest municipality in Spain, is a strategic point for astrotourism in Tenerife. At 1,500 meters above sea level, its altitude offers cleaner and drier air, optimal conditions for celestial bodies’ vision.
The Teide National Park, visible from the hotel’s surroundings, acts as an imposing natural observatory.
The forest crown that surrounds Spa Villalba creates an unparalleled setting where Canarian pines filter the wind and envelop every experience in silence.
Here, each observation becomes a meditation: the sound of nature replaces words, and the stars feel closer than ever.
Hotel Spa Villalba: a unique astrotourism experience.
The Hotel Spa Villalba has turned star observation into one of its flagship activities. Combining the precision of astronomy with its wellness philosophy, the hotel proposes nights designed to contemplate the sky, relax, and reconnect with nature.
- Optimal altitude (1,500 m): perfect for observing without light pollution.
- Location in the Teide forest crown: guarantees total darkness and absolute silence.
- Stable climate all year round: ideal visibility during all seasons.

Sky and wellness: the perfect connection.
Stargazing at Spa Villalba is not just a nighttime activity: it is a natural extension of the wellness that defines the hotel.
After a spa session, a relaxing massage, or a light dinner at Restaurante La Vendimia, guests can participate in the Starry Night Experience, which combines science, relaxation, and inner connection.
This holistic approach turns observation into a practice of mindfulness in nature, where body and mind synchronize with the rhythm of the universe. Looking at the sky becomes a way to meditate, to feel human smallness and greatness in the same moment.
