Condé Nast Traveller UK Readers’ Choice Awards 2025

On 7 October 2025, Bahía del Duque was ranked among the best resorts in Europe in the renowned Readers’ Choice Awards by Condé Nast Traveller UK, securing 24th place.

Voted for by the magazine’s readers, these awards reflect the genuine experiences of guests who choose Bahía del Duque for their holidays. Inclusion on this international list highlights the hotel’s excellence in hospitality, gastronomy, and exclusive experiences.

World Travel Awards 2025

On 22 October 2025, Bahía del Duque was named Spain’s Leading Beach Resort 2025 at the World Travel Awards, one of the tourism industry’s most prestigious global accolades.

Often referred to as the “Oscars of tourism”, the awards recognise the best hotels and destinations each year, based on the opinions of both professionals and travellers.

This distinction positions Bahía del Duque as a benchmark among beach hotels in Spain, thanks to its exceptional service, luxury facilities, and privileged location on the Atlantic coast, with direct access to two stunning beaches.

Condé Nast Johansens Awards for Excellence 2026

Recently, on 3 November 2025, Bahía del Duque was announced as a winner in the Condé Nast Johansens Awards for Excellence 2026, in the Readers’ Award category, during a gala held at the Kimpton Fitzroy London Hotel, ahead of the World Travel Market.

This recognition highlights the innovation and quality of the world’s leading independent hotels.

“Being part of these awards confirms, once again, our team’s commitment to excellence and our unwavering passion for creating unique experiences for our guests,” says Cristina de Juan, General Manager of the hotel.

Michelin Key 2025

After becoming one of the first hotels in the world to achieve it in 2024, Bahía del Duque has renewed its Michelin Key for the second consecutive year — a distinction awarded by the prestigious Michelin Guide to the world’s most exceptional hotels.

The inspectors praised its impeccable service, marvellous seafront location, design inspired by traditional Canarian architecture, and its outstanding culinary and wellness offering.

This distinction, regarded as the hospitality equivalent of the Michelin Stars, reaffirms Bahía del Duque as a benchmark of luxury in the Canary Islands.

Bahía Wellness Retreat: an internationally awarded spa

Within the Bahía del Duque universe, the Bahía Wellness Retreat spa has become a global reference for wellness and relaxation. Its concept combines the serenity of the surroundings with exclusive treatments developed in collaboration with renowned high-end cosmetic brands such as Biologique Recherche and CellCosmet.

Its remarkable facilities, featuring a spectacular outdoor thalassotherapy circuit alongside a comprehensive 360-degree wellness programme—including physiotherapy, personalised training, and more—have earned the spa numerous international awards.

Thanks to its innovation and quality, the Bahía Wellness Retreat ranks among the best hotel spas in Europe, receiving recognition in leading guides and establishing itself as a must-visit destination for guests seeking first-class experiences. A clear example of this is the recent nomination of Bahía del Duque for the 2026 Luxury Spa Edit Awards in the category of Best Spa Resort – Spain, placing it among the finest wellness retreats in the country. Voting is open until 30 January 2026 through the official awards website.

Over 100 awards throughout its history

The achievements of 2025 add to an extensive track record of more than a hundred awards. Over the years, Bahía del Duque has been recognised across multiple categories for its hospitality, service excellence, architecture, culinary offerings, and commitment to sustainability.

This legacy has established the hotel as a true icon of luxury tourism in the Canaries and worldwide.
