Bahía del Duque, a luxury hotel in Costa Adeje, Tenerife, has been named winner of the Best Resort in Europe & the Mediterranean category at the Condé Nast Johansens Awards for Excellence 2027. This latest accolade adds to the recognition the hotel has received in recent months from the Michelin Guide, the World Travel Awards, the World Luxury Hotel Awards and the Culinary Hotel Awards.
A benchmark award in luxury hospitality
Bahía del Duque has been honoured in the Best Resort in Europe & the Mediterranean category at the Condé Nast Johansens Awards for Excellence 2027. This is a particularly meaningful distinction for the hospitality industry, as the winners are chosen by the readers of this prestigious travel guide through their votes. It is also a very special award, which highlights this iconic Tenerife hotel within a region that brings together some of the world’s leading holiday destinations.
“This is an award we share with our entire team, and one that encourages us to continue providing our guests with the warm, attentive service and attention to detail that define us,” says Cristina de Juan, General Manager of Bahía del Duque.
De Juan collected the award alongside Ane Ugarte, Sales & Marketing Director, and Raúl de la Rosa, Brand Director, at the ceremony held in London on 2 November 2026.
Michelin Key 2026
For the third consecutive year, the Michelin Guide has renewed Bahía del Duque’s Michelin Key. This distinction celebrates some of the world’s most exceptional hotels, based on five universal criteria: architecture and interior design; quality and consistency of service; the hotel’s character and personality; value for money; and its meaningful contribution to its surroundings. This latest recognition reinforces Bahía del Duque’s position as a benchmark for luxury hospitality in the Canary Islands.
World Travel Awards 2026
The World Travel Awards have also recently recognised Bahía del Duque as Spain’s Leading Beach Resort 2026, placing the hotel at the forefront of the country’s leading beachfront resorts.
Culinary Hotel Awards 2026
For their part, the Culinary Hotel Awards, which celebrate gastronomic excellence and hospitality across the Canary Islands, have recognised our culinary offering and the people behind it in their 2026 edition, with the following awards:
- Mejor Cocina Internacional: Kensei.
- Mejor Directora de Hotel: Cristina de Juan.
- Mejor Chef Ejecutivo: Juan Miguel Cabrera.
World Luxury Hotel Awards 2026
These accolades are joined by our recognition at the 2026 World Luxury Hotel Awards, where we were distinguished in three categories:
- Best Luxury Island Resort in Europe.
- Best Luxury Family Resort in Spain.
- Best Luxury Beachfront Resort in Southern Europe.
These three awards celebrate Bahía del Duque’s unique offering as a luxury destination for families, set in a privileged seafront location in southern Europe.
“Behind every award is a committed team and, above all, guests who return year after year and choose us for their holidays,” adds Cristina de Juan.
Bahía del Duque at London’s WTM
The Condé Nast Johansens recognition comes at a special moment, during our participation in London’s World Travel Market, one of the leading international events in the travel industry, where, as every year, we have presented our hospitality offering and range of guest experiences.
The Bahía del Duque experience begins with a setting that has a character all of its own. Opened by the sea in 1993, the hotel pays tribute to Canarian heritage through its colonial-style architecture, the uniforms worn by its team, inspired by the island’s traditional dress, and its gardens, where native plant species create an inviting setting in which to unwind and linger.
This is complemented by a gastronomic offering spanning ten restaurants, including Nub, which holds one Michelin star.
Wellbeing takes centre stage at Bahía Wellness Retreat, where an open-air thalassotherapy circuit and carefully designed rituals offer the perfect opportunity to switch off and recharge.
Every guest can enjoy the resort in their own way. Families can make the most of experiences designed for every generation, while those seeking privacy and seclusion can find their own sanctuary in the exclusive surroundings of our villas, each with a private plunge pool.
