There are nights when Bahía del Duque changes completely. The tropical gardens fill with shadows, the corridors hide secrets, and amid the Canarian-inspired architecture, something magical — and just a little spine-chilling — begins to unfold. From Saturday 24th to Saturday 31st October, the hotel unveils a full week of Halloween activities for children and families. Workshops, games, seasonal dining and a specially designed atmosphere across the gardens and indoor spaces await guests looking to enjoy the most delightfully spooky time of the calendar. Once again, our family-friendly hotel in Tenerife is preparing for one of the most eagerly awaited dates on our guests’ calendar.
A daily programme for the whole family
Throughout the week, the hotel’s activity programme offers drawing workshops, cookery classes, arts and crafts, and themed games designed especially for younger guests. Each day brings something new, gradually building the atmosphere towards the main event: Halloween night itself.
31st October: the big day
The most anticipated day arrives on Saturday 31st October, with a programme that blends tradition, creativity and spectacle.
In the morning, families can enjoy a pumpkin-carving workshop — a creative gathering where several generations, from parents and children to grandparents, can design their own Halloween pumpkin together.
Come the afternoon, one of the most popular moments of the week begins: the hotel transforms into a genuine haunted house, complete with atmospheric styling and a cast of professional actors bringing a host of characters to life. A fortune teller will delight guests with her predictions, while children are transformed into little monsters with themed face painting.
The evening culminates in a fireworks display over the Atlantic Ocean, lighting up the sky above Costa Adeje and providing the perfect finale to Halloween night at Bahía del Duque.
A unique setting to experience Halloween in Tenerife
Few places celebrate this festival quite like Bahía del Duque. Our tropical gardens, bridges and passageways, together with buildings inspired by nineteenth-century Canarian architecture, already create a dramatic, shadow-filled and mysterious backdrop perfectly suited to the occasion. As an iconic property and pioneer of luxury on the island, Bahía del Duque brings a distinct dimension to the celebration that sets it apart from a conventional hotel.
What’s more, while much of Europe is already settling into autumn, Halloween in Costa Adeje comes with mild temperatures of around 24°C. This means guests can enjoy Halloween festivities outdoors as well as beach days — a unique feature that makes Tenerife a particularly appealing destination at this time of year.
An experience for the palate, too
The celebration extends to the table as well, not only through themed cookery workshops but also through Bahía del Duque’s renowned culinary offering, home to a collection of restaurants each with its own personality — including Nub, awarded a Michelin Star and two Soles Repsol. Seven of the hotel’s ten restaurants offer children’s menus, so that both little ones and adults can enjoy a touch of gourmet dining.
Cristina de Juan, General Manager of Bahía del Duque, sums up the spirit of the celebration: “Halloween is one of the most eagerly anticipated dates of the year for the families who visit us. Every detail, from the decoration to the activities, is designed so that both children and adults can enjoy a shared experience, with the quality and personalised service that define Bahía del Duque.”
Horror fans have a date every 31st October — discover how we celebrate it at Bahía del Duque and experience that special night with us in the south of Tenerife.
