Tenerife<\/a> is a jewel of the Atlantic, renowned for its natural beauty, privileged climate, and rich culture. At Bah\u00eda del Duque, where sustainability plays a key role, we offer you the opportunity to connect with this island in a conscious and respectful way, through an experience that embraces its tradition, heritage, and unique nature.<\/p>\n

Tenerife: A natural paradise worth protecting<\/h2>\n

\u00a9Turismo de Tenerife<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Tenerife is a sanctuary of biodiversity thanks to its variety of microclimates and natural habitats. From the majestic Teide National Park to the lush Anaga mountains, the island is home to around 1,400 plant species, including about 200 Canary Islands endemics and 140 unique to Tenerife.<\/p>\n

The fauna is also rich and diverse, with around 400 fish species, 56 bird species, 5 reptiles species, 2 amphibians species, 13 mammals species and several thousand invertebrates species, as well as some species of sea turtles and cetaceans.<\/p>\n

We invite you to discover this biodiversity on a sustainable journey<\/strong> through environmentally friendly activities, such as hiking along marked trails, whale-watching excursions with certified operators, and visits to organic farms where local products are grown.<\/p>\n

Craftsmanship and tradition: Living culture supporting responsible tourism<\/h2>\n

Travelling responsibly also means immersing yourself in local traditions. In Tenerife, craftsmanship holds a special place. Our team of experience creators will help you organise visits to workshops where wickerwork, ceramics, and embroidery are crafted, giving you the chance to discover the history and culture behind these ancestral practices.<\/p>\n

Local markets such as those in La Laguna and the Tegueste Farmer\u2019s Market, as well as numerous craft fairs, are ideal places to acquire unique products that directly support Tenerife\u2019s artisan communities and its farmers and ranchers.<\/p>\n

Gastronomy with its own identity: farm-to-table flavours<\/h2>\n

Canarian cuisine is a true reflection of its culture and surroundings. At our hotel you will find a gastronomic offer that is committed to local produce, many of which come from traditional and sustainable farming.<\/p>\n

Savour artisanal cheeses, volcanic wines, and other local products while enjoying a gastronomic experience truly connected to our roots, one that cares for the environment and supports the local economy.<\/p>\n
