Discover a special retreat in the south of Tenerife – the Ecohotel El Agua

The south of Tenerife is known for its sunny climate, breathtaking landscapes and a perfect blend of nature and culture. While many visitors head for the famous beaches such as Playa de las Américas and Costa Adeje, the south of the island offers much more - off the beaten track, there are hidden treasures that are deeply rooted in the island's history and nature.

Arico el Nuevo: A historical jewel

One of these hidden gems is the small village of Arico el Nuevo, which is considered a historical and cultural highlight of the south. Founded in the 18th century, Arico el Nuevo impresses with its well-preserved Canarian architecture and unique charm. A stroll through the narrow streets feels like travelling back in time. The whitewashed houses with their traditional wooden balconies, the tranquil atmosphere and the surrounding nature make Arico el Nuevo the perfect place for anyone who wants to escape the hustle and bustle of the coastal towns.

The village is not only historically significant, but also an ideal starting point for hikes through the surrounding mountains and gorges. The landscape around Arico is characterised by volcanic rock, pine forests and spectacular views of the Atlantic.

Ecohotel El Agua: sustainability and relaxation in nature

Just a few kilometres from Arico el Nuevo is the Ecohotel El Agua, a refuge for travellers seeking peace and nature in a sustainable environment. This charming ecohotel not only offers comfortable accommodation, but also a holistic approach to living in harmony with the environment. It is a prime example of sustainable tourism in Tenerife - from the use of renewable energy to the promotion of local products.

The hotel is the ideal place to switch off and unwind. Guests can take part in yoga sessions, relax in natural thermal baths or go hiking in the surrounding nature. The combination of comfort, nature and sustainability makes the Ecohotel El Agua a unique retreat on the island.
