El balcón de Bajamar

El balcón de Bajamar Overview

First Impressions

When I first climbed up to the third floor of this residential building in Bajamar, I honestly wasn’t sure what to expect from El balcón de Bajamar. But the moment the door opened, I knew this four-star apartment-style hotel was something special. The name says it all — you’re literally staying on a balcony overlooking the Atlantic, and the views are absolutely stunning. It’s one of those places where you immediately understand why couples rate the location so highly (9.3 out of 10, which makes total sense once you’re there).

The Setting

Bajamar isn’t your typical tourist hotspot, and that’s exactly what makes El balcón de Bajamar so appealing. You’re perched on Tenerife’s northern coast where the waves crash dramatically against the natural pools below — I mean, you can literally watch the ocean from your window while having morning coffee. The location feels authentically Canarian rather than resort-touristy, which I really appreciated. Plus, there’s free parking right there, which anyone who’s driven around the Canary Islands will tell you is worth its weight in gold.

The Space

What struck me most about staying here was how it feels like borrowing a friend’s perfectly appointed apartment rather than checking into a hotel. The space is thoughtfully designed with that refined touch you’d expect from a four-star property, but it maintains this wonderful residential authenticity. The balcony — which is really the star of the show — becomes your private viewing platform for some of the most dramatic coastline scenery I’ve seen in the Canaries. You know what’s great? You can actually spread out here, cook if you want to, and live like a local for a few days.

Why the Location Works

I get why recent guests rated the location 9.2 out of 10 — it’s that sweet spot between accessibility and tranquility. You’re close enough to explore the rest of Tenerife (the highway connections are actually pretty good), but far enough from the crowds to feel like you’ve discovered something special. The natural swimming pools of Bajamar are right below you, and honestly, watching locals and visitors navigate those volcanic rock formations never gets old. It’s particularly magical in the evening when the light hits the water just right.

Why Guests Love It

With a 9.6 rating, El balcón de Bajamar clearly hits the mark for most visitors, and I can see why. It’s that rare combination of spectacular natural setting, thoughtful accommodations, and genuine local character that’s hard to find these days. The fact that couples especially love it makes sense — there’s something inherently romantic about having your own private perch above the Atlantic. You’re not just staying somewhere; you’re experiencing a slice of authentic Canarian coastal life, complete with the sound of waves and that incredible ocean air that makes you sleep better than you have in months.

Hotels in Tenerife offer visitors the opportunity to stay in the heart of the Canary Islands’ most popular destination, with easy access to golden beaches, vibrant nightlife, and renowned attractions like Teide National Park.
