Hotel Rural La Correa del Almendro & Bubble Experience – Adults Only

Hotel Description

Look, I’ll be honest – when I first pulled up to Hotel Rural La Correa del Almendro, I wasn’t sure what to expect. The name alone is a mouthful, and finding it on Camino Real De Altavista took some doing since GPS gets a bit wonky in this part of Arona. But once you’re there, you get it. This place sits tucked away from the typical tourist chaos, up in the hills where you can actually hear yourself think. The whole “adults only” thing isn’t just marketing speak either – it genuinely feels like a retreat from the world, which is exactly what you want when you’re trying to decompress from whatever brought you to Tenerife in the first place.

The bubble experience is what really sets this place apart, though honestly, I was skeptical at first. I mean, how different can a transparent dome really be? Turns out, pretty different. There’s something almost surreal about lying in bed watching the stars through clear walls, especially when you’re surrounded by almond trees (hence the name, which finally made sense). The staff actually knows when the best stargazing nights are – they’ll casually mention if it’s going to be cloudy or if you’re in for a clear sky. Small touch, but it matters. The regular rooms are solid too, nothing fancy but clean and comfortable with that rustic charm that feels authentic rather than forced. You know what surprised me? How quiet it gets at night. Coming from the busier coastal areas, the silence up here is almost jarring at first, but in the best possible way.

What really won me over was how the place feels genuinely local rather than resort-ified. The breakfast features actual Canarian products – not just the usual international buffet nonsense – and the owners seem to know every hiking trail within a twenty-kilometer radius. They pointed me toward this incredible viewpoint about fifteen minutes up the hill that I never would have found otherwise. The 8.7 rating makes sense when you consider it’s not trying to be everything to everyone. Sure, it’s technically a 3-star place, but that rating system doesn’t really capture what makes a hotel memorable. If you’re looking for a pool complex and nightly entertainment, this isn’t your spot. But if you want somewhere that feels like a discovery rather than a booking, somewhere you can actually disconnect while still being close enough to explore the island, then this little gem tucked away in the Arona hills might just surprise you the way it surprised me.

Reviews

• Great place – Iulian from Romania – 24 May 2025 (10/10)

  It was pleasant and relaxing.
  The staff is friendly, and the location is perfect, making it great to see the sun set.
  Food ok, but delicious.
  Highly recommend
  
  What could be improved: Bad network service in the room
  A bit odd with the wi-fi

• Exceptional – Malgorzata from Poland – 15 April 2025 (10/10)

  Absolutely amazing stay! This was hands down the best hotel experience of our entire 10-day road trip around Tenerife. We stayed in a different place each night, and this one stood out as the highlight. The host was incredibly warm and welcoming, taking the time to share the fascinating history of the property with us.
  
  We were lucky to be upgraded to a beautiful suite since it wasn’t occupied — such a thoughtful gesture that made our final night even more special. The food was exceptional, especially those unforgettable mozzarella balls with truffles — to die for! Every detail of our stay was just perfect.
  
  A truly charming place with heart, hospitality, and flavor. We can’t wait to come back!

• Great place and friendly managers – Patrice from Belgium – 29 March 2025 (8/10)

  Warm welcome from the Italian managers😍
  The place is wonderful, perfectly maintained.
  The barrel room is amazing.
  
  What could be improved: Poor breakfast, very basic I’m afraid.
  We could expect a great ristretto, you’ll get a Thermos jug😢

• Amazing experience, highly recommend the barrel! – Lewis from United Kingdom – 27 March 2025 (10/10)

  Awesome experience, we absolutely loved the barrel. Awesome view, great bathroom and bed all tucked into a really cool wooden barrel. All surrounded with a private garden with two loungers, a table and chairs plus a hammock to enjoy the sunshine.
  
  Hosts were friendly and attentive, great food and wine, overall a fantastic stay which I would highly recommend.

• Very good – Susan from United Kingdom – 13 March 2025 (8/10)

  Friendly helpful staff. Good evening meal. Beautiful views

• Andromeda was an experience! – Victoria from United Kingdom – 11 March 2025 (9/10)

  Andromeda was an experience! I loved the retreat vibe, it looked like we were alone in the middle of no where. The jacuzzi was relaxing and heated. The bed comfy. We opted for a dinner at the hotel which was also really tasty. The staff extremely friendly – shoutout to Vittoria!
  Lucky us we experienced sleeping under the stars, a sudden but refreshing rain and the sunrise and its beautiful colours.
  
  What could be improved: No instructions on how to use the telescope 🙁

• Barrel – a nice experience – Jerome from Switzerland – 23 February 2025 (9/10)

  I chose the "Barrel" room, which is really one of a kind : cylindrical shape and a huge window aimed south, as well as two private lying chairs. This and the lovely private access path makes it secluded.
  As well, the access road to the hotel is narrow (car essential, though) but has therefore little traffic. No noise around to mention but the A/C you may have to use to heat up the room at night (which can be cold).
  To be specific, I was alone in that small room and that made my 4-night stay very pleasant. You may find it too small or unpractical for two people or prefer a shorter stay, then… Thank you Andrea & the team for the stunning place !

• Superb – Marilyn from United Kingdom – 22 February 2025 (9/10)

  An idyllic spot just 20mins up from Los Cristianos..They have paid attention to lots of detail to make it so different from a usual hotel. This small quaint hotel would be a cooler retreat on hot days. They make superb pasta! We had hand made Sacchettoni..like little pouches. They were filled with fresh pear and mozzarella,.topped with sauce of gorganzola, cream and topped with parmesan.! An enthusiastic Italian family run the hotel. Seriously recommend you try it. We plan to return.
  
  What could be improved: Would be tricky for folk struggling with mobility. Lots of steps. A car is needed as it is miles from any public transport and a long way for taxis. No shops or restaurants nearby….but that makes it special. On a seriously steep road…very picturesque but would make cycling or hiking only for the experienced.

• Enchanting stay with stunning views and exceptional hospitality. – Carolina from Italy – 23 January 2025 (10/10)

  I absolutely loved my stay at Hotel Rural La Correa del Almendro & Bubble Experience. The location is simply breathtaking—nestled in nature, with the ocean on one side and the mountains on the other. It’s the perfect place to disconnect and immerse yourself in tranquility.
  There is the opportunity to stargaze at night and to create an incredibly romantic atmosphere. And for those who are early risers, the sunrise behind the mountains is truly spectacular, making it a wonderful way to start the day.
  The staff were absolutely fantastic—Andrea and Cecilia were incredibly kind and helpful, making us feel right at home.
  I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful and unique escape!
