Luz Del Mar

Luz Del Mar Overview

First Impressions

When I first pulled up to Luz Del Mar, I honestly wasn’t expecting much from this four-star spot in Los Silos — but you know what, sometimes the quieter places surprise you the most. The hotel sits right on Avda. Sibora, and there’s something immediately calming about the whole setup. It’s not flashy or trying too hard, just this clean, welcoming place that feels like it actually cares about getting things right. The parking situation is a dream too — completely free, which is honestly rare these days, especially when you’re this close to the coast.

Location & Neighborhood

Los Silos is one of those Tenerife towns that most tourists skip, and that’s actually part of its charm. You’re on the quieter northwest coast here, away from the madness of the southern resorts, but still close enough to everything that matters. The natural pools are just a short walk away — I mean, we’re talking about some of the most beautiful volcanic rock formations you’ll see on the island. Couples seem to really get this location (they rate it 8.5, which makes total sense), because there’s something romantic about having this stretch of coastline mostly to yourselves.

The Room Experience

My room was simple but thoughtfully done — clean lines, decent space, and a view that actually made me stop unpacking for a minute. The beds are comfortable enough that I didn’t wake up with that hotel-bed backache, and the bathroom had good water pressure, which honestly matters more than fancy marble when you’re washing off a day of exploring. What I appreciated most was how quiet everything was — you can actually hear the ocean instead of traffic or other guests stomping around above you.

Breakfast & Dining

The buffet breakfast here is solid without being anything revolutionary. Fresh local fruits, decent coffee, and enough variety that you won’t get bored if you’re staying for several days. I actually found myself looking forward to it each morning, which says something — hotel breakfasts can be pretty hit or miss. The restaurant area has these big windows that let in all this natural light, so you’re not eating in some dark, windowless cave like at some places.

Why Guests Love It

Look, Luz Del Mar isn’t trying to be the fanciest place on Tenerife, and that’s exactly why it works so well. Recent guests consistently rate the location highly (8.6 out of 10), and I get it — you’re getting authentic Canary Islands without the tourist circus. The staff actually seems to enjoy their jobs, which creates this relaxed atmosphere that’s hard to fake. If you want to experience a different side of Tenerife, somewhere you can actually unwind and explore the island’s natural beauty without fighting crowds, this place delivers on that promise.
