Bahía del Duque Hotel
History & Story
Hotel Bahía del Duque opened on the 20th of November, 1993. Located in Costa Adeje, in the south of the island of Tenerife (Canary Islands), its opening marked a true revolution in the Islands’ tourism sector. Bahía del Duque was the first luxury hotel in Tenerife and a model of success that has marked the subsequent tourist development of the Archipielago. More than 30 years later, the Hotel remains a benchmark for luxury, exclusivity, and impeccable service. Designed by renowned local architect Andrés Piñeiro, Bahía del Duque recreates a small traditional 19th-century village featuring low-rise independent houses that depart from the concept of tall, bulky tourist buildings. Bahía del Duque is part of The Tais Hotels & Villas and is owned by Grupo CIO, a Canarian family-run company with over 120 years of experience across different sectors of the Canarian market.
Development Strategy
The hotel continuously strives to remain one of the most emblematic and iconic hotels on the island. Bahía del Duque has truly been a pioneer in many areas, being the first hotel in Tenerife to offer private villas with plunge pools, as well as Casas Ducales – an exclusive concept featuring personalised attention and premium services.
Date Renovation
The hotel is undergoing continuous renovation. The most recent update took place in 2024, when several rooms and outdoor areas – such as La Placita and the terrace of our restaurant, El Bernegal – were refurbished . All the work was carried out in-house by our Image Team. In 2025, the hotel will continue with the redecoration of various rooms, and a new restaurant is set to open on the promenade.
Date Added Extansions
In 2008 Las Villas were built and in 2009 Bahía Wellness Retreat was opened.
