Top 5 best hotels to stay at in La Orotava

La Orotava is a charming town in the province of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, in the Canary Islands. This Spanish island is closely linked to tourism. To give you a rough idea, almost 16 million tourists visited the Canaries in 2023, while the overall population of the island is 2.2 million. Tourism accounts for 35% of the Canary Islands’ GDP, and 40% of jobs are linked to tourism. So there’s no shortage of facilities to help you enjoy a pleasant stay in the sunshine. La Orotava is known for its lush gardens, unique wooden balconies, banana plantations and slopes. Yes, the city is not flat. It lies at an altitude of almost 400 metres, at the foot of the Teide Natural Park. We strongly advise you to hire a car to visit the most beautiful spots on the island and in La Orotava.
