This home is a rare find – it has a peaceful and private setting, and yet it's just a few minutes walk from the historic city of La Orotava. Surrounded by a plantation of avocados, relax on the multiple terraces (five no less), cool off from the Tenerife sun in the infinity waterfall pool with its Atlantic Ocean vistas or unwind in the hot tub. 

We love the professionally designed gardens – our favourite spot is the yoga/meditation corner –  very zen. There's a fantastic outdoor kitchen, too – cook up a feast while you enjoy the fabulous views of Mount Teide, the forests and hills. As sunset arrives, pick some mint for your mojitos from the herb garden or feel free to pick a lemon for your G&T. As the light continues to fade, gather around the designer fire pit. 

Or, on cooler evenings, cosy up in front of the wood-burning stove indoors. Here, you'll find gorgeous beamed, vaulted ceilings, as well as original pictures and sculptures.

There's plenty to do out and about too. Hire a bike and explore the terrain (many professional cycling teams train here). If you prefer something a bit less energetic, there are three golf courses within easy reach, including one designed by Seve Ballestros. The nearest beach is 3 kilometres away, along with the popular resort beaches and Lido in Puerto de la Cruz, while La Orotava has an array of cafes, shops, bars and restaurants within walking distance.

Surrounded by palm trees and greenery, this Tenerife home transports you to scenes of South East Asia; an exotic paradise alive with botanica. Your own terracotta temple worships nature to the fullest, with hidden coves of seated areas, terraces, a pond, and trickling fountain. Alongside the tranquil beauty, the outdoors comes with a touch of fun and games too, boasting a children’s playhouse and flat lawn for a kick about. There’s a stone patio with a built-in barbecue for outdoor dining and a pool to dive straight into. Inside, wooden floors and ceilings, a tiled kitchen, and exposed beams carry that rustic feel. A balcony runs the entire length of the house, fringed with old-world wooden railings. Within walking distance, the shops, restaurants, bars, and supermarkets of La Orotava beckon, as does the beauty and history of Unesco World Heritage site, El Parque Nacional de las Canadas del Tiede.

Situated within a villa complex less than ten minutes' drive from Maspolamas, this recently renovated home will sing to those fond of contemporary design.

Large windows and glass doors bring plenty of natural light into the interior and this asset works particularly well with the wealth of reflective surfaces and stark white walls. There's a preference for minimalism in everything from the sleek kitchen to the pared-back approach to decoration, and we think the host has nailed it.

Besides, you might not actually be spending all that much time indoors, what with the swimming pool out in the garden, along with the barbecue and covered terrace complete with a lounge and alfresco dining table. Here, it's welcomingly easy to make the most of Gran Canaria's year-round warmth.

Elsewhere in the complex, there's a golf course 200m away from the home, as well as entertainment for children and a couple of shops and restaurants. You can also reach many of the beaches that run along the southern coastline of the island in under ten minutes' drive, while the Dunes of Maspalomas don't take much longer, either.

Balcony / Rooftop Terrace

You've got the best of both worlds at this contemporary villa, set within one of Gran Canaria's most exclusive golf retreats and just an eight-minute drive from expansive golden sands and rolling dunes of Maspalomas beach and Playa del Inglés.

Friends getting together for a holiday will love how spacious this home feels, with two bedrooms spaced apart across the two-storey villa and offering up private shower rooms and direct access to suntrap verandas. But it's that outdoor terrace downstairs with a private heated pool and views of the fairways and mountains beyond that's caught our attention – it's the perfect spot to toast the day with drinks and a barbecue.

When it's time to hit the fairways of the resort's 18-hole golf course, it's just a 200-metre shot away. However, you don't need to be a dab hand with the clubs to enjoy the perks of this resort. Located on the grounds of a luxurious hotel complex, there are plenty of activities to keep the kids entertained (for an additional fee) – think playroom, playground, and kids club. And a spa and shared sunset infinity pool and bar for post-game relaxation. When thoughts turn to food, book yourself a table at the resort's renowned brasserie or mooch into Maspalomas for the evening at one of its smart seafront tavernas.

The interior is formed by deluxe furnishings and the outdoor space is decorated in cute seating spots – this cosy villa is an oasis of comfort in every aspect. 

For the days where you just fancy chilling indoors, there are three smart TV's and a vibrant open-plan living space to relax. Wander into the colourful garden and you'll feel like you're truly on holiday. A pool is tucked around the corner and snug seating spots shape the area. 

On the warm, sunny afternoons, the pool is an idyllic spot to bask under the gentle rays. Grab a drink from the fridge to cool down, or immerse in a sunbathing session on the sun beds. Come the evening, share tapas, paella and a bottle of wine on the outdoor dining table. 

When the sun sets on the colourful outdoors, snuggle up in a cushioned seat to watch the sky turn a dusty red. You can even head to the beach for sunset – or any time you fancy – for a dreamy summer setting. And of course, there's a world-class golf-course on the resort that's waiting to be discovered.

Ping Pong Table

This sparkling villa is tailor-made for large families or groups of friends looking for private luxury in rural Gran Canaria. Blessed with tranquility and boasting a fun-filled games room, it has the vibe of a five-star hotel that's reserved just for you. 

A huge open-plan living space – decorated in white walls and with tinges of colour on the furniture – is perfect for spending time as one group. However, when the sun sets on the terracotta tiles, you probably want to spend time outdoors. 

The huge terrace is adorned by intimate seating areas, comfy sun beds and, of course, the glistening pool. Every member of the group can fit in the pool, making it an idyllic spot for games of volleyball or water polo. Continuing the competitive side, get the rallies going during table tennis or practice your shooing at table football. 

Come the peace of the evening, there are two cute dining tables on the terrace, perfect for sharing tapas and a bottle of Cava. If you wanted to get out and discover the island, the charming restaurants and bars of Maspalomas are just a short drive away.

The Sauza

Hit rest and reset with Gran Canaria's year-round sunshine and vast golden shores at this smart townhouse offering up direct access to the sheltered beaches of Playa Pasito Blanco in a quiet residential complex.

Spend lazy, hazy mornings by the sandy beach, then beat the heat with a cooling dip in the complex's palm-fringed shared pool. There are sea view cabanas if the urge for a cheeky siesta takes over. Or head home for drinks on your private terrace overlooking the shared pool. 

Inside, you'll love the crisp, contemporary interiors that unite this three-storey townhouse. The place dazzles from top to toe in crisp white, while nautical stripes remind you the deep blue sea is never far away.

While grown-ups can have that top floor suite with a private terrace all to themselves – the perfect spot for peaceful morning coffees to kickstart your day.

If little ones are still full of beans after a day at the beach, the shared playground will keep them happy. Then mosey down to the marina (a five-minute stroll) to gawp at the superyachts before dinner at one of the complex's restaurants. Or, for something a little buzzier, jump in the car for an evening in Meloneras (a five-minute drive). The beach bars and grill restaurants lining the Paseo de las Meloneras waterfront are just the spot for soaking up the sunsets.

The Dune Prince

Throws

Overlooking a lush green golf course and the sparkling Atlantic Ocean, this nectarine-coloured villa is the definition of a tropical escape. We could spend all day here lolling about on the terrace, admiring those views – all that's missing is a refreshing cocktail and a magazine. For catnaps in the fresh air, there's no better spot than the Balinese bed, while the heated swimming pool is the perfect place to cool off on sweltering summer afternoons. The whole villa faces west to make the most of the sunshine – as such, it's no surprise that the sunsets here are pretty spectacular. We think they pair best with grilled seafood (locally sourced, of course) and a bottle of Gran Canarian white wine, all enjoyed alfresco as the night rolls in.

When you're ready for adventure, you won't need to travel far. Enjoy a day on the links at the complex's golf course – you'll receive a special discount – or treat yourself to dinner and drinks at the restaurants on-site. Fancy a beach day?

Inside, a calm, natural colour palette and a chic, minimalist decor will put you immediately at ease in the open-plan living space. We love the collection of leafy houseplants that brings that island feeling inside, as well as the large windows proferring ocean views. Kick back on the sofa with one of the books on the shelves or slide open the glass doors here to step out onto a private terrace. Equipped with a shaded dining table and chairs, as well as a barbecue, this is where you’ll want to gather for celebratory alfresco meals while feasting on the stunning views.

Go off-grid for a while at this swoon-worthy casa perched amidst the hills of the charming town of Tejeda. Outside, this home may look like a traditional Finca. But step inside, and there’s nothing twee about this stylish abode. Creative types will love the boho feel about this place. Rustic, natural hues provide a subtle backdrop to those architectural picture windows, revealing blue skies and far-reaching mountains landscapes. Pad out across the cool wooden floors onto the sun terrace with your morning coffee. Come together for alfresco lunches beneath the dappled sun peeking through the bougainvillea vines. Cool off from the midday sun in the shared infinity pool. Or feel anew beneath the outdoor shower. Wherever you choose to while away the time, those views will be right there. As night draws in and the lights of nearby Tejeda begin to twinkle, take a seat beside the outdoor fire pit and prepare to be dazzled as a blanket of stars engulf the sky. And despite its tranquil setting, you’re closer to the action than you think. The charming town of Tejeda is just ten minutes on foot, with its traditional restaurants and the sublime pastry shop, Dulceria Nublo (prepare to join a queue). Or for something a little more adrenaline-pumping, there’s ecotours and rock climbing aplenty close by. Though it’s highly likely, you may never want to leave this place.
