History
Hotel Bahía del Duque opened on 20 November 1993 in Costa Adeje, southern Tenerife, as a five-star Gran Lujo resort designed by architect Andrés Piñeiro for the Zamorano family. Laid out as a 19th-century Canarian village of nineteen low-rise houses across about 100,000 square metres, it was intended as a break from the high-rise tourist model then spreading along the south coast, and is widely described as Tenerife's first luxury hotel.
The property remains with Grupo CIO under The Tais Hotels & Villas brand. A later phase added Las Villas and the Bahía Wellness Retreat. Direct access to Playa del Duque and more than 63,000 square metres of planted gardens remain the site's defining outdoor features. It is a member of The Leading Hotels of the World.
