Royal Hideaway Corales Spa

Our concept took its cue from the architecture of the astonishing new building designed by Leonardo Omar, a local architect acclaimed for his purist, avant-garde buildings, and from the landscape of Tenerife, a volcanic island surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean. The natural scenery of the location – stone, strong sunlight and deep shade, water and corals – are all brought into the spa, combined with rich timber in the circulation spaces to enhance guests’ sense of ease as they navigate the space. Inside, the semi-subterranean spa is alternately filled with light and then shade, creating a temple of tranquillity. Outside, the stone-walled courtyards are similarly open to the sun and carefully shaded for comfortable lounging. A hard work-out in the gym brings the compensation of views over the entrance courtyard with its palm trees and other tropical plants.
