Built in the 18th century as a gentleman’s residence, the hotel has been transformed on a number of occasions into a house with an unmistakable Arabic flavour, including nice stuccos and patterns worked in geometric forms and typical Arabian arches.

The most notable renovation was undertaken in 1923 when the patio was transformed into a “Nazari” courtyard in the style of La Alhambra in Granada – and hence the name.

Art is very much a part of the Alhambra. There is a public room that doubles as an art gallery and a number of bedrooms, though simple, have the luxury of being furnished with original paintings by Antonio Otazzo.

Other rooms such as the glass-roofed courtyard and salon continue this vein and are of a generous size. It all makes for a relaxed atmosphere and a great alternative for clients looking for something away from the madding crowd. The warm water open air swimming pool, sauna or gym further provide opportunities for either meditation or exercise.

The Alhambra is also privileged to be located in the lovely mountain town of Orotava, which has a number of fine monuments and wonderful views. Yet El Teide and its National Park (great for trekking or cycling, natural beaches such as El Bollullo, Los Patos (nudist) and El Ancón, are all within easy reach. In short, Northern Tenerife has a wealth of activities.
