About the venue
Bahía del Duque, Costa Adeje
Bahía del Duque is a five-star resort on Playa del Duque in Costa Adeje, about 16 km from Tenerife South airport, built like a Canarian village of pastel houses and towers among subtropical gardens. Weddings can take place at the Beach Club, with the Atlantic behind you, for up to 250 guests; in the Lake Garden; or in the Bahía Wellness Retreat spa. The resort has 289 rooms, 57 suites and 40 private villas, so the whole wedding party can stay.
Bahía del Duque is one of the best-known hotels in Tenerife: a resort built like a Canarian village, with pastel houses, towers and colonial-style balconies set in gardens that run down to Playa del Duque. It is a member of The Leading Hotels of the World, and its restaurants include Nub, which holds a Michelin star.
The hotel has its own wedding team and several places to marry. The Beach Club faces the Atlantic and takes up to 250 guests, from a formal banquet to a barbecue. The Lake Garden is green and sheltered, good for a cocktail reception or a formal dinner, and the Bahía Wellness Retreat spa offers a ceremony to the sound of water and birdsong.
Menus are written for each wedding by the hotel’s chefs, and dinners can be set on the lawns under palm trees and festoon lights, beside the lagoon pools, or at the Beach Club as the sun goes down.
Guests can choose between three areas: Bahía del Duque itself; Casas Ducales, with more personal service; and Las Villas, private villas with their own plunge pools, some designed by the interior designer Pascua Ortega. For the couple, the suites with private outdoor Jacuzzis and ocean views are hard to beat.
