About the venue
GF Victoria, Costa Adeje
GF Victoria is a five-star resort in Costa Adeje, in the sunny south of Tenerife, about 150 metres from the beach at Playa del Duque and 20 minutes from Tenerife South airport. Ceremonies take place on the rooftop terraces, with sea views across the coast, or in the gardens, and receptions run from the poolside and courtyard to the Las Olas ballroom, which seats up to 300 for dinner. Weddings start at 25 guests, and all 242 rooms are suites, so everyone can stay in one place.
GF Victoria is a five-star hotel in Costa Adeje, the resort area on Tenerife’s south-west coast where the weather is at its most reliable. The hotel is a short walk from Playa del Duque and Fañabé beach, with seven pools, a top-floor spa, three restaurants and four bars, so it works as a base for the whole wedding week, not just the day itself.
Most couples marry on the roof. The terraces sit above the town with a glass balustrade, clipped cloud trees and a view straight out to the Atlantic, and the hotel dresses them with an arch, an aisle carpet and chairs of your choice. The hotel’s rooftop Zambra Sky Bar is known for its sunsets, a good place to carry on with drinks.
For dinner you have several settings. Smaller weddings can eat on the rooftop or beside the main pool as the sun goes down. Larger groups use the central courtyard, where the lawn takes marquees, high cocktail tables and fountains lit at night, or move indoors to Las Olas, the ballroom, which seats up to 300 and takes 350 for a standing reception.
The hotel’s wedding team takes care of catering, cocktails and the open bar, flowers and bouquets, ceremony decoration, printed signs and seating plans, outdoor sound with a technician, and hair, make-up and spa treatments. Guests get special room rates, and every room is a suite, several with sea views and some with their own outdoor hot tub.

GF Victoria FAQs
How many guests can GF Victoria hold?
Weddings start at 25 guests. The Las Olas ballroom seats up to 300 for dinner and takes 350 for a standing reception, and the rooftop terraces and courtyard suit smaller and mid-sized weddings. We confirm the right space for your numbers with the hotel.
Where does the ceremony take place?
Usually on one of the rooftop terraces, with views over Costa Adeje to the sea, or in the gardens. Ceremonies at the hotel are symbolic, led by a celebrant; the legal marriage is done separately, at home or at a registry. Our guide to <a href="https://weddingvenues.es/legal-marriage/">getting legally married in Spain</a> explains the options.
What does the hotel organise?
The hotel’s team covers catering, cocktails and the open bar, flowers and bouquets, ceremony decoration, printed signs and seating plans, outdoor sound with a technician, and hair, make-up and spa services. Photographers, entertainment and planning can be added through us.
Can our guests stay at the hotel?
Yes. All 242 rooms are suites, and the hotel offers special rates for wedding guests. The bigger suites sleep a family of four.
How much does a wedding at GF Victoria cost?
The hotel prices each wedding for your numbers, date and menus, so packages are on request. In the Canary Islands you pay IGIC rather than IVA, which keeps the tax lower than on the mainland.
When is the best time of year?
Almost any month. The south of Tenerife stays warm and dry for most of the year, so spring, autumn and winter weddings work well, and the summer is hot but rarely wet.
