October is THAT perfect month in Tenerife when everything just hits different! While summer tourists head home, we get to experience the island at its most authentic. The temperature sits right in that sweet spot – warm enough for swimming and beach days (average highs of 26°C/79°F), but cool enough for comfortable hiking up Mount Teide.

Tenerife’s weather is famously changeable (that’s part of its charm!). Pack layers including a warm items for those chilly nights on Teide, comfortable hiking sandals or runners and a a few swim suits. We’ll send you our detailed packing guide, but the key is being ready for four seasons in one day!

Our walks range from gentle coastal walks to heart-pumping mountain hikes. We have two guides that lead two different paces. One is geared more towards those looking for a workout and the other is those who are more interested in photography, observing the surrounding nature and taking it easy. Most days involve 2-4 hours of walking on varied terrain.

All hikes and experiences are 100% optional with other activities offered so you don’t feel like you’re missing out on anything!

For DEPARTURE … we will have a shuttle on October 18th

Your AdZENture in Tenerife includes all meals, those prepared at our oceanview villas as well as meals out at local eateries. You will be asked to provide any special dietary restrictions before the start of your retreat so we are able to accommodate your requests.

We ARE able to accommodate any dietary restrictions on this AdZENture as long as it’s noted on the Guest Form.

Please note: if you choose to select a specific diet, special meals will be prepared just for you and that is what you will be served. Changes may not be possible on short notice. 

Example: “I don’t eat seafood” means that we will design a special, non-seafood dish just for you when the rest of the guests will receive a seafood meal. You will not be able to ‘try’ or switch to the seafood dish as these meals are made to order specifically for each guest. Thank you for your understanding. 

As a company standard, we do not share a detailed itinerary with our guests.  This is done with intention and for a reason. Our guests are often planning every aspect of their lives and others’…during our AdZENtures, we give guests the opportunity to sit back, relax and enjoy the present moment.

Every night at dinner, we will disclose the following day’s activities, what to pack, what to wear and when we will depart. This allows guests to be prepared but also immerse themselves in the present.

If this sounds unbearable, this might not be the best trip for you. Note: most of our AdZENturers who had a tough time with this in the beginning, end up loving the element of surprise in the end!

We have two accommodation options for this AdZENture:

• Private villa with private bathroom
• Shared villa and shared bathroom

*If you are traveling alone, we will pair your with another solo guest

*Solo travelers will be paired with a member of the same sex

This AdZENture in Tenerife is full of unique and cultural experiences. We will spend our mornings enjoying a slow start with delicious, local foods for breakfast and an all-levels, optional yoga practice. Our days will include a variety of adventures in the countryside as well as time to rest and relax in the cottage garden and by the pool. All activities are available to anyone who participates in moderate fitness activities on a fairly regular basis. We will have some longer hikes with various elevation gains during this AdZENture, however, we will have several hosts leading each hike to accommodate a variety of paces.

We will have shorter travel days as the island is small, expect no more than 1.5 hours in the car for each journey.  If you do not do well in the car for over an hour, please let your hosts know before booking this AdZENture!

EVERY single experience is optional. AdZENtures chose the experiences on this retreat based on firsthand experience and the unique value each holds for guests. Guests are able to ‘choose your own AdZENture’ by opting out of any experience.

After you book your AdZENtures in Tenerife, guests will receive a welcome email containing a detailed AdZENture Travel Guide specific for this retreat.

As all of our AdZENtures are quite active, we do require insurance for all guests. Insurance is required not only in the case of a medical emergency but it’s also a good idea to include travel insurance in the case of emergency or conflicts preventing you from joining our AdZENture after you book.

If guests are unable to join the retreat, travel insurance will often issue a refund when purchased within 7 days of the original purchase. We advise that all guests book travel insurance within a week of submitting your deposit for your AdZENture in order to protect your investment!

Medical coverage is required.  Travel insurance is not required, it’s suggested. Travel insurance often includes air transport in the case of an emergency. Please ask us if you have questions about this and your AdZENtures team can give you some suggestions!
