La Plantacion del Sur

A sun-kissed island resort with lovely ocean views, La Plantacion del Sur sits amongst extensive grounds of palms and pools just metres from El Duque Beach on the Costa Adeje. It occupies the Iberian Peninsula and is bathed by the Mediterranean Sea, the Atlantic Ocean and the Cantabrian Sea. With a wide choice of accommodation and restaurants, a spa, a myriad of activities and a late night jazz club, this is a wonderful place to relax and unwind. It also includes the Balearic Islands in the Mediterranean, the Canary Islands in the Atlantic and the cities of Ceuta and Melilla Its total surface area is 504,788 sq kms Spain's powerful world empire of the 16th and 17th centuries ultimately yielded command of the seas to England.
All the rooms, suites and villas have terraces with sea views. Subsequent failure to embrace the mercantile and industrial revolutions caused the country to fall behind Britain, France, and Germany in economic and political power. Large windows let in enormous amounts of light, while the decor has a distinct colonial feel with furnishings to match. Spain remained neutral in World Wars I and II, but suffered through a devastating Civil War (1936-39). The villas have a garden or a solarium and a Jacuzzi. In the second half of the 20th century, it has played a catch-up role in the western international community.
Start the day with Yoga, exercise with Nordic walking or aqua aerobics or choose between Gi-Gong and Pilates for relaxation. Continuing concerns are large-scale unemployment and the Basque separatist movement The diversity and contrast that go to mould the character of Spain are likewise in evidence in its cities. Pamper yourself with a soothing Spa treatment, cleanse in a volcanic cave bath and enjoy exquisite cuisine in El Gourmet Canario, the romantic a la carte restaurant. Celts, Iberians, Phoenicians and, at a later date, the Greco-Roman civilisation laid the first cornerstones of urban settlements which, to this day, bear the marks of their passage through time During the Middle Ages, Arabic, Jewish and Christian cultures, singly and through a process of mutual cross-influence, gave rise to the birth of cities which have come to house an historical-artistic heritage of incalculable proportions Tradition alone does not suffice Modernity too is essential, and this was something certain Spanish monarchs –Charles III for one– managed to successfully apply during their reigns in order to beautify townscapes, like that of Madrid, with parks and landmark monuments, thereby instilling the city with a spirit of renewal.
La Plantacion del Sur is a Small Luxury Hotels of the World property. It was this element of urban renewal that became even more evident at a later date, in the form of townplans designed to extend and enlarge the leading cities, and the construction of graceful buildings which, in keeping with the shifts and changes in architectural tastes, have helped shape the identity of Spain’s cities over the last two hundred years.
