Gran Hotel Taoro, the historic landmark hotel in northern Tenerife, has completed the final phase of its three-year renovation with the opening of Sandára Wellness Centre, offering guests an additional space dedicated to relaxation, restoration and holistic wellbeing, with
exclusive treatments by Anne Semonin.
Architecturally, Sandára Wellness Centre draws inspiration from Tenerife’s volcanic landscape. Natural materials, mineral tones and organic textures create a calm, immersive atmosphere, while softly lit treatment rooms and volcanic-stone-inspired finishes add warmth and depth. The relaxation area opens onto uninterrupted views of the Orotava Valley, while a bespoke mural by Canarian artist, Ione Domínguez, reinforces the connection to the island and to the local community.
Designed to be a calm, sensory retreat, Sandára Wellness Centre’s relaxation area includes a sauna, steam room and experience showers, which overlook the hotel’s gardens and natural landscape beyond.
The centre also features three individual treatment rooms and two spacious double rooms, allowing for personalised wellness and beauty rituals, either individually or as shared experiences.
Partnering exclusively with French skincare house Anne Semonin, Gran Hotel Taoro is one of the only venues in Tenerife to offer the brand, alongside Abama Hotels which are under the same management.
With more than 35 years of international expertise, Anne Semonin is known for its bespoke approach, combining essential oils, trace elements and marine active ingredients. Each treatment will begin with a personalised skin diagnosis, followed by tailor-made formulations adapted to individual needs.
The treatment menu includes specialised facials focused on hydration, decongestion and rejuvenation, alongside advanced protocols incorporating cryotherapy, illuminating and firming serums, and customised oil and mineral complexes. Premium treatments are also available, with the use of precious powders and pearls, designed to deliver anti-ageing benefits and an immediate lifting effect.
