Baobab Suites Review: Our Wellness & Pilates Experience in Tenerife

An honest review of Baobab Suites in Costa Adeje - from Reformer Pilates and Activate Sports Club to wellness suites with private jacuzzis, customisable breakfast boxes, and the hillside Costa Adeje setting in Tenerife

Baobab Suites in Costa Adeje isn't your typical Tenerife beach hotel. This modern, all-suite property perched on a quiet hillside delivers something more sophisticated - a self-contained wellness retreat where oversized suites with private jacuzzis meet a serious fitness facility, wellness spa, and the freedom to design days exactly as you wish. If you're craving winter sun, wellness options, and genuine comfort without long-haul travel, Baobab proves remarkably difficult to beat.

From arrival, I understood why this property attracts both couples and families so consistently. The suites feel genuinely spacious (apartment-sized rather than hotel-room scale), the hillside setting provides serene removal from tourism's noise whilst maintaining easy access, and there's perfect balance between active offerings and relaxation opportunities. Whether you're drawn to Reformer Pilates, poolside lounging, or breakfast in your pyjamas with panoramic views, Baobab makes everything feel effortless.

Location & Setting: Costa Adeje, Tenerife

Baobab Suites occupies a peaceful hillside position above Playa del Duque - arguably the finest beach in southern Tenerife. The elevated location provides dramatic views whilst creating distance from beachfront bustle.

Beach Access & Surroundings

The walk down to the promenade takes approximately 15 minutes, though the return climb proves steep. Thoughtfully, the hotel provides complimentary taxi vouchers making beach access genuinely hassle-free. The shops, cafés, and restaurants of Costa Adeje sit close by, yet the hilltop setting delivers that valuable sense of peaceful removal.

Getting There

At just 15 minutes from Tenerife South Airport and a 4-hour flight from the UK, access couldn't be simpler. This proves ideal if you're craving sunshine without jet lag or the commitment of long-haul travel - a considerable advantage for winter sun breaks.

Accommodation: Divinity Lago Suite

I stayed in the Divinity Lago suite, which felt decidedly more like a contemporary apartment than a hotel room. Floor-to-ceiling windows, minimalist design, and genuinely spacious proportions created an environment perfect for extended stays.

Suite Features

My private balcony provided a jacuzzi, comfortable daybed, and dining table - ideal for leisurely morning coffee or evening star-gazing dips. Inside, the suite featured:

• Bedroom - King-size bed with premium linens

• Bathroom - Sleek design with both bathtub and walk-in shower

• Kitchen - Fully equipped including washing machine and Nespresso machine

• Living Space - Comfortable seating with excellent natural light

The suite genuinely felt like home rather than temporary accommodation - that rare hotel quality where you can properly settle rather than merely occupy space.

Practical Tips

Quick insider advice: Bring your own Nespresso pods and laundry tablets to maximise the kitchen and washing machine amenities. Whilst the hotel provides basics, having your preferred coffee and detergent enhances the self-catering experience.

Suite Options

Baobab offers 125 suites spanning various configurations - some featuring private pools, others offering partial sea views. Options suit every traveller type from families requiring space to couples seeking romantic seclusion. The glass balconies aren't completely private, though the overall atmosphere remains peaceful and low-key.

Customisable Breakfast: A Favourite Feature

One standout element proved the customisable breakfast box delivery. Simply complete a form the previous evening selecting your preferences, then breakfast arrives at your suite at your chosen time.

My selections included fresh bread, local cheeses, seasonal fruit, yoghurt, fresh juice, and Nespresso pods. Portions proved generous enough to save leftovers for later - particularly useful if you're planning active mornings and want lunch available without leaving your suite.

This flexibility perfectly supports the self-contained suite concept, allowing you to design mornings exactly as desired rather than conforming to hotel dining schedules.

Dining Options Beyond the Suite

Fuel RestoBar

Located at the sports centre, Fuel RestoBar provided my go-to spot for post-yoga smoothies and healthy brunches. The avocado toast proved particularly satisfying after morning Pilates sessions.

BB Lounge Club

This chic venue offers sophisticated atmosphere with gorgeous sea views - ideal for evening drinks or casual dining with elevated ambience.

Sucás Restaurant

For special occasions (or when you simply fancy fine dining), Sucás delivers Michelin-level tasting menus. The experience proves perfect for celebrations or treating yourself to culinary excellence without leaving the property.

Activate Sports Club: Fitness Haven

Wellness at Baobab integrates naturally throughout the experience rather than feeling like an add-on amenity. The on-site Activate Sports Club proves an absolute gem for fitness enthusiasts.

Reformer Pilates

I experienced a private Reformer Pilates class and left feeling noticeably stronger and more energised - addressing something I'd been missing in my regular routine. The instruction proved expert, equipment excellent, and the dedicated studio space properly equipped for serious practice.

Group Fitness Classes

The club offers extensive group classes spanning:

• Various yoga styles

• TRX training

• Spinning sessions

• Aerial yoga (a unique offering)

• Additional fitness formats
  

A full weekly schedule operates from Monday - Friday, providing variety and structure if you prefer guided sessions over independent workouts.

Additional Facilities

Beyond the studio classes:

• Private Beach Area - Exclusive access avoiding public beach crowds

• Rock Climbing Wall - Unique facility for adventurous guests

• Padel Tennis Courts - Popular Spanish sport accessible on-site

• Full Gym - Comprehensive equipment for independent training
  

You can genuinely maintain (or begin) serious fitness routines without ever leaving the property - a considerable advantage over typical resort offerings.

Nirama Wellness Centre: Spa Treatments

For more restorative experiences, the Nirama Wellness Centre provides various massage and spa treatments designed to promote relaxation and restoration.

After several active days, I booked a relaxing massage followed by a refreshing beach smoothie from Fuel - exactly the combination I needed. The treatment proved both therapeutic and profoundly relaxing, addressing accumulated tension whilst supporting energy restoration.

The centre offers comprehensive spa services from various massage modalities to facials, all delivered by skilled therapists in a tranquil environment.

The Baobab Philosophy: Freedom & Flexibility

What distinguishes Baobab from traditional wellness retreats is the freedom it provides. There's no prescribed schedule, no mandatory activities, no pressure to participate in anything. Instead, you have access to excellent facilities and can design each day based on your energy, interests, and wellness goals.

This self-directed approach suits independent travellers who prefer autonomy over structure - though the staff remain readily available to arrange activities or provide recommendations whenever desired.

My Final Thoughts

Baobab Suites delivered exactly what its concept promises - spacious, well-equipped accommodation where you can properly settle, combined with genuinely excellent fitness facilities and the freedom to design days exactly as desired. The combination of private suite amenities, quality wellness offerings, and stunning hillside setting created ideal conditions for restoration without rigidity.

I left feeling rejuvenated not because I'd followed an intensive programme, but because I'd had space, choice, and access to quality facilities supporting whatever my body needed each day. The Reformer Pilates sessions genuinely improved my strength and posture. The spa massage provided deep restoration. The breakfast deliveries and full kitchen meant I could nourish myself optimally without constant restaurant visits.

What impressed me most was how the property supports extended stays so effectively. Unlike typical hotels where novelty wears off after a few days, Baobab's suite design and facility quality mean week-long (or longer) visits feel natural and comfortable rather than limiting.

The Activate Sports Club deserves special recognition - the Reformer Pilates instruction and equipment prove genuinely excellent, not just "good for a hotel." For fitness-focused travellers, this alone warrants the journey.

For anyone seeking wellness accommodation in Tenerife that balances quality fitness facilities with genuine comfort and freedom, that supports families as effectively as couples, that provides winter sun without long-haul commitment, Baobab Suites offers something increasingly special. This isn't about dramatic transformation through structured programmes - it's about having the space, facilities, and freedom to nurture wellbeing in whatever way serves you best.

Who Should Book Baobab Suites?

Based on my experience, Baobab Suites particularly suits:

• Couples seeking sunshine and privacy with quality wellness options readily accessible but not obligatory.

• Families wanting self-catering convenience - the full kitchens and spacious suites prove invaluable with children.

• Solo travellers or friends desiring a laid-back wellness break with freedom to structure days independently.

• Fitness enthusiasts - particularly those interested in Reformer Pilates, as the facility and instruction prove genuinely excellent.

• Winter sun seekers wanting quality accommodation and wellness facilities without long-haul commitment.

• Anyone valuing suite-style accommodation over standard hotel rooms - the space and amenities genuinely enhance extended stays.

Baobab probably isn't ideal if you're seeking traditional beachfront location (though beach access proves easy), highly structured wellness programmes, or all-inclusive dining. This property rewards self-directed guests who appreciate freedom and quality facilities over prescribed schedules.
