Comments Off on Tenerife in 3 Days

I finally went to Tenerife and it was awesome! And in this post I will be sharing some activities to do and the amazing hotel we stayed in.

Before we begin I want to thank my friends again for planning this trip as my birthday surprise! I wasn’t told the destination until we got to the boarding gates lol and they sorted out everything! Diane & Miriam thank you girls again! And my surprise set up was amazing!

Tenerife has a reputation for been a booze filled getaway but its totally possible to do the exact opposite. If this is your vibe stay tuned

Hotel

We stayed in the beautiful Green Garden Eco Hotel. Its in an excellent location ( Playas las Americas) not too far from the beach but I wont recommend walking in that heat. The hotel has a lot of amenities including a free shuttle bus to Siam water park. The staff are excellent and made our stay pleasurable! They were so patient with us wanting to practice our Spanish with them too lool( Duolingo streak society anyone? lol). Plus they had a mini arcade on site and we LOVED it. who knew I was so good at shooting loool. There’s a mini market on site too. Our family villa was huge and had a little garden area which we turned into our photoshoot studio LOOL

Activities

Whale & Dolphin Watching with White Tenerife tour guide company- Tenerife is the home of the pilot whales because of the excellent quality of water. From April to September, we were informed Dolphins migrate to the area too. We saw a lot of whales and it was beautiful and we were extremely lucky to see Dolphins too! I have always wanted to see animals in the wild natural habit and seeing them was a bucket list moment for me

Stargazing with Tenerife stars tour guide company- I didn’t know Tenerife was known for this but it is a very popular activity there. The whole trip starts off just before sunset so you stop at a crater for amazing sunset views over the nearby islands before heading to the national park to wait for dark and the stars illuminate the skies. Guys we saw Starlink which looked awesome in the sky but even better we saw shooting stars! Living in a city like London, you forget how light polluted our night sky is so seeing the stars in their numbers so clearly was so amazing. I will give iPhone props here because the pictures turned out great ( its still a cult I refuse to join). Our guide was so funny but knowledgeable

Eating & drinks

It was a packed trip so we didn’t eat out much but I definitely recommend Almar, rooftop restaurant with amazing sunset views! The food and drinks were amazing and I loved my birthday dessert!

So a quick getaway in Tenerife without booze filled parties? Yes its definitely possible. Overall thoughts for Tenerife

  • Taxis are cheaper than ubers
  • Sunscreen is needed of course
  • 100% worth it! GO FOR IT

It was a quick trip, but my looks were still on point! Always

Linda Nicolau, founder of Ecologic by Linda Nicolau S.L. (1993), Ecologic Natural Spa and Ecologic Cosmetics, started her career in the beauty world and spas over 30 years ago.

After working for a tour operator in the world of tourism and collaborating in the design and management of a hotel in Spain, Linda Nicolau – born in Great Britain – returned to the United Kingdom where, having trained and begun her career in beauty therapies, was invited by Max Factor to form part of their sales team. She would later accept the role of executive in the Estée Lauder group and after training in the Harrods department stores in London, became the executive responsible for the south of England and Wales within the business. Eventually, Linda returned to Spain and opened her first beauty salon, Salón Venus, on the island of Mallorca. This small day spa soon became successful and within a short time became well known among the elite of Palma. After accepting a very tempting offer for the sale of her business, Linda founded her own cosmetic import company, Belleza Moderna S.A. As owner and manager of the business, she distributed well known cosmetics and fragrances such as Ultra-Glow, Dolce & Gabbana, Versace, La Perla, Heathcote & Ivory…selling to important perfume shops and department stores all over Spain, including El Corte Inglés.

Caring for your Beauty, Caring for our World

The Ecologic Cosmetics by Linda Nicolau brand consists of natural facial and body products. These are manufactured combining traditional techniques with state-of-the-art technology and high quality, carefully selected ingredients which provide the skin withprogressive, lasting and effective results. The product packaging, which is sustainable and ecological is designed using PET recycled plastic bottles, glass pots, recycled and reusable outer carton containers printed with vegetable based ink, etc. It is labeled in English, Spanish, French and German.

REUSE & RECYCLE

Here are some practical ideas to reuse the packaging of Ecologic Cosmetics’ creams and facial treatments. Created to protect its content from the sunlight and manufactured in recycled carton and paper, our “tube-shaped” boxes can be turned into atractive vintage-style containers for our bathroom. All you have to do is remove the the label and, voilà!

Due to her passion for the world of beauty and her interest in the environment, Linda decided to create her own brand of natural, high quality cosmetics. The range cares for nature and ecology, and avoids unnecessary wastage in packaging. After many years of research and development with specialist chemists, the brand Ecologic Cosmetics by Linda Nicolau was born; an effective, environmentally friendly and sophisticated natural cosmetic line that currently consists of over 30 references.

In September 2003, Linda and her daughter, Alexandra, opened an exclusive, luxury Spa in Mallorca, Spain, as a showroom for their Ecologic Natural Spa franchise. Since then they have collaborated and launched many Spas and carried out training programmes for therapists and beauticians all over Spain and Andorra. At present, they manage 17 spas throughout Spain and have launched the Ecologic Cosmetics, Beauty & Lifestyle Store franchise.
