Home · Contact · List your business About this listing Hotel Botanico & The Oriental Spa Garden welcomes guests for a specialized Shavuot 2024 program in Tenerife, Spain. Situated in the tranquil area of Puerto de la Cruz, this esteemed establishment is a member of the Leading Hotels of the World and belongs to the Loro Parque group. Recently renovated, the property combines classical elegance with Oriental design influences, all set within 25,000 square meters of lush subtropical gardens. Guests can enjoy views of the Atlantic Ocean and the majestic Mount Teide while participating in a fully organized Jewish holiday experience.
The hotel is recognized for its commitment to high-end hospitality and wellness, featuring the award-winning Oriental Spa Garden. For the Shavuot period, the venue transforms into a dedicated kosher environment, catering to travelers seeking an upscale retreat that aligns with religious requirements. The program is designed to offer a balance of spiritual growth, luxury relaxation, and fine dining under strict rabbinical supervision.
About the area Located in the northern part of Tenerife, the largest of Spain's Canary Islands, Hotel Botanico is positioned in the fashionable residential district of La Paz in Puerto de la Cruz. This region is known for its mild year-round climate and verdant scenery, setting it apart from the more arid southern parts of the island. While Tenerife has a small and growing Jewish presence primarily centered in the larger southern hubs and Santa Cruz, this specific program brings a temporary but robust Jewish infrastructure to the north.
The island of Tenerife has a historical connection to Jewish history dating back to the period of the Inquisition, with various conversational communities existing in secret throughout the archipelago. Today, travelers can find a small synagogue and community center in the south of the island (Playa de las Américas), though the Shavuot program at Hotel Botanico operates as a self-contained religious environment with its own prayer services and communal functions.
Nearby Jewish landmarks Puerto de la Cruz offers a unique blend of volcanic landscapes and traditional Canarian architecture. Visitors can explore the nearby Loro Parque, a world-renowned animal park, or wander through the historic town center with its colonial-style plazas and seaside promenades. The surrounding Orotava Valley is famous for its vineyards and hiking trails, offering spectacular views of Mount Teide, Spain's highest peak.
For those interested in the island's natural beauty, the nearby Botanical Gardens (Jardín de Aclimatación de la Orotava) provide a tranquil setting with thousands of plant species. The Martianez Lake (Lago Martiánez), a large complex of seawater pools designed by artist César Manrique, is another local landmark located within walking distance of the main coastal attractions. While there is no large established Jewish community in the immediate vicinity, the peaceful environment of northern Tenerife provides an ideal backdrop for a focused religious retreat.
What to expect Participants in the Shavuot stay can expect a comprehensive Glatt Kosher Lamehadrine culinary experience. The catering is managed by a team of professional gastronomic chefs and a dedicated kosher pastry chef, ensuring that all meals meet high standards of both kashrut and quality. Under the presence and guidance of Rav Pinto from Paris, the program includes a structured schedule of Torah classes, conferences, and a traditional Shavuot Vigil. Daily prayers are led by Hazzanim, and the program features a celebratory Kiddush and Royal Shabbat meals.
Accommodations at the hotel are designed for comfort and luxury, with many rooms offering private balconies overlooking the mountains or the sea.
