Naturist village La Jaquita
Hotels with naturist solariums

There is, as far as I know, only one naturist village (finca, in Spanish) on Tenerife for the time being.
 

Finca La Jaquita [pronounced in Spanish, Lah-Khakee-tah] village is located at 2 km to North-East of the town El Médano. It is an establishment with about 15 suits and with a capacity of roughly 50 guests. It has all the necessary facilities inside, including a pool, a solarium, a sauna, etc., and it typically provides either a half-boarding or a full-boarding service. The nearest to the village ocean-coast naturist beach La Pelada is at a 15 minutes' walking distance, and the most attractive on Tenerife La Tejita beach on the other side of El Médano town is also easily accessible either by car (some 15 minutes' ride), or even by foot (less than an hour's walk). The place is run by German management and is oriented towards German tourists in the first place. However, they advertise themselves in English as well, and guests from other countries are also welcome.

The village has its own web site in German and English: http://www.teneriffa-urlaub.de where one can inquire about vacant suites and make on-line reservations.

Several hotels on Tenerife, both in the North and in the South, have got fenced off naturist areas in their solariums, usually, located on roof tops. I am giving here below a list of such hotels, very probably, not a complete one, with links to their web sites. Typically, the hotels offer a half-boarding or a full-boarding service, but some also have got an "all-inclusive" option. Reservations in the hotels is possible either directly with the hotel administration or through numerous travel operators and agencies in many countries, even though the availability of naturist solariums may not be broadly advertised. Still there are agencies specializing in the organization of naturist holidays in many countries, and some of them offer accommodation at naturist-friendly hotels on Tenerife. For instance, one can mention the British companies Chalfont Holidays: http://chalfontholidays.co.uk and Naturist Holidays http://www.naturistholidays.com Addressing the Russian tourists: package tours with accommodation in virtually all the listed hotels is also offered by many well-known Russian travel agencies. Offering Tenerife packages is also the Russian travel agency Naturway specializing on naturist tours: http://www.naturway.ru

Turning now to my personal experience. I applied to a few agencies in St. Petersburg to arrange for my trip to Tenerife, but did not like the style of their services for various reasons. I ended up booking a 2-weeks' tour to Tenerife offered by Natalie Tours company: http://www.natalie-tours.ru and sold by Greenex travel agency: http://www.greenex.ru The both firms are Moscow-based, but have their offices in St. Petersburg (and in some other Russian cities as well). The experience of my communication with these two companies was most satisfactory in all respects: they are offering a good quality service for quite moderate a price. Added to their credit must be the good web sites where one actually can trust the regularly updated information on available tours, and the prompt and clear responses by the company staff to e-mail requests. I also was impressed by a very convenient and effective system of on-line reservations offered by Natalie Tours to their distributors. The whole procedure of booking my tour at the Greenex office took no more than a couple of minutes in my presence.
