This hotel resort is located in the southern region of Tenerife, in the Canary Islands.
Situated on an irregular plot of about 9,800 square meters, the site slopes from northeast to southwest. A series of irregular buildings are arranged in a stepped formation along the slope, creating platforms and floors at varying heights. These include open spaces, structures, and balconies. The complex consists of five main buildings covering an area of approximately 12,000 square meters, surrounded by leisure amenities such as gardens and swimming pools.
The resort was developed in multiple phases. Over time, various renovations introduced a mix of decorations, furniture, and design elements, resulting in a disorganized appearance and an unclear style for the establishment.
The renovation project is planned in stages, each with distinct procedures. Initially, the full scale of the renovation was underestimated, but a clear vision was established: to remove outdated elements and revive the Flamenco Hotel’s lost identity — elegance, wellness, and uniqueness.
To achieve this, white was chosen as the primary color, complemented by materials such as bamboo, local basalt stone, and glass. These are paired with carefully selected accent colors to reflect the Flamenco theme. This approach also lays the groundwork for future modifications.
The main building houses the entrance, lobby, bar, restaurant, commercial areas, public spaces, and guest rooms. Following the overall renovation plan, its original mixed style has been removed to unify the architectural language.

The east and south facades feature organic shapes, while the west facade is more regular and orthogonal. An extension project has been designed at the southeast and west corners to create a transitional zone between the organic and conventional facades, forming part of the south facade wall.
This expansion respects the characteristics of the existing building but removes decorative elements to emphasize volume and space through pure horizontal lines, integrating walls and glass. From a plan view, this horizontal band is set back from the elevation line to maintain continuity and integrity. It’s more than decoration—it accommodates various functional areas, including a commercial zone on the semi-basement level and a restaurant on the first floor, which is fitted with sunshades.
