Vincci Hotels is promoting astro-tourism with short breaks to enjoy the solar eclipse in Spain

The hotel chain invites guests to discover a way of travelling connected to nature, the night landscape and astronomical phenomena through experiences linked to astrotourism in Tenerife and Cáceres. It also offers accommodation in cities from which the total solar eclipse on 12 August can become part of an urban, cultural or gastronomic getaway.

A proposal that combines sensory tourism, sustainability and a connection with the destination, reinforcing the more experiential dimension of the chain's hotels.

There are destinations that are experienced differently when night falls and the sky becomes the focal point of the journey. At a time when travellers are seeking more authentic, slower-paced experiences that are closely connected with their surroundings, astrotourism has established itself as a different way of discovering a place: by observing its skies, its nocturnal landscape and its relationship with nature.

Vincci Hoteles highlights this way of travelling through a selection of hotels that allow guests to enjoy the sky as part of the experience. On the one hand, hotels located in natural surroundings, far from the rush and the noise, where activities related to astronomical observation can be booked. On the other, hotels located in destinations that are particularly appealing for those wishing to plan a getaway to coincide with phenomena such as the total solar eclipse expected on 12 August.

This way of travelling connects with a more sensory and sustainable dimension of tourism: looking, listening, pausing and rediscovering the surroundings from a different perspective.

Vincci Selección La Plantación del Sur 5*: A Sunset Picnic in the Natural Surroundings of Mount Teide

The quality of its skies, its geographical location and its historical connection with astronomy make Tenerife an especially attractive destination for those looking to enjoy a different experience, connected with nature and the island's night landscape.

From Costa Adeje, Vincci Selección La Plantación del Sur 5* offers the opportunity to discover one of Tenerife's greatest natural icons from a different perspective: at sunset, with a picnic dinner in Teide National Park, followed by a stargazing session accompanied by an official Starlight guide.

This activity, which can be booked directly through the hotel, offers the option of taking part only in the stargazing experience or combining it with the picnic experience at Mount Teide. A proposal designed to experience Tenerife beyond its sun and beaches by discovering one of its greatest natural treasures: a sky internationally recognised for its exceptional conditions for astronomical observation.

Inspired by traditional Canarian colonial architecture and surrounded by gardens, the hotel allows guests to combine this experience with a stay focused on relaxation, wellbeing and a connection with nature. Its swimming pools, wellness facilities, gastronomic offering and location in the south of the island complete a way of experiencing Tenerife in which the Atlantic Ocean, the volcanic landscape and the night sky all become part of the same journey.

A Way of Traveling Connected to the Surroundings

Astrotourism reflects a growing sensibility among today’s travelers: the search for experiences connected to the land, silence, nature, and contemplation. Gazing at the stars or planning a getaway around an astronomical event means engaging with a destination from a different perspective—slower, more mindful, and more meaningful.

For Vincci Hoteles, this way of traveling perfectly reflects its vision of hospitality. Each hotel interprets its destination through its own identity, whether by means of architecture, design, gastronomy, the restoration of historic buildings, or its relationship with the surrounding landscape. In this case, the sky also becomes part of that perspective.
