Tenerife: Beer Spa Experience with Tastings and Snacks

The oddest part of this Tenerife experience is also its appeal: you sit in a hot beer Jacuzzi, drink cold beer, snack on cheese and chocolate, then move through a beer sauna and a barley bed. It is part spa treatment, part playful tasting session, and a good change from the island’s usual beach-and-pool routine.

I like the small, intimate setting and the fact that the hour has a clear sequence rather than being just a soak. I also like the staff’s personal touch. Pablo is singled out for attentive service, and early or quiet bookings may give you the whole place to yourself. The main drawback is that the hour passes quickly, and the snacks are modest rather than a full meal.

Key points to know before you book

• The main event is a hot beer Jacuzzi: You drink cold beer while sitting in warm bathing beer, with the tub portion taking roughly half the one-hour visit.
• The experience has three stages: Jacuzzi, beer sauna, then a barley bed where you rest and let the treatment finish.
• Snacks are included but small: Expect cheese, chocolate and a beer jam tasting, along with beer during the Jacuzzi.
• Quiet appointment times can feel private: Several bookings at 11 a.m. or 2 p.m. had no other customers present.
• A massage costs extra: One booking added a 25-minute massage for €45 per person, but confirm the current price at the spa.
• It is adults-only: You must be at least 18, and the experience is not suitable during pregnancy.

What the one-hour Tenerife beer spa is really like

Beer Spa Tenerife offers a novelty experience with a genuine relaxation goal. You are not simply bathing in a tub while someone pours beer into it. The visit uses beer extracts and barley-based elements as part of a short treatment, with time set aside for heat, rest and skin care.

The advertised price is $79 per person, so this is not a budget soak. I would judge it as a special-occasion activity rather than a cheap way to spend an hour. The value comes from the private-feeling setting, included drinks and snacks, and the unusual combination of Jacuzzi, sauna and barley bed.

The score of 4.9 from 53 ratings fits the strongest parts of the experience: kind staff, careful service and a fun setting that feels different from a standard spa. Still, you should know what you are buying. This is a compact one-hour session, not an entire afternoon at a large thermal spa.

Arriving at Beer Spa Tenerife

You meet your host at Beer Spa Tenerife, and the activity ends at the same place. No transport is included, so you need to make your own way to the meeting point and allow enough time to find the entrance.

One practical warning is worth taking seriously: the venue can be hard to locate. Check the address and meeting instructions before setting out, and avoid arriving at the last second. The staff speak English, French, Portuguese, Spanish and Italian, which makes arrival and explanations easier for many international visitors.

The setting is intended to feel calm as soon as you enter. Staff provide a welcome, explain the basic order of the treatment and get you ready for the first stage. The best service appears to come from staff who stay involved throughout rather than simply pointing you toward the tub.

Pablo is the named staff member most associated with warm, attentive care. If he is working during your appointment, you can expect a personal approach, though staff assignments can change. A quiet booking helps, too. Some people who chose late morning or midafternoon times found the venue empty, which made the session more private.

The beer Jacuzzi and tasting session

The Jacuzzi is the heart of the visit. You sit in a wooden barrel-style tub filled with warm bathing beer and beer extracts, then receive a cold beer to drink while you relax. This combination makes the experience feel more like a social treat than a silent, formal spa treatment.

The water is warm, but this is not described as a full-body beer bath in the sense of sitting under a thick layer of drinkable beer. The bathing liquid uses beer-related ingredients, while the beer you consume comes separately. That distinction matters if you are expecting something theatrical.

You also receive small appetisers. The included tasting has cheese, chocolate and beer jam, though the beer jam may not always be brought out unless you ask. The portions are snack-sized, so eat beforehand if you need a proper lunch or dinner. The food works best as a companion to the drink rather than as a tasting menu.

The beer served in the Jacuzzi is included, and the tasting element is one of the reasons this works well for couples or friends. You can chat, relax and enjoy the novelty without needing to treat the session like a serious health ritual.

A booking can include other people, so do not assume total privacy unless you have arranged a time when the venue is quiet. Still, reports of having the place to themselves at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. suggest that appointment timing can make a real difference.

The Jacuzzi portion seems to last about 30 minutes, according to one detailed account, with the remaining time divided between the sauna and barley bed. That is reasonable for a one-hour treatment, but it may disappoint you if the tub is your only reason for booking.

The beer sauna and barley bed

After the Jacuzzi, you move to the beer sauna. The stated purpose is to let the beer-based treatment continue through heat and relaxation, with the sauna helping your skin absorb the beer extracts. You should see this as a gentle wellness ritual, not a medical treatment.

The sauna is also a transition point. You have been sitting, drinking and snacking, then shift into a warmer and quieter stage. Anyone sensitive to heat should keep expectations sensible and speak with staff if the temperature feels uncomfortable.

The final stage is the barley bed. You lie back on barley and relax while the treatment finishes. This is a simple idea, but it gives the experience a clear ending. Instead of stepping straight from a hot tub into the street, you have a few minutes to rest, dry off and let your body settle.

You finish by wrapping yourself in a towel. The treatment is promoted as leaving your skin feeling soft and pleasantly scented, and one person specifically reported smooth skin that still felt good hours later. Results will vary, but the skin-care angle is a useful bonus if you enjoy bath treatments.

One caution: the last two stages may not feel as peaceful if cleaning is taking place nearby. A person who booked when the place was quiet found the staff member’s cleaning noise distracting after leaving the tub. This is a small operational issue, but it shows why the overall atmosphere can depend on the timing of your visit.

What is included, and what costs extra

Your ticket includes entry, the beer spa treatment, the beer sauna, the barley bed, beer during the Jacuzzi and the small snack selection. You do not need to pay separately for the basic sequence.

Massage is not included. You can ask about adding one at the spa. One booking added a 25-minute massage for €45 per person and found it worthwhile after the beer treatment. Treat that figure as a useful reference, not a guaranteed current rate, and confirm the price before agreeing.

The optional massage can change the value calculation. At $79, the basic hour is already a premium activity, but adding a massage may suit you if this is meant to be the relaxing finish to a holiday. If you are mainly curious about the beer Jacuzzi, skip the extra and keep the visit focused.

The modest snacks also affect the value. Cheese, chocolate and beer jam add character, but they do not replace a meal. I would plan this between meals rather than before dinner when you are very hungry.

Is $79 per person fair value?

At $79 per person, this is expensive for one hour if you measure it only by time in the water. It becomes more reasonable if you value a distinctive couples activity, included beer and a staff-led treatment that combines several stages.

You are paying for the setting and the idea as much as for the raw materials. A regular Jacuzzi or sauna may cost less, but it will not give you the same beer tasting, barley bed and novelty. On the other hand, anyone looking for a long spa day with several pools and treatments will likely find this too brief.

The strongest value comes when the experience marks an occasion: a birthday, a surprise for a partner, or the final relaxing activity after several busy days in Tenerife. One couple used it as the end of a holiday and added a massage, which is exactly the kind of use that makes the price easier to accept.

The reserve-now-and-pay-later option also helps if your plans are still moving. You can hold a place without paying immediately, and free cancellation is available up to 24 hours before the appointment for a full refund. Check the booking terms at the time you reserve.

Who will enjoy it most

This suits adults who like beer, unusual spa treatments and lighthearted activities. Couples are the natural match, especially if you want something more memorable than another bar or beach afternoon.

It also works for friends who are comfortable sharing a relaxed setting. The five-language staff support makes the activity accessible to a broad mix of visitors, and the venue is wheelchair accessible.

You should book it if you enjoy novelty and do not need a long treatment. The best candidate is someone who can appreciate the fun of drinking cold beer in a warm Jacuzzi, while still enjoying the calmer sauna and barley-bed stages.

You may want to skip it if you dislike beer, cannot use a hot sauna or expect a full meal and several hours of spa facilities. Pregnant people and children under 18 should not attend. Swimwear and flip-flops are required, though the spa can provide them if you do not have your own.

How to plan the visit well

Bring swimwear, flip-flops, a towel and a change of clothes. Even if the spa supplies swimwear and flip-flops, your own items may be more comfortable. Spare clothes are useful after a warm treatment, especially if you plan to continue sightseeing.

Book an early or quieter time if privacy matters. A morning appointment at 11 a.m. or an afternoon slot around 2 p.m. may be calm, based on how quiet some appointments have been, but no time guarantees that you will have the venue alone.

Eat before you arrive, but do not schedule the activity immediately after a heavy meal. The included cheese, chocolate and beer jam are there to nibble, not to fill you up.

Allow extra time to find the entrance. Since the meeting point can be difficult to spot, use the address carefully and arrive ready for a short check-in. Once inside, the activity is designed to finish where it begins, so you do not need to arrange a separate end point.

Should you book the Tenerife Beer Spa?

I would book this if you want one unusual, adults-only hour that mixes relaxation with a bit of silliness. The beer Jacuzzi is the main draw, but the sauna and barley bed keep it from feeling like a single gimmick. Friendly, attentive staff, especially Pablo when he is on duty, add real value.

I would not book it expecting a full spa day or a substantial food experience. The snacks are small, the Jacuzzi time is limited, and the venue may be less peaceful if cleaning is happening nearby. At $79, it makes the most sense as a special holiday treat, especially for a couple or as a final unwind after a busy Tenerife itinerary.
