Tenerife has become a favourite destination for filmmakers in recent years, with its volcanic landscapes, coastal scenery and year-round sunshine providing the backdrop for countless productions. Sometimes, however, it’s not just the island that steals the spotlight.
One luxury villa at the very western edge of Tenerife has become a star attraction in its own right after serving as the main setting for the Spanish comedy Odio el verano.
The Villa at the Centre of the Story
Released in 2024, Odio el verano follows three very different families who arrive in Tenerife expecting a dream holiday, only to discover they have all booked the same villa.
What follows is a series of hilarious clashes, misunderstandings and family drama as none of them is willing to give up their stay in what appears to be the perfect holiday home.
And it’s easy to understand their reluctance.
A Unique Setting at Punta de Teno
The property featured in the film is KARAT Villa Oasis de Teno, located at Punta de Teno, the westernmost point of Tenerife.
Set beside the iconic lighthouse and surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean, the villa enjoys one of the most privileged locations on the island. The area is known for its rugged coastline, dramatic volcanic scenery and panoramic views towards La Gomera and La Palma.
Far removed from the busy tourist areas, Punta de Teno offers a level of peace and tranquillity that is increasingly difficult to find.
Designed for Space and Comfort
The villa can accommodate up to 14 guests across seven bedrooms and five bathrooms, making it ideal for large families or groups.
Three of the bedrooms are private suites with en-suite bathrooms, while the remaining rooms share additional facilities. Inside, guests will find spacious living areas, a large dining room and a fully equipped kitchen designed for both short breaks and extended stays.
The property’s minimalist design allows the surrounding landscape to take centre stage.
The Pool That Steals the Show
One of the villa’s standout features is its heated private swimming pool, perfectly positioned to overlook the ocean and the Punta de Teno lighthouse.
The outdoor spaces are designed to make the most of the spectacular surroundings and include:
• Heated swimming pool
• Sun terrace and solarium
• Outdoor dining area
• Barbecue facilities
• Chill-out spaces
• Panoramic Atlantic views
Few places in Tenerife offer such uninterrupted vistas combined with complete privacy.
Luxury in One of Tenerife’s Most Remote Corners
Beyond the views, the villa is equipped with everything expected from a high-end holiday property, including air conditioning, WiFi, Smart TV, laundry facilities and a fully equipped modern kitchen.
Additional services such as airport transfers, car hire and long-stay bookings are also available.
Yet what truly sets the property apart is its location. Surrounded by sea, mountains and volcanic landscapes, it offers guests the chance to experience one of Tenerife’s most unspoilt and dramatic settings.
Why Everyone Wanted to Stay
In Odio el verano, the families spend much of the film arguing over who has the right to remain in the villa.
After seeing the location for yourself, that plot point suddenly feels very believable.
Between the breathtaking sunsets, the peaceful atmosphere and the unmatched views from Tenerife’s western tip, KARAT Villa Oasis de Teno offers the kind of setting that makes people want to extend their holiday indefinitely.
Whether you’re a fan of the film or simply searching for one of the island’s most extraordinary places to stay, this remarkable villa proves that sometimes the location really is the star of the show.
