Jardines de Nivaria has recently completed a 4R audit together with Ashotel and Inovaris, obtaining a very positive evaluation that reaffirms the establishment’s commitment to continuous improvement and environmental care.
This audit allowed evaluating different initiatives related to the reduction, reuse, recycling, and recovery of resources, highlighting the good environmental practices that the hotel regularly implements in its daily operations. Among the highlighted aspects, the team’s effort to move towards a more efficient and conscious resource management was recognized, aligned with the sustainability goals of the tourism sector.
Furthermore, during this action, a box of local products was delivered to Javier Sastre, Quality and Environment Director of ADRIAN Hoteles. A symbolic gesture that reflects how tourism in the Canary Islands can create a direct and valuable connection with the primary sector, supporting local production and encouraging a more balanced and sustainable development for the islands.
Through initiatives like this, ADRIAN Hoteles continues to consolidate its commitment to responsible tourism, integrating sustainability as an essential part of the experience and its work philosophy.
Last week, ADRIAN Hoteles participated in the “Circular Tourist Communities (CTC)” project day, organized by Ashotel and Asaga Canarias at the Tourism Innovation Factory (FIT Canarias), in Adeje.
During the event, we learned about the latest advances of the project, which has already managed 2,800 tonnes of bio-waste and generated 980 tonnes of high-quality compost. We also explored how digitalization and artificial intelligence in hotel kitchens help optimize waste management and reduce food waste.
In addition, the day was a space to exchange experiences with other hotels and entities in the sector, identifying new opportunities to continue advancing in the circular economy and tourism sustainability.
For us, being part of CTC means contributing every day to transforming waste into resources, creating more responsible, efficient, and environmentally friendly tourism 🌍♻️

Roca Nivaria GH has been awarded the 2024 Red Star Award, a recognition granted by the prestigious tour operator Der Touristik. This year, the hotel is among the three establishments awarded in Tenerife, establishing itself as a benchmark for quality and service on the island.
The Red Star Award recognizes hotels chosen by guests as their favorites, standing out for their quality, comfort, and high level of satisfaction. The award is granted not only based on overall guest ratings but also on the scores guests provide after their stay, making it a distinction rooted in the real experience of the customer.
This accolade reflects the commitment of the Roca Nivaria GH team to delivering unique and memorable experiences. Every detail — from personalized attention to high-quality services — contributes to creating exceptional stays that deserve recognition.
We continue working with the purpose of exceeding expectations and offering unforgettable moments to those who choose us as their holiday destination.
A hotel born with a clear vision: to offer a luxury experience in a privileged setting, taking care of every detail and always putting at the heart of it all those who choose us for their holidays.
Since its opening in 1997, Jardines de Nivaria has become a benchmark for elegance, quality, and attentive service in the south of Tenerife. Its unique architecture, inspired by the art déco style, lush tropical gardens, direct access to Fañabé beach, and rooms designed for rest and relaxation have made this hotel an unforgettable destination for thousands of guests from around the world.
But if there’s one thing that has made this journey possible, it’s the team that brings the hotel to life every day — a team that has mastered the balance between professionalism and warmth to ensure every stay is special. That’s how we’ve earned the most valuable reward of all: the loyalty of those who choose us as their second home. Without a doubt, our secret lies in the small details.
In these 28 years, we’ve evolved, renovated, and grown with the goal of continuing to surprise and exceed expectations. And the best part? This is only the beginning — we look to the future with the same excitement as we did on day one.
Thank you to everyone who has been and will be part of this journey.
The Day of the Canary Islands is a special occasion to celebrate our roots, our culture, and everything that makes these islands unique. At Roca Nivaria GH, we believe that every detail matters, which is why many of the names that are part of our hotel were not chosen randomly. They are inspired by the aboriginal history, Canary nature, and words that connect us to our deepest roots.
We want you to discover the meaning of some of them:
Roca Nivaria
The name of the hotel combines two concepts laden with symbolism. “Roca” represents strength, the volcanic land that sustains us, our connection to nature. “Nivaria” was the name the Romans gave to Tenerife, meaning “place where there is snow,” in reference to Mount Teide. Additionally, our hotel stands on an ancient volcanic rest, reinforcing that link with the geology and history of the island.
Bar Piscina Ahemón
“Ahemón” means “water” in the Guanche language. We chose this name for our pool bar because water is life, freshness, and a sacred element for the ancient inhabitants of the Canary Islands. Here, amid dips and cocktails, we pay homage to its importance.
Bar Tamaragua
“Tamaragua” was a greeting used by the aborigines and means “welcome.” Our lobby bar bears this name as a reflection of our hospitality. Every person who crosses its doors is greeted with a smile and the sincere wish to feel at home.
Restaurante Buffet Garoé
The “Garoé” is the mythical tree of El Hierro, capable of capturing water from the mist to supply the island’s inhabitants. It symbolizes abundance and survival. That’s why we chose it for our buffet restaurant: a place where variety, flavors, and generosity are always present.
Miniclub Guirgo
“Guirgo” is what the Canarian children called the game of hide-and-seek. Our miniclub is a space designed for the little ones to live their own adventure, play, laugh, and explore, just like the Canarian children of yesteryear.
This Day of the Canary Islands, we proudly celebrate our roots and are delighted to share a piece of them with you. Happy Day of the Canary Islands!
After a season full of shared moments, unique flavors, and unforgettable experiences, it’s time for a short pause. Our restaurant will be closed from Sunday, May 25th to Thursday, July 31st, as our team takes a well-deserved rest.
This time will allow us to recharge, refresh our ideas, and prepare new surprises that we can’t wait to share with you. We’re working on some exciting updates that will not only keep the essence you love, but take your dining experience to the next level.
Reservations are now open for August 1st onwards, so if you’d like to be among the first to discover what we’ve been working on, we recommend booking your table soon.

Jardines de Nivaria Reduces Food Waste by 50.8% and Minimizes Its Environmental Impact
As part of International Zero Waste Day, ADRIAN Hoteles Jardines de Nivaria reaffirms its strong commitment to sustainability through an innovative waste reduction program. Thanks to the implementation of the Effiwaste system, a technological tool designed to optimize waste management, the hotel has successfully reduced buffet waste by 50.8%, saving over 3,000 kg of food in less than a year. This achievement marks a significant step in the hotel’s sustainability strategy, solidifying its position as a benchmark in responsible tourism.
A detailed waste analysis, conducted using advanced digital tools, has allowed the hotel team to identify key patterns and adjust menu planning to reduce the environmental impact of its operations. According to the hotel’s annual sustainable management report, the average waste per guest has decreased to 0.029 kg. Additionally, the months of September and October have shown the best results, reflecting the effectiveness of the implemented strategies.
The actions taken have had a significant impact on reducing the establishment’s carbon footprint. It is estimated that food waste generated 13,583 kg of CO₂ during the evaluated period. In response to these findings, the hotel has placed special emphasis on optimizing dinner service, which had the highest volume of waste. By adjusting portion sizes and improving demand planning, the surplus has been reduced without compromising the guests’ dining experience.
Following its sustainability philosophy, ADRIAN Hoteles not only works on waste reduction but also promotes various circular practices in waste management. In 2024, 56.01 tons of bio-waste were collected, resulting in 19.6 tons of compost, which translates to 470.47 tons of CO₂ emissions avoided. These initiatives aim not only to minimize the hotel’s environmental impact but also to inspire guests to adopt more sustainable habits.
The success of the waste reduction program sets a precedent in the hospitality industry and reinforces ADRIAN Hoteles’ commitment to the environment. In addition to reducing food waste, the hotel continues to implement other sustainability strategies, such as using local and seasonal products, optimizing water and energy consumption, and eliminating single-use plastics. With initiatives like this, the hotel chain continues to move towards a more conscious and environmentally friendly tourism model, further establishing itself as a leader in sustainable hospitality.

In our effort to lead the change towards a more sustainable tourism, ADRIAN Hoteles has joined forces in a pioneering project that will make a difference, starting with our hotel Jardines de Nivaria. This project combines innovative technology, environmental commitment and strategic collaboration, paving the way for a greener future in the hotel industry.
Food waste is a global problem that affects the HORECA industry to a great extent. Aware of this reality, our chain has partnered with Effiwaste, a Canarian startup dedicated to combating food waste and organic waste through technological solutions and sustainable practices.
The project consists of implementing innovative software that allows us to measure and analyse food waste in real time. Thanks to this tool, we will be able to manage our operations more efficiently, adapting menus and reducing waste significantly. The implementation not only has a positive impact on the environment, but also on the economic aspect since, by reducing food waste, it will allow us to save costs and improve our profitability, while fulfilling our commitment to social and environmental responsibility.
Prior to this implementation, the kitchen staff in charge of measuring has been trained and made aware of the implications of food waste, organic waste management and sustainable tourism.
Jardines de Nivaria is just the beginning. With the success of this pilot project, we will be ready to expand this collaboration to the other two hotels Roca Nivaria GH and Colón Guanahaní in the near future.
