How it all started
Everything began in 1965 when Karl and Käthe Rolle discovered today’s hotel property directly at the water with a view at the volcano Teide. They decided to create a refuge for total relaxation. Many decades later the Océano has kept its originality and through modernization has adapted to the zeitgeist.
Karl Rolle, born in 1900, spent many hours at his desk in Bajamar in the 1960s, making plans for his dream as he gazed across the bay to La Punta, where the Océano building gradually took shape in the distance.
The new Océano
In 2019 the hotel has been undergoing renovation, which involved not only structural changes but also alterations to the spa and sports facilities. “We have now also implemented our modern, holistic concept structurally with the redesign of the hotel,” is how Karl Matthias Rolle explains the reasons for the comprehensive renovation.
Green Initiatives of the Océano Health Spa Hotel
Océano Health Spa Hotel continues to further develop its recognition as leading Medical Wellness Hotel offering sustainable and environment-friendly vacation: In the rooms (biological beds), in the restaurant (ingredients from predominantly biological cultivation and regional origin) and constant education of the therapists’ team in health prevention.

Architecture
- The Pseudo-Canary style which was established in 1970 – 1990 was removed within the last years and replaced step by step with the original style referring to todays architecture and the location close to the ocean.
- The building had been constructed with the possibilities of the 60s. In particular one shoud consider that at this time the infrastructure was limited. Today the construction works refer to European norms.
- The use of materials which can be diminished on the island is forbidden. The nature Basalt stone slabs in the garden are not available anymore. Same applies to the special volcanic pumice which were used in former times for decoration, there is no longer a wood industry on the island.
- Conservation of old building substance.
