Five-star Roca Nivaria Gran Hotel, located in Tenerife's upmarket resort of Costa Adeje, has again been chosen as the base for the beginning of the new series of The Only Way is Essex. Following the success of their first stay in 2015, the production team chose the Roca Nivaria Gran Hotel due to its idyllic backdrops, superb facilities and enviable location.

During their five-day luxury getaway in Tenerife, TOWIE stars including Georgia Kousoulou, Chloe Sims, Bobby Norris and Pete Wicks, amongst others, had the opportunity to shoot by the resort's appealing infinity pool, at Ahemón pool bar while trying one of its refreshing cocktails and at the resort's exclusive Presidential Suite (Jacuzzi included).

Furthermore, thanks to the resort's convenient location – close to the liveliest part in southern Tenerife, the glamorous team were also able to make the most of the area, both by day and by night. While female beauties Megan McKenna and Amber Turner were spotted soaking up the sun at El Duque beach, cast mates Pete Wicks and James Lock had some fun in the water at award-winning Siam Park.

For TOWIE fans who would like to follow in the footsteps of the show's stars, the Roca Nivaria Gran Hotel boasts a plethora of options for the ultimate glamourous break. These include a 1,800 square-metre spa offering a variety of massages and treatments, a rooftop sun terrace, stylish Balinese sun beds surrounding the hotel's infinity pool and four different restaurants.

The scenes filmed at Roca Nivaria Gran Hotel and in Tenerife will feature in the first episode of series 20 of The Only Way is Essex, scheduled to air this Sunday 5th March at 10pm on ITVBe.

Standard double rooms at Roca Nivaria Gran Hotel start from €167 per night (approximately £144) – based on two adults sharing on a B&B basis. Superior double rooms start from €195 (approximately £168) per night. For further information and bookings, please visit: www.hotelrocanivaria.com
