Spring Hotels has been named Official Event Accommodation Partner for Starmus VIII, providing exclusive accommodations offers for attendees as the world renowned festival returns to Tenerife ten years after its historic 2016 edition.

Taking place from 17 to 22 October 2026 across Tenerife and La Palma, Starmus will bring together more than 40 distinguished speakers including Nobel Prize winners, astronauts and visionaries, and world-renowned artists, under this year’s theme, “The Search for the Truth”. Key speakers include Brian May, musician, astrophysicist and Starmus co-founder; May-Britt Moser, neuroscientist and Nobel Laureate; Julie Payette, astronaut, scientist and engineer; Jeremy Hansen, Artemis II Astronaut; and Victor J. Glover, Astronaut.

Spring Hotels will be at the heart of the six-day event, with three days of the main conference programme and a Star Party taking place at Piramide de Arona, within the group’s Mare Nostrum Resort in Playa de Las Americas.

Jo Robinson, Chief Sales Officer at Spring Hotels, said “We are delighted to be appointed as Starmus VIII’s official accommodation partner. With Teide National Park offering one of the best spots in the world for stargazing, it has always been popular with those looking to explore the skies at night, and we’re now seeing guests increasingly looking for astrotourism experiences that add another dimension to their holiday.”

Tania Mesa, Director of Groups & Events, Spring Hotels, added, “The appointment of Spring Hotels is a real testament to the hotels’ dedication to providing exceptional service and memorable stays. Located in Playa de las Américas and Los Cristianos, each of six hotels are within easy reach of the festival’s events. We can’t wait to welcome Starmus VIII attendees to our hotels.”

David J. Eicher, Director of Institutional Relations, Starmus Festival, said: "The Starmus Festival is proud to partner with Spring Hotels. The high quality of this institution fits perfectly into the mission of Starmus to provide a wonderful and memorable experience to all our guests."
