The island of eternal spring: Tenerife’s charming nickname comes from its balmy vernal temperatures. But you only have to look at a map to see that it’s also the island of endless adventure, the island of beach living, the island of curious Canarian traditions and the island of volcanic virility.
Tenerife is the largest Canary island, and the most popular with visiting Brits. English and Spanish speaking tourists alike will feel at home, and kids will be welcomed with open arms. Families will love the water parks in the south whilst nature enthusiasts will be in their element: whale-watching tours come with guarantees that you’ll see the island's resident pilot whales.
If you want an adventure holiday, then this is the island for you. Tenerife’s extraordinary interior has the potential to be so much more than just a photogenic backdrop. If you want to explore the hinterland, it’s surprisingly easy to ascend Mount Teide by cable car – but harder if you want to hike ‘La Rambleta’ – the path to the summit.
Couples can stay in one of the many luxurious couples-only hotels: choose somewhere in the north for an even quieter stay. Wander the botanic gardens, drop in on a vineyard, or challenge each other to a cookery lesson to learn who can make the spiciest mojo sauce.
Whatever holiday you want – you’ll find this pocket island can please most tastes: book flights to Tenerife now.

In the dramatic shadow of the massive Mount Teide you’ll make many holiday memories in Tenerife. The adventurous can take to the seas in search of native pilot whales and the romantic can point out shooting stars in Mount Teide National Park.
Most tourists flock to the south coast of Tenerife, which enjoys the most sheltered beaches, with imported golden sand and dry, sunny days all year round. The famous Playa de las Americas region has the most famous strip on the island, plus six safe, sandy beaches, duty-free shops and great tapas restaurants for visitors. Stay here to be near Tenerife’s nightlife on Veronica’s Strip.
Moving away from the busy strip, many opt to stay in the exclusive resorts on Costa Adeje. In this area, Playa del Duque, with its chic signature cabanas, is the beach to be seen on.
If you continue around the coast, you’ll reach an even newer resort area. Guía de Isora gets the afternoon sun for longer on the beaches – and there are lovely sunsets over the ocean. This area is near the impressive Los Gigantes, a series of 800m high cliffs that plunge straight into the ocean.
In the south east, Golf du Sur is a convenient resort area right by the airport, but you won’t want to fly away in a hurry. Enjoy the sunny shores– especially at beautiful windsurfing beach Playa El Medano. For lunch, head to Los Abrigos, where the catch of the day is hauled straight from fishing boats into the restaurants.
More people are discovering the north coast of Tenerife. Lusher than the south, the beaches are left to their volcanic black selves, and there are some wonderful traditional Canarian towns. Puerto de la Cruz is known for a sophisticated set of saltwater bathing pools at Lago Martiánez, whilst at Punta Brava, two of the north’s best beaches are next door to each other: the secret coves of Playa del Bollullo and Playa de los Patos.
This island might be far from the mainland, but it’s far from boring. From water sports to volcano walks, find out what to do in Tenerife, whether you’re on the beach or exploring inland.

Hire a car and discover Tenerife by road. From the charming traditional towns to the switchback mountain route that leads to Masca, Tenerife’s terrain changes with every turn in the road. It's just an hour’s drive across, but you should take your time exploring the island with our road trip picks.
