With average annual temperatures of 23°C and year-round sunshine, it’s no wonder Tenerife (and the best hotels in Tenerife) is a top travel destination for sun-seeking vacationers no matter the season. The biggest of the Canary Islands, Tenerife boasts beautiful sandy beaches as far as the eye can see, breathtaking mountain landscapes, fabulous cafés and restaurants, friendly locals, and plenty of sunshine. Tenerife blends the rich natural landscapes you’ll recognise from Mallorca/Majorca and Menorca with the distinctly Mediterranean culture of Spain, making it an ideal holiday destination.
There are plenty of charming towns in this island in the sun. Tenerife South is a favourite amongst tourists and home to big coastal cities like Costa Adeje, Aronas and Los Cristianos, which is home to Las Vistas Beach and other gorgeous beaches. Meanwhile, the north of Tenerife is a bit more off the beaten path and boasts plenty of stunning little towns like Garachico and Buenavista del Norte and the green and Anaga Rural Park. There are also plenty of wineries, good restaurants and a convivial Spanish vibe that tourists will quickly fall in love with – we highly recommend hopping on a ferry for a day trip to the small circular island of La Gomera.
