Fantastic late deals to Tenerife!
The beautiful Playa de Medanos Beach in Tenerife
Tenerife is the largest of the Canary Islands and although some areas of Tenerife are party central, there are plenty of natural wonders to discover, including the Teide National Park where you can visit the now extinct volcano. This island is diverse offering stays in rural houses as well as the more traditional hotel holidays.
Costa Adeje
Costa Adeje is a small, low-key resort popular with couples and families. Its proximity to Playa de las Americas means activities are never far away, but it makes a lovely, peaceful base if you’re not seeking the all-night party atmosphere. There are a host of watersports on nearby Playa del Duque, plus a selection of bars and restaurants serving a variety of cuisines. Accommodation ranges from pensions to a selection of 4- and 5-star hotels which can become busy during school holidays. Also popular for a winter sunshine break.
Los Cristianos
Los Cristianos is the quieter alternative to nearby Playa de las Americas, and is very popular with families and couples. It makes an ideal base for exploring the island, or a good spot just to soak up the sun. There are plenty of bars and clubs, but the atmosphere is buzzing rather than frantic. British holidaymakers are well catered for, from themed pubs and restaurants to familiar brands in the local supermarkets. The resort is set amongst steep hills, which may provide problems for the less mobile.
Playa de las Americas
A mecca for clubbers from all over Europe, Playa de las Americas is at its most hectic during July and August. But the resort also caters for families with its water park, beautiful beaches, day cruises and sports facilities. Accommodation can be found in the middle of the resort or on the outskirts, for those who prefer not to be part of the all-night party scene. The resort is quieter during the “low season” of May, June and September, and is also popular for winter sun breaks.
Puerto de la Cruz
The very first tourist destination on Tenerife, Puerto de la Cruz has grown over the decades to accommodate the increasing number of visitors to the island. It is still very much a thriving Spanish town, with locals mingling with tourists in the various restaurants and nightspots. The weather is slightly cooler than the south, but the sub-tropical climate provides a sumptuous array of vegetation. The resort is set amongst steep hills and cliffs, which may cause difficulties for the less mobile. Best for couples and families.
