Tenerife

Why Go

With a year round climate offering sunny days whenever you travel, Tenerife holidays are a sure bet for those seeking a lively, sizzling time amid family friendly resorts, good value restaurants and dramatic, black sand beaches (although, in some areas, sand has been shipped in from the Sahara to give the coastline a golden touch). Tenerife actually experiences the lowest temperature difference between winter and summer than anywhere in the world.

So, when do we recommend is the best time to look for cheap holidays in Tenerife? Now is good! The south of the island is where you'll head for no-nonsense, traditional resorts, serviced by an unbeatable range of self catering accommodation and well run hotels and apartments. Tenerife holidays offer easy access to the island's dramatic beauty. Its subtropical, lush interior, capped by striking Mount Teide is unlike anywhere else in Europe. Watersports enthusiasts will love Tenerife's onshore breezes, creating the perfect conditions for surfers, and divers will be drawn to the plunging cliffs of the north, attracting a wealth of underwater life.

If you want a Tenerife holiday that won't fail to deliver enjoyment for all, the island's well loved resorts such as Playa de las Americas, Los Cristianos, La Pineda, Puerto de la Cruz and La Caleta offer everything from peaceful, laid-back relaxation to full on thrills day and night. As volcanic outcrops go, Tenerife is more paradise than pumice stone. And, frankly, these days, you're more likely to find the lager flowing than the lava. That's perhaps why so many of us love this perennially sunny chunk of land, cast off into the north Atlantic.
