Enjoy a Tenerife holiday and uncover a treasure trove of exciting possibilities

Enjoying a subtropical climate, striking landscapes and warm Atlantic waters, Tenerife is a treasure trove of discovery. Whether it’s relaxing on a sun-drenched beach or enjoying an adrenaline-pumping adventure, a Tenerife holiday offers unmatched variety for sports and outdoor activities.

From the dramatic volcanic landscapes of Teide National Park perfect for paragliding, hiking and stargazing to kitesurfing at El Médano, the island’s wind capital to diving and snorkeling amongst the marine ecosystems at Las Galletas, Tenerife is an island of natural contrasts and an ideal destination for any number of sports and experiences.

More leisurely tourist attractions in Tenerife include whale and dolphin watching from Los Cristianos, kayaking beneath the majestic cliffs at Los Gigantes, not to forget banana boat fun at Puerto Colón Harbour.

There are so many things to do in Tenerife, Spain that you can go from trekking through lush forests in the morning to relaxing on black sand beaches in the afternoon; the choice is yours to make, but the possibilities are endless.

Away from the hustle and bustle of the Tenerife resorts lies an opportunity to discover the rich culture and history of Tenerife.

Once the wealthiest town in Tenerife, Garachico sits on the north coast of the island sheltered by a dramatic 500-meter cliff. Founded by a Genoa banker in 1496, it is renowned for its artistic heritage. The Plaza de la Libertad and Castle of San Miguel offer a glimpse into the island’s past.

La Oratava is a town famous for its narrow, cobbled streets, pastel painted houses and traditional wooden balconies whilst Masca is probably the most beautiful village in Tenerife.

Tenerife is home to a selection of vineyards showcasing the island’s unique flavors. Wine tastings can be enjoyed at many including Bodegas Tajinaste and Bodegas Ferrera. This wine culture has generated the pop up guachinches that appear at the end of every wine harvest. Here you can enjoy simple cuisine such as grilled meats and papas arrugadas with the Canarian staple mojo sauce.

There are so many ways to tempt your taste buds with traditional food in Tenerife from garbanzada to creamy fresco goat cheese to ropa vieja. For contrast, there are also eight Michelin-starred restaurants on the island.

Dining in Tenerife never disappoints!

Tenerife boasts a packed calendar of events and festivals throughout the year. No matter when you want to take a Tenerife holiday, there will be an event to enjoy.

The Santa Cruz Carnival takes place between February and March and is the largest event in the Canary Islands and Spain. With parades, street parties and all night long celebrations, it’s one not to be missed.

August sees the pilgrimage of the Virgin of Candelaria where thousands leave their local towns to take part in the island's longest-standing pilgrimage. Then, November welcomes the Fiesta de San Andrés which takes place in Puerto de la Cruz and La Orotava. Traditionally wine cellars are opened up and the new wine is tasted during this event.

Fiestas are one of the most colorful and interesting aspects of life on the island. Although there isn’t a particular fiesta season, there are literally hundreds throughout the year as each neighborhood and town celebrates their own event. May to September often sees 60 celebrations a month!

There’s certainly no shortage of Tenerife festivals to enjoy.
