Tenerife

Where is Tenerife?

Tenerife is a beautiful island located in the Atlantic Ocean, a magical corner of Spain bordered by other marvelous islands like La Palma, La Gomera, and El Hierro. Its capital, Santa Cruz de Tenerife, is famous for hosting a spectacular carnival recognized worldwide.

With over 2,000 km² of land and a consistently pleasant climate, Tenerife offers a unique combination of four essential elements: the vastness of the Atlantic, a wild and captivating nature, a wide range of high-quality services, and the warmth and vitality inherent to its people as well as its typical gastronomy.

What to do during your vacation in Tenerife?

The island offers you thousands of options and excursions. Such as its long sandy beaches and unspoiled bays that can only be reached on foot or by boat. One of the prettiest is found by walking from Igueste, on the Anaga coast; locals know it as Playa de Antequera.  Discover beautiful beaches where you can enjoy the sea in a variety of ways: laying down in the sun, surfing, diving… whatever you’re looking for, you’ll find it here. Discover an endless choice of experiences: unspoiled beaches, scenic lookout points, local celebrations, traditional food and the stunning Teide National Park.

In addition, Tenerife has a volcanic soul like so many of the islands belonging to this archipelago, but it’s on Tenerife that you can see its effervescent beginnings most clearly. As well as being the highest mountain in Spain, Teide is the third biggest volcano on the planet, just behind Manua Loa and Manua Kea in Hawaii. In fact, an enormous volcanic mountain range crosses this island from one coast to the other.

Bear in mind that one of the island’s big advantages is that in just a short amount of time you can travel from the north to the south and have access to diverse scenery, from the lush green of the north to the sand dunes of the south. You can enjoy a varied vacation without having to travel thousands of kilometers.

Where to stay in Tenerife?

If you still haven’t decided where to stay on the island, don’t think twice, stay at Bahia Principe. If you’re looking for a lively and colorful vacation, take a look at Costa Adeje. It’s found in the south-east of the island and has beautiful walks where you can go shopping, a wide selection of activities such as the Siam Water Park and spectacular beaches close by with every service you could ever need in order to enjoy a few comfortable days in the sun.

If you would prefer a vacation of pure sun and relaxation, explore the Golf del Sur area, ideal for families, as you’ll only have to worry about enjoying the moment. In addition, this area has some great golf courses, so whether you’re a golf lover or not, this could be your chance to try it and a great opportunity to discover something new.

If you want a vacation right next to the beach just a short walk from the city, take a look at Puerto de la Cruz. You’ll find somewhere next to the beach where you won’t have to give up that city feel for all your vacation needs.
