Top 7 Travel Tips in Tenerife

1. Ascend the Heights of Mount Teide

Ride the cable car to the slopes of Spain's highest peak and feel the thrill of standing above the clouds. Hike trails across the lunar-like landscape of Teide National Park where the colours of rock and sky collide. Stop to take in silence that feels as vast as the universe itself. Visit the observatory to learn how stars have guided explorers through history. Watch the sun sink behind the volcanic horizon in a blaze of colour. Stay for the night and marvel at constellations unspoiled by city lights. Let Mount Teide remind you of the power and beauty of raw nature.

2. Sail the Atlantic in Style from Los Gigantes

Charter a sleek yacht from the port of Los Gigantes and let the winds carry you beyond Tenerife's rugged coastline. Spot dolphins and whales that glide gracefully through deep blue waters. Drop anchor in secret bays like Playa de la Arena where you can swim in absolute tranquillity. Enjoy a meal on deck prepared by private chefs as waves sparkle around you. Sunbathe on cushioned loungers while the horizon stretches endlessly. Toast the day with champagne as twilight turns the sea to gold. Allow the ocean to gift you freedom and pure exhilaration.

3. Wander the Streets of La Laguna

Step into the past as you explore Tenerife's former capital and UNESCO World Heritage Site. Admire colourful mansions and wooden balconies that echo centuries of artistry. Stroll along cobbled streets where churches and convents share stories of devotion. Discover small cafés that serve aromatic coffee with irresistible pastries. Pause at quiet squares shaded by old trees where life moves slowly. Browse boutiques filled with handcrafted treasures made by local artisans. Let La Laguna's elegance and history stir your imagination with every turn.

4. Indulge in the Wines of the North in Tacoronte

Venture into the fertile valleys of Tacoronte where volcanic soil produces extraordinary vintages. Walk through terraced vineyards that roll towards the sea in perfect harmony. Meet passionate winemakers who share their craft with pride and knowledge. Taste bold reds and crisp whites paired with cheeses and delicacies of the island. Linger in rustic bodegas where time seems to pause around you. Enjoy sweeping views that make every sip more memorable. Leave with bottles that carry the essence of Tenerife's earth and sun.

5. Bask on Golden and Black Sand Beaches at Playa de Las Teresitas and Playa Jardín

Unwind on shores where nature paints the coastline in gold and obsidian. Choose vibrant resorts with endless energy or quiet coves hidden by cliffs. Swim in the warm Atlantic waters that sparkle under the island sun. Try water sports from paddleboarding to windsurfing for a surge of excitement. Stretch out on soft sand and let the rhythm of the waves soothe your spirit. Wander along beach promenades lined with bars and restaurants alive with music. Allow the contrast of colours and moods to make each day by the sea unique.

6. Dine Beneath the Stars in Guachinches in Icod de los Vinos

Seek out traditional eateries hidden in the hills of Icod de los Vinos where authenticity shines brightest. Savour hearty stews, grilled meats, and seafood cooked with rustic perfection. Pair every dish with local wines poured straight from the barrel. Sit outdoors beneath vines and lanterns while the evening grows gentle. Listen to the sound of laughter blending with music carried on the breeze. Embrace flavours that reveal the island's heritage with every bite. Let each guachinche experience connect you deeply to Tenerife's heart.

7. Dance Into the Night in Santa Cruz

Feel the island come alive as the sun sets and Santa Cruz awakens with rhythm. Start with cocktails on rooftop terraces overlooking the harbour. Move through lively tapas bars where energy fills every corner. Join locals and travellers in clubs that pulse with music until dawn. Immerse yourself in the colours of Carnival if you visit during the season. Wander through streets alive with celebration and joy at every step. Let the island's vibrant nights sweep you into a world of pure exhilaration. Booking a last minute holiday in Tenerife by the beach is a holiday dream come true!

Tips from local hosts

Where to eat, what to see, and how to make the most of your holiday based on local experience

JORGE
JORGEVerified Host
Tenerife

If you're seeking a memorable escape, I'm Jorge and I offer a welcoming stay at my holiday home in the sun-soaked Tenerife. Known for its mild climate, the southern part of the island is ideal for last-minute getaways year-round. I suggest visiting between February and April, when you can experience the rare combination of snow on Teide and the blossoming landscape alongside beach outings.

In my view, Tenerife is perfect for those who love exploring volcanic landscapes and enjoying active tourism. Here are some of my top recommendations:

  • Volcanic Adventures: Get closer to nature through hiking, cycling, or water sports like surfing and snorkelling.
  • Culinary Delights: Taste the local flavour in guachinches, where fresh, locally sourced KM0 products are served. My recommended spots include Rincón de La Fuente, El Cordero, and Xanadú for meat dishes, while Los Abrigos or Tajao are must-visits for fresh fish.
  • Pilgrimage to Candelaria: This special event transcends religious beliefs, featuring both daytime and night-time routes that I believe words can hardly describe.

As a souvenir, I suggest bringing back Canarian mojos or a unique piece made with olivine. If you're keen to enrich your understanding of the Canary Islands' cultural tapestry, I'd advise a visit to the Pirámides de Güímar Museum for a rich anthropological perspective.

Best travel time:The south of Tenerife has a mild, temperate climate all year round, so you barely notice the seasons. February to April is perhaps the best time, when you can find snow on Teide, swim at the beach and see the vegetation coming into bloom.
I recommend Tenerife for
  • Restaurants
  • Hiking
  • Water sports (surfing, snorkeling, etc.)
  • Historic sites
  • Family-friendly stay
