Canary Islands

With near-perfect temperatures year-round, the Canary Islands continue to keep visitors coming back. Yet it’s not just the warmth that draws people in; the beautiful landscapes, beaches, fine hotels, and family-friendly resorts are also a big pull. Sweeping countryside dominates the landscape, where you will witness extreme contrasts between the islands, from the stark flatlands flanking Tenerife’s Mount Teide, to the volcanic peaks of Lanzarote, and the steep slopes and deep valleys of Gran Canaria. With great landscapes come equally great opportunities to explore, with visitors able to hike the many footpaths intersecting the islands, including meandering coastal trails, challenging mountain treks, and tranquil forest walks. Other activities include diving and snorkelling, riding the wind and waves with watersports, and enjoying leisurely boat trips. Gran Canaria’s soft rolling dunes, Tenerife’s sandy golden arcs, and Lanzarote’s black volcanic sand make for beautiful beaches, providing a major attraction for tourists wanting to relax and soak up the sun.
