Holidays to Tenerife

Plunging 800 metres into the Atlantic, the Los Gigantes cliffs are among the highest in Europe. They're a fittingly dramatic edge to Tenerife, one of Europe's most exciting islands. Few family holidays to Tenerife will take in the spectacle of the cliffs - you can only see them by boat, and as cheap flights to Tenerife offer an easier access to this delightful island, chances are you'll only fly over them.

What colour would you like your sand?
The cliffs are a good example of just how diverse and thrilling this island, the largest of the Canaries, really is (and you can embark on a Los Gigantes day trip, should you be suitably tempted). Most package holidays to Tenerife are centred around the island's excellent resorts and beaches, with their black volcanic sands adding a nice contrast to the island's more traditionally coloured stretches of shingle.

Resorts that bring a smile to your face
The beach at Los Cristianos, at nearly half a kilometre long, is a great spot for enjoying the warm waters which lap around the island's coast - where gentle tradewinds create all manner of water sports opportunities. Playa Paraiso or Puerto De La Cruz suits those who are looking for a more relaxed and traditional holiday. By night, resorts such as Playa de las Americas and upmarket Costa Adeje come alive with their seafront restaurants and family-run bars offering the chance to make new friends, or enjoy a romantic meal.

Feathered Friends and Fierce Creatures
Children will love the island's thrilling attractions, from the dolphin shows at AquaPark, to the Aquarium, shark tunnel and colourful parrots at Lorro Parque. But save a day to visit majestic Mount Teidi, Tenerife's fiery heart - crowned by Spain's highest mountain, at 3,800 metres above the Atlantic. With its year-round sunshine, last minute holidays to Tenerife offer your best bet for a much-needed blast of the sun - 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.
