The top 5 things to see/do in Tenerife

1. Teide National Park

Hotel Spa Villalba 4*

This is Europe's most frequented national park for a reason. The country's tallest mountain, Mt Teide, is accessible by glorious hikes or easy cable car rides. What makes this volcanic park so popular? It's a surreal, lunar-like landscape with exceptional sea-reaching panoramic views.

2. Beach-bound fun

Iberostar Grand Hotel Mencey 5*

Tenerife's beaches are incredible. Even in the heart of January, you can still take to the waters without feeling much of a chill. Top spots include Playa del Duque on the west coast with its aqua-blue waters and fine facilities.

3. Siam Park

Canaries Autotour

Siam Park, the island's biggest theme park, is a top suggestion for families. The somewhat kitsch Thai-themed grounds are home to impressive lazy river rides and massive power slides. It's the perfect option for those sweltering summer days.

4. Anaga Mountains

The Anaga Mountains are one of Tenerife's top hiking spots. Just moments from Santa Cruz de Tenerife, these wild and rugged landscapes provide the perfect setting for adventure. It's an ancient land home to peaks, forests and old farm terraces.

5. Acantilados de Los Gigantes

Coral Ocean View 4*

The "Cliffs of the Giants" are a stretch of soaring cliffs along Tenerife's west coast. The surrounding black sandy beaches make for fascinating viewpoints. If you can, book a boat trip for the most impressive views accompanied by inquisitive dolphins.

The cliff and mountain trails are cooler then and the surf season is in full swing. Winter, too, is exceptional on Tenerife. While some services close, you're in for majestic and tranquil experiences. Temperatures stay around 20°C and rain is scant, particularly in the south. Whatever season you pick, you’ll soon discover why Tenerife is known as the land of eternal spring.
