When to book and how long to stay.
To enjoy the best rates and accommodation options, we recommend booking your trip at least 3-5 months in advance if you are travelling during the high season (July-August).
The ideal length of stay to explore Tenerife at a leisurely pace is 7 to 10 days, especially if you want to combine relaxing on the beach with hiking and excursions.
Where to stay in Tenerife: the best area for your travel style.
Tenerife has very different areas between the north and south. If you are travelling in summer, you will be particularly interested in the south of the island because of its drier climate, longer hours of sunshine and better access to beaches.

Essential activities to enjoy in summer.
Beaches.
You can’t come to Tenerife without enjoying its beaches. Some of the best in summer are:
- Fañabé Beach: white sand, perfect for families.
- Playa del Duque: quieter and more exclusive.
- La Caleta Beach: ideal for relaxing with views of the volcanoes.
Excursions to Mount Teide.
Teide National Park is one of Spain’s most impressive landscapes. You can take the cable car up or hike at sunrise or sunset. Remember to bring warm clothing: even in summer it gets chilly at high altitudes.
Whale watching.
From Puerto Colón, very close to Costa Adeje, you can book a catamaran trip to see dolphins and whales in the wild. An unforgettable experience for all ages.
Tenerife is perfect for travelling with children. In summer, water parks such as Siam Park and Aqualand are a must-visit. You can also enjoy kayaking, mini golf and aquariums.
Canarian cuisine in summer.
In summer, in addition to traditional tapas, you can try:
- Salads with avocado and local tuna.
- Wrinkled potatoes with green and red mojo sauce.

- And desserts such as bienmesabe or homemade tropical fruit ice cream.
Tips for planning your trip in advance.
- Book flights and hotels as soon as possible, especially if you are travelling in July or August.
