You want your winter sun holiday to be something special. Something a little bit… magical! And maybe, just maybe, off the beaten path. Yes? Then the Canaries are where to go.

With temperatures rarely dropping 17°C, abundant golden beaches, and plenty of activities below to keep you occupied – the Canary Islands are the perfect escape for winter holidays. Popular winter sun destinations in the islands include;

Tenerife

Thanks to its warm weather, spectacular scenery, and almost otherworldly beaches, Tenerife has ‘dream holiday’ written all over it. Here you can swim with dolphins and whales, stroll around history-rich museums and villages, and, if you are up to it, indulge in some water sports like scuba diving. 

Popular beach holiday spots in Tenerife include; Costa Adeje, Los Cristianos, and Puerto de la Cruz.

Gran Canaria

There isn’t, in our humblest opinion, a more breathtaking destination for winter sun holidays than the Gran Canaria. You see, the island is a land of contrast- on one end, we have beautiful beaches, and on the other, lush pine forests and rugged mountains. 

And there’s more! The Canaria also boasts delightful cities filled with tapas bars, coffee houses, and boutique shops. So, yes, this really is the best place to take a winter break.

Pro Tip: When traveling overseas, make sure you are ATOL protected. Being ATOL-protected safeguards your money should your travel company go out of business.
