We are giving you the chance to shake off the Christmas hangover with a sun filled fortnight of fun or relaxation on the eternally popular holiday island of Tenerife.

Lying some 3000km south of the UK and Ireland, Tenerife revels in a warm and sunny year round climate. The island is well known as a popular tourist destination and as a result of its popularity Tenerife is well geared up for the modern tourist. Tenerife has a multitude of attractions and sights to marvel at. There really is something for everyone to enjoy here. There is a fabulous water park called Siam Park. Siam Park in Playa de Las Americas is larger than Wet and Wild in Florida and has a wave machine where you can even try surfing with qualified instructors in a safer environment than in the sea.

The coastline of the island is stunning. There are golden sand beaches on which you can top up your sun tan. Over the past few years the island has been thoroughly modernised. You can still find bustling bars along the seafront, but there are now an amazing array of high quality restaurants for you to enjoy serving almost every type of cuisine imaginable. Tenerife is now considered one of the best golf resorts in the world. There are numerous world class golf courses on the island, with many new ones currently under construction. The island nature of Tenerife ensures that water based activities are in abundance. From whale and dolphin watching from the deck of a luxury catamaran, searching for Atlantic Rays and Angel Sharks on a scuba diving expedition or simply marveling at the stunning coastline from the a pedalo there really is a lot on offer.

Aside from the coastline, the interior of the island is equally spectacular. The focal point of the island is the majestic Mount Teide. Standing nearly 4,000m tall, Mount Teide is the highest point in all Spanish territory. Teide is surrounded by a national park. This area of pine forests are very popular with hill walkers, trekkers, and mountain bikers. There really is some amazing scenery and views to be found here.

Although the majority of Tenerife is thoroughly modernised, you can still find traditional Canarian villages, where you can see the old ways in custom still in operation. You can buy all manner of local produce in traditional villages such as Masca and Vilaflor. Artesan crafts, goats cheese and local wine are particular popular and offer a different sort of holiday gift for your friends back home. The village of Vilaflor lies nestled beneath the peak of Mount Teide and is the highest village in the whole of Spain. If you are travelling to this village in Winter be sure to take a jacket as temperatures are considerably lower than the ones found on the golden beaches of Los Cristianos.

Costa Adeje GolfAnother village worth paying a visit to is La Caleta. This once fishing village has now become famous for gastronomy. There are numerous restaurants which serve fresh locally caught fish and seafood. The village is within easy walking distance of the Costa Adeje Golf Course, which has brought a greater number of people to the area.

There are numerous holiday resorts along the south and west coast of Tenerife. From Golf del Sur, to Costa del Silencio. Los Cristianos to Fañabe and Callao Salvaje to Los Gigantes, there is plenty to see and do, with each resort offering something slightly different.

holiday rentals Canary IslandsCloser to home, islands such as the Canary Islands and Malta and Gozo offer a very similar winter temperature to the Caribbean but without having to take a long haul flight. The Canary Islands are famous for their year round spring like temperatures and this is one of the reasons that this group of seven islands has remained so popular with holidaymakers for decades. Tenerife, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote and Fuerteventura are well known as resorts which have a little something for everyone. The weather is pleasant during the winter on these islands and they are well adapted for large scale tourism with a wide array of entertainment, nightlife and sightseeing opportunities.

Malta and Gozo share a similarity with the Canary Islands. Malta and Gozo enjoy an average winter temperature of around 15ºC with sunny days and slightly cooler nights. These two well established tourist islands boast a wide array of activities and things to keep you entertained whilst taking a holiday here. Only a short flight time of around three and a half hours from most airports in the UK and Ireland is what is preventing you from enjoying these warmer winter temperatures.

Tenerife holiday rentals apartments, villas and houses direct from the ownerAffectionately known as “the island of eternal Spring ” Tenerife has proved to be firm favourite with holidaymakers for decades and it is easy to see why. The island lies some 400km west of the coastline of Morocco. As a result of the geographical location of the island, Tenerife is bathed in sunshine for the majority of the year and benefits from both the warm Saharan winds and the cooler Atlantic Ocean breeze. The island is dominated by the majestic Mount Teide which stands nearly 4,000m above sea level and can be viewed from every part of the island. Teide provides Tenerife with not only a varied number of “outdoor” activities such as hill walking, climbing and cycling, but it serves as a stunning background whether posing for holiday snaps or simply sunbathing on the beach. In fact, during the Winter months you can lie on the golden sands of Playa de Las Vistas and clearly see the snow capped mountain peak in the distance.

As a firm favourite with holidaymakers over the last few decades Tenerife is well geared up to deal with the amount of tourism that it receives. The island has made huge investments over the last few years. There are two airports which serve the north and south respectively. As a result, every resort on the island is only a thirty minute drive from the international airports.  Resorts such as Los Cristianos and Callao Salvaje are a quickly and easily accessible from the airport and there are regular bus services which run throughout the day.
