Tenerife

The South of Tenerife is a haven for all those looking for wonderful winter sun from November to April. The island has been a firm favourite for British visitors and rightly so given the natural beauty of this stunning volcanic Island. It boasts 43 protected areas including the Teide National Park, which has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Beautiful beaches of golden and black sand are plentiful in both the North and the South as are the selection of upmarket beach clubs and roof top bars. In the waters to the south of the Island, around three miles from the coast, you can cruise among cetaceans 365 days a year. Tenerife is one of the best places in the world to spot them, home to a stable colony of bottlenose dolphins and around 400 pilot whales. It’s as easy as taking a trip from one of the ports on the south of the Island, from which boats, that are authorised to provide this service, depart.

Tenerife’s gastronomy has evolved in recent years and has given rise to creative and original cuisine, with quality products such as tuna, bananas and avocados, all accompanied by local wines, whose history dates back to the 15th century. Currently, five of the Island’s restaurants have Michelin stars, reflecting the quality of a cuisine that’s worth savouring.

We are thrilled to be offering this lovely island with its abundance of traditions, cuisine, nature and leisure activities.
