The Canary Islands is a sun-soaked Spanish archipelago off the northwest coast of Africa, and is an ideal year-round holiday destination. With a wide range of accommodation available you can choose stylish villas with private pools such as this villa in Puerto Calero, or book a family friendly yurt holiday on this finca by the beach in Lanzarote.
In the Canary Islands you'll find there is accommodation on offer for everything from group get togethers, family holidays, and romantic escapes for couples (how about this charming fisherman’s cottage, or this converted water tower for example?). Climate is one of the main reasons people choose a holiday in the Canary Islands. It has mild temperatures and year round sunshine, and is ideal for both winter and summer breaks - especially good for anyone wanting to escape the colder winter months in the UK!
Each island is different - Tenerife has dramatic volcanic landscapes and family-friendly resorts; Lanzarote is known for its artistic flair and otherworldly terrain; Gran Canaria combines golden beaches with mountain villages; and Fuerteventura is a paradise for surfers and wind sports enthusiasts. Booking your own accommodation allows you to experience the islands at your own pace. Self-catering villas and apartments give you the freedom to explore local markets, try traditional Canarian cuisine, and enjoy relaxed meals on your own terrace. Many holiday rentals also come with private pools, sea views, and spacious gardens — perfect for couples, families, or groups of friends wanting both privacy and space.
The Canary Islands are also brimming with things to do and outdoor activities. Hiking trails through volcanic craters, boat trips to spot dolphins and whales, UNESCO-protected biospheres and national parks are just some of the activities on offer. For beach lovers, the islands have miles upon miles of golden or black sand, and water sports such as diving, paddleboarding, and kite surfing are popular year-round.
