Canary Island Holidays

The Hotel Blue Sea Puerto Resort and Spa is one of the most popular hotels on the island and boasts panoramic views of Mount Teide from its enviable location in Puerto de la Cruz, right next to the sea. The hotel has its own spa and is set within its own gardens, so is the perfect place for a relaxing holiday.

The Compostela Beach Golf Club II Apartments are a great option for families and golf lovers in Playa de las Americas. They are close to all of the main attractions in the area, including water parks, wildlife parks and golf courses. At just 800m away from the beach, they are perfect for a fun-filled beach holiday.

One of the must see attractions in Tenerife is Mount Teide, where you can walk or get the cable car to the highest point in Spain for amazing views of the island. Children will love Loro Parque where you can see dolphin and parrot shows, and the whole family will enjoy a full day out at Siam Park, the biggest water park on the island. If you love walking, then the Masca Valley is one of the best hikes in the Canaries, where you can trek through ravines and see majestic waterfalls before cooling off at the small beach at the end of the trek. Another great day out is a boat trip to see the resident whales and dolphins that live in the surrounding clear, warm waters.

The beaches on Tenerife range from black sand coves backed by palm trees like La Arena, which boasts great views of Los Gigantes cliffs, to long golden stretches of sand, such as Las Vistas between Los Cristianos and Playa de las Americas. Tenerife beaches also boast amazing water sports facilities - head to El Medano to try your hand at windsurfing. For a cosmopolitan beach where you can find bars and restaurants lining the promenade, Playa Jardin in Puerto de la Cruz is really popular with the locals.

The Hotel Blue Sea Los Fiscos is in the old town of Puerto del Carmen, just 900m from the beach and 500m from the town centre, where you will find a wide range of shops, bars and restaurants. It is just a 15 minute transfer from the airport, which makes this hotel handy if you’re travelling with little ones. The all-inclusive option will mean that you will have an utterly stress-free holiday.

For a bit of luxury in Lanzarote, the Dream Gran Castillo in Playa Blanca is an ideal choice. There are five swimming pools and a range of restaurants and bars, from buffet style to a la carte, serving traditional Canarian and international dishes.

The Timanfaya National Park is a must-visit and will entertain the whole family. Kids especially will love how the staff display the intense heat of the park’s earth, simply by showing that water turns into jets of steam moments after touching the ground. Lanzarote is also home to the largest aquarium in the Canary Islands, where you can even swim with sharks! Rancho Texas theme park is another family favourite, whilst the Wild West themed park offers animal shows, cowboy displays, rides and BBQs with evening entertainment.

The Papagayo beaches are probably the most famous in Lanzarote - the small coves are part of a protected nature reserve and are a peaceful place to swim and snorkel. Las Cucharas is another popular beach in Costa Teguise, a long golden stretch that is popular with windsurfers. For a palm tree lined promenade complete with a range of shops and bars, head to El Reducto beach, located in the island’s capital, Arrecife.

The Blue Sea Caleta Garden Apartments are located right in the centre of Caleta de Fuste, within walking distance of the nearest beach and the local restaurants, shops and bars. The apartments are great for families, with a separate children’s pool, play area and games room.

The main restaurant serves buffet style breakfast, lunch and dinner.

The Baku Europark has water slides, wave machines, climbing walls, animal enclosures and even a haunted house.

The markets in Jandia occur every Thursday from 10am until 2pm and have everything you can imagine, from local crafts and souvenirs, to tasty snacks and even surfing equipment! Another day trip that will amaze the whole family is the glass-bottomed boat trips around the island where you get to see the colourful marine life.
