Cheap Tenerife Holidays
Search great value holidays to Tenerife from leading tour operators.
Year-round sunshine, beautiful beaches, fantastic hotels and some of the Canary Islands’ biggest attractions make Tenerife holidays a firm favourite with UK holidaymakers. Whether you're looking for a family All Inclusive holiday, a winter sun escape, a couples' getaway or a lively break with friends, Tenerife offers an impressive choice of resorts and accommodation.
The largest of the Canary Islands, Tenerife combines modern holiday resorts with volcanic landscapes, traditional towns and dramatic mountain scenery. At the centre of the island is Mount Teide, Spain's highest peak, while around the coast you'll find everything from sandy beaches and stylish promenades to natural swimming pools and small fishing villages.
With a flight time of around four and a half hours from the UK and warm weather throughout the year, Tenerife is particularly popular for both summer holidays and winter sun holidays.
Why Choose Tenerife for Your Holiday?
One of Tenerife's biggest attractions is its versatility. You can spend your holiday relaxing beside the pool, enjoying the beaches of the south, exploring Mount Teide National Park, visiting traditional Canarian towns or enjoying some of the island's excellent restaurants, bars and attractions.
Tenerife is a great choice for:
Families – family-friendly hotels, beaches and major attractions including Siam Park
Couples – stylish hotels, beachfront restaurants and quieter resort areas
Winter sun – warm temperatures make Tenerife one of the UK's favourite winter escape destinations
All Inclusive holidays – a huge choice of hotels from good-value family properties to luxury resorts
Nightlife – Playa de las Americas remains the island's best-known nightlife destination
Luxury holidays – Costa Adeje offers some of Tenerife's most impressive four and five-star hotels
Active holidays – hiking, cycling, golf, watersports and excursions are widely available
You can also combine a Tenerife holiday with exploring the island by car, making it an excellent choice if you like to see more than just your resort.
Where Is the Best Place to Stay in Tenerife?
The best resort in Tenerife depends on the type of holiday you're looking for. Most of the island's major holiday resorts are found in the sunnier south, including Costa Adeje, Playa de las Americas and Los Cristianos, while the north offers greener scenery and a more traditional Canarian atmosphere.
Costa Adeje
Costa Adeje is one of Tenerife's most popular resorts and an excellent choice for couples, families and anyone looking for a higher standard of accommodation.
The resort stretches along Tenerife's southwest coast and offers attractive beaches, a smart promenade and an excellent selection of restaurants, bars and hotels. Accommodation ranges from family-friendly All Inclusive resorts to some of Tenerife's best luxury hotels.
Costa Adeje is also ideally placed for visiting Siam Park, enjoying boat trips from Puerto Colón or spending the day on beaches such as Playa del Duque and Playa Fañabé.
Playa de las Americas
If nightlife and entertainment are high on your holiday wish list, Playa de las Americas remains one of Tenerife's liveliest resorts.
There's much more to the area than nightlife, however. The resort has beaches, restaurants, shopping and a long seafront promenade connecting it with neighbouring Los Cristianos and Costa Adeje.
Its central location makes Playa de las Americas particularly popular with younger couples, groups of friends and holidaymakers who like plenty going on within walking distance.
Los Cristianos
Once a traditional fishing village, Los Cristianos has developed into one of Tenerife's best-known holiday resorts while retaining a slightly more relaxed atmosphere than neighbouring Playa de las Americas.
The resort has a popular beach, a busy harbour, plenty of restaurants and cafés and an attractive promenade. Ferries also leave from Los Cristianos for neighbouring Canary Islands including La Gomera.
It's a good all-round choice for couples, families and anyone who prefers a lively resort without being right in the centre of Tenerife's main nightlife.
Playa Paraíso & Callao Salvaje
Further along the southwest coast you'll find Playa Paraíso and Callao Salvaje, two increasingly popular choices for holidaymakers looking for a more relaxed alternative to Tenerife's busiest resorts.
The area is home to a growing selection of modern hotels and All Inclusive resorts while still providing easy access to Costa Adeje and the attractions of southern Tenerife.
Puerto de la Cruz
For a different side of Tenerife, consider Puerto de la Cruz on the island's north coast.
The north is noticeably greener than southern Tenerife and offers dramatic scenery, traditional architecture and a more Canarian feel.
Puerto de la Cruz has a good selection of shops, cafés, restaurants and hotels as well as the famous Lago Martiánez seawater swimming complex. It's particularly popular with couples, mature travellers and visitors who want to combine resort facilities with exploring the island.
Is Tenerife Good for Winter Sun?
Yes. Tenerife is one of the most popular winter sun destinations from the UK.
Its location off the northwest coast of Africa gives the island a mild subtropical climate, making it a popular choice when temperatures across mainland Europe are much cooler.
Southern resorts such as Costa Adeje, Playa de las Americas and Los Cristianos are particularly popular during the winter months.

When Is the Best Time to Visit Tenerife?
Tenerife is a genuine year-round holiday destination.
The summer months are ideal for hot-weather beach holidays, while autumn, winter and spring are popular with visitors looking to escape the colder UK weather.
July and August are particularly popular with families travelling during the school holidays, while the winter season attracts couples, long-stay visitors and anyone searching for sunshine without travelling long haul.
There really isn't a single best month to visit Tenerife – it depends on the type of holiday and temperatures you prefer.
Things to Do in Tenerife
There's plenty to see beyond Tenerife's beaches and hotel pools.
A trip to Mount Teide National Park is one of the island's highlights, where Tenerife's volcanic landscape provides a spectacular contrast to its coastal resorts.
Other popular experiences include Siam Park, whale and dolphin watching trips, Loro Parque, exploring traditional towns and villages, walking and hiking, golf, watersports and scenic drives through the island's mountainous interior.
Hiring a car is one of the easiest ways to explore independently, although Tenerife also has a useful public bus network connecting many of its towns and resorts.
Family Holidays to Tenerife
Tenerife is an excellent destination for a family holiday from the UK.
Many hotels offer children's pools, entertainment, kids' clubs and All Inclusive options, while the relatively manageable flight time makes the island an attractive alternative to long-haul family destinations.
Costa Adeje, Los Cristianos and the surrounding southern resorts offer particularly good choices for families, with easy access to beaches and attractions.
All Inclusive Holidays to Tenerife
There's an excellent selection of All Inclusive hotels in Tenerife, ranging from affordable family resorts to premium four and five-star properties.
All Inclusive can be particularly convenient for families who want to know more of their holiday costs before travelling, while adults-only and luxury options are also widely available.
If you'd prefer more freedom to explore Tenerife's restaurants and nightlife, you'll also find plenty of self-catering, Bed & Breakfast and Half Board holidays.
