What you need is a holiday in a place that has a great climate all year round, a place that has great sandy beaches but also offers so much more when you get tired of playing in the sun. But does such a place exist? Tenerife could be the closest thing we have in Europe to such a resort!
One of the enduring images of Tenerife is the majestic mount Teide and its surrounding national park. It dominates the island and if you have the stamina to hike up this very dormant volcano, it provides you with a breath-taking view of the Island. The Parque National les Canades Del Teide boasts strange rock formations which were formed long ago by volcanic activity and are well worth seeing.
Taking advantage of the wildlife on offer
It is also not the only park which is open to tourists. For those of a less strenuous nature there is Loro Park (Parrot Park) and Forestel Park or Punta Del Teno, where the sea meets the cliffs in spectacular fashion.
There is no shortage of places to stay, but if you fancy a bit of seclusion then I suggest you investigate private villas in Tenerife. It will give you a home from home and offers a real Spanish flavour.
If you are keen to see the region via car, there are plenty of stunning valleys and some are equipped with uniquely steep roads that are perfect for any genuine adrenaline junkies.
Perhaps one of the most bizarre attractions is the Carnival de Tenerife, which offers a whole range of weird and wonderful events. The more exotic events include beauty pageants in Santa Cruz, plenty of cross dressing and ‘full on’ music and dancing.
Taking in the nightlife
The nightlife on offer is similar to the majority of top quality holiday resorts, with plenty of restaurants and bars serving fresh local dishes, you can sit outside and people-watch. Later on, for those who want to party there is a good clubbing scene.
Tenerife is approximately a five-hour flight from most British airports and because it has such a long period of sustained warmth, you can consider most times of the year a great time to visit. For those on a budget, it is worth looking for affordable villas with James Villas. You could share the accommodation and ease your finances, for example.
