Tenerife For The Best Holidays

There is no doubt that Tenerife is a top choice among holidaymakers, in fact, 1000s of people choose this destination year in and year out, including families, couples, groups, and those travelling alone.

Being an easy 4-5 hour flight from places in Northern Europe, a holiday to Tenerife provides a family-friendly trip that offers both summer and winter sun. There is always somewhere to go and something to do and the beaches are wonderful too.

The Best Time To Go To Tenerife

What are the best months to go to Tenerife?

One of the big attractions for holidaymakers is the fact that you are pretty much guaranteed to get good weather regardless of when you go. Thanks to the warm climate, the Tenerife weather feels like Spring or Summer whenever you go.

There are 2 high seasons in Tenerife: Summer (July and August in particular) and Winter. The prices for flights and hotels go up quite a lot in the Summer months but there are still deals to be found. Family holidays are especially common in the summer. Winter is also popular but the pace is a little slower and the vibe tends to be more quiet compared to other months in peak season.

How To Travel To Tenerife

The ease of travel makes holidays to Tenerife popular. From most airports in Northern Europe, it’s just a 4-5 hour flight.

The high season will mean paying more for a flight, however, if you choose a day that is less in-demand, as well as a time that is not particularly convenient, you can get a better deal. This means that Tenerife can still be affordable.
