Book a package holiday to Tenerife

If you’re thinking of booking a hotel in Tenerife, you should first consider the purpose of your trip. Party holidays, sporting activities and plenty of other action are particularly available in the south of Tenerife. If you’d prefer to take things at a more leisurely pace, you should head to the north of the island. And if you’re planning a holiday with children, you’ll find plenty of club hotels around Costa Adeje. Once you’ve decided on your holiday region in Tenerife, there’s nothing to stop you from booking your hotel.

Booking a holiday in Tenerife: these are the island’s most beautiful beaches

Anyone booking a holiday in Tenerife is sure to be looking for beautiful beaches. Whether you’re a sports enthusiast, a hiker or a party-goer: you’re bound to spend at least one day – and probably several – by the sea. That’s why we recommend keeping an eye on the island’s most beautiful beaches before you book your hotel. You can find an overview of the beaches here.

Booking a holiday in Tenerife: Family holidays in the north

The tourist hubs in the north are Puerto de la Cruz and the Orotava Valley. This region is particularly well-suited for families. With Loro Parque, Puerto is home to one of the world’s most beautiful wildlife parks. You’ll also find Playa Jardin, one of Tenerife’s most beautiful beaches. A variety of excursions are easily accessible from there, such as a trip up Mount Teide.

The hotel scene in Puertos has developed over time and is well-established. The full range is on offer, from budget accommodation right through to five-star hotels with large swimming pools. It is only during Carnival and in the winter months that many hotels get busy. Otherwise, there are usually plenty of rooms available.

Booking Tenerife: Fun & Action in the South

In the south of Tenerife, it’s all about fun and entertainment. Siam Park in Costa Adeje is Europe’s largest water park. From turbo slides to wave pools, it has it all. What’s more, the south is home to a particularly large number of golf courses. Compared to the north of Tenerife, the south offers a particularly high guarantee of sunshine. This makes the south the ideal destination for sun-worshippers and beach holidaymakers too.

Tenerife hotels: Rooms vary greatly

In the south in particular, many hotels feature modern facilities. Around Costa Adeje there are numerous new buildings with lifts, water parks and lavish dining rooms. Family-friendly hotels in Canary Islands style and more affordable hotels, on the other hand, are mainly found in the north. There, alongside new buildings, there are also various accommodation options at reasonable prices.

Hotel standards on Tenerife

Hotel standards on Tenerife are on a par with those in Central Europe. However, particularly in the north, with the more affordable options, it can be the case that hotels are getting on a bit and the facilities are consequently somewhat dated. The higher-priced rooms, in particular, are being refurbished more and more frequently, though, so there is something to suit every type of holidaymaker, even in the north of the island.
