Of all the Canary Islands, Tenerife is still one of the most popular, with thousands of people flocking to its shores every summer. The only question you really need to ask yourself is where in Tenerife should you stay and what should you do once you get there – besides lie on the beautiful beaches, work on your tan and soak up the sun? Tenerife.co.uk can help you with all these choices, with their complete guide to the island along with expert local knowledge. With 346 hotels across 23 resorts, you can choose from a myriad of lodgings ranging from one star (for the budget conscious) to five stars (for those who wish to splurge) when it comes to Tenerife and Tenerife holidays.
If you’re looking for a relaxing, quiet holiday with some of the most spectacular views of the Mount Teide volcano, then head to Bajamar, the small, sleepy fishing village on the North East coast of Tenerife. Here you can walk the Anaga Mountains, and swim in the natural rock pool.

However, if you’re looking to really kick your heels up, then Playa de las Americas is probably the most famous and popular resort for families, couples and groups. The resort boasts six beaches and a slew of water sports, including diving trips, catamaran sailing trips, paragliding, pedalos, jet skiing and water rides. This is also the place to head to if you’re looking for swinging nightlife and lots of clubs and bars.

Of course, you can take an entirely different route, and if you’re looking to combine a coastal resort holiday with a taste of traditional village life, then Los Silos is the place to go. Located on the North Western coast of Tenerife in the area known as Isla Baja or the Lowlands, the resort is a quiet picturesque town with traditional architecture as well as narrow cobbled streets with a few bars and restaurants. Head out to the Teno Rural Park, home to the forests and fields of Monte del Agua and La Tierra del Trigo, or down to one of the two main beaches — Charco de la Arana and Playa de Agua Dulce – both of which are perfect for scuba diving.
