If there is any place on this earth that enjoys a better year-round climate than Tenerife, then do tell us about it. There is very little variation in the average temperatures between the four seasons, with average daily highs hovering between 21ºC and 28ºC, and there is very little rain especially on the southern part of the island. Tenerife is the largest of the Canary Islands and measures 60 miles long and up to 38 miles wide and is dominated in the centre by the 12,000-ft Pico del Teide mountain range. The main resorts are Playa de Las Americas, Costa Adeje and Los Cristianos in the dryer south and Puerto del la Cruz in the greener north. The southern resorts have the best beaches with many being man-made with imported sand from the Sahara desert. Nightlife lovers would be best located at Playa de Las Americas with Veronica’s being the “in-place” from dusk to dawn. Tenerife really does have something to offer all taste from disco’s to tea shops and a host of other pleasures in-between.

Free child places - Holidays, Hotels & Apartments. Our dynamic search does all the hard work in sourcing holidays with free child places. It searches from self catering holidays right through to all inclusive holidays with free child places and only returns the best deal found. All you need to do is enter the childrens ages on the last day of the holiday and the database will show the best deal available. If your party includes teenagers above 11 then you must enter these as adults as the airline will charge an adult fare. If your family includes infants then excluded them in the search (i.e. don't class them as a child) but do call us before booking so that we can ensure that a cot is available. Not sure! then play safe and give us a call as you'll find us very family friendly.
