Frequently Asked Questions
One of Tenerife's greatest assets is that it is a genuinely year-round beach destination. Summer months from June to September bring warm temperatures of around 28°C to 32°C and are ideal for those wanting a classic sun and sea holiday. However, the winter months from October through to April are equally appealing, with mild temperatures averaging between 20°C and 24°C making Tenerife one of Europe's finest winter sun escapes. There is truly no bad time to visit, which is why it remains one of the UK's most booked destinations throughout the calendar year.
Tenerife has an excellent spread of resorts to suit different holiday styles. Playa de las Americas is lively and action-packed, ideal for younger travellers and groups. Los Cristianos offers a slightly more relaxed atmosphere while retaining a wide choice of restaurants, shops, and beach facilities. Costa Adeje is the premium choice for couples and luxury seekers, with upscale hotels and a polished resort environment. El Médano is popular with watersports enthusiasts, and Puerto de la Cruz in the north appeals to those wanting culture, botanical gardens, and a more traditional Canarian atmosphere.
Tenerife is one of Europe's very best family beach holiday destinations. The island offers calm waters and safe beaches across its southern resorts, and Siam Park in Costa Adeje is consistently rated among the top water parks in Europe, providing a full day of thrills for children and adults alike. Family all inclusive resorts are widely available and offer pools, entertainment programmes, kids' clubs, and varied dining options that take the stress out of travelling with children. The short flight time from the UK also makes it a practical and comfortable choice for families.
Tenerife has one of the finest selections of all inclusive beach resorts available to UK travellers anywhere in Europe. From large resort complexes in Playa de las Americas with multiple pools, live entertainment, and sprawling buffet restaurants to premium adults-only all inclusive properties in Costa Adeje with rooftop infinity pools and à la carte dining, the range is impressive. Johnson Holidays offers a hand-selected portfolio of all inclusive Tenerife packages with return flights from multiple UK airports, giving you a complete and fully protected holiday at a fixed price.
Tenerife is a wonderful choice for couples and honeymooners. Costa Adeje in particular has developed into one of the Canary Islands' most romantic addresses, with luxury five-star hotels, clifftop restaurants, sunset sailing trips, and a beautifully landscaped coastline. Couples can enjoy spa days, private beach experiences, whale watching cruises, and scenic drives through the island's stunning interior. For honeymooners wanting a blend of relaxation, indulgence, and natural beauty without the long-haul journey, Tenerife offers outstanding value and an genuinely memorable setting.
Tenerife offers far more than beautiful beaches. Mount Teide, Spain's highest peak and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, dominates the island's skyline and can be visited via cable car for breathtaking panoramic views across the island and beyond. Loro Parque in Puerto de la Cruz is one of Europe's most acclaimed animal parks, perfect for families. The Anaga Rural Park offers dramatic hiking through ancient laurel forests, while Masca village and the Teno Rural Park provide stunning scenery for those wanting to explore beyond the resort areas.
Flights from the UK to Tenerife South Airport typically take around four hours and fifteen minutes to four and a half hours, making it one of the more accessible warm weather destinations available from British airports. Tenerife North Airport also receives some UK flights and is more convenient for those staying in the northern part of the island. Direct flights operate from a wide range of UK departure points including London Gatwick, Manchester, Birmingham, Bristol, Edinburgh, and Belfast, with both charter and scheduled services running throughout the year.
