Canary Islands Holidays in March

The warmest and most sheltered coasts in March tend to be on the southern side of the islands, where the trade winds are less likely to cool the air.

• Costa Adeje: Costa Adeje, in the south-west of Tenerife, combines sheltered southern weather with a strong range of family hotels and beaches. In March the coast tends to feel warm enough for swimming and sunbathing, while the air stays comfortable for active days out. Its water parks and family attractions give visitors plenty to fill longer stays. It is a dependable choice for those who want consistent warmth alongside organised amenities.
• Playa de las Américas: Set on the south-west coast of Tenerife, this resort benefits from the sheltered southern climate that keeps coastal days mild in March. It offers a wide range of hotels, promenade bars and beaches within easy walking distance. The trade-off is a lively, busy atmosphere that suits travellers wanting activity around the pool and in the evenings. For a warm base with plenty to do, we think it is one of the most reliable March choices. It is exactly the brief our Tenerife holidays deals are built around.
• Maspalomas: On the south coast of Gran Canaria, Maspalomas enjoys dependable southern sunshine that makes March feel distinctly like spring. The resort sits beside the dunes and a long sandy shoreline, giving a relaxed setting for warm afternoons. Its relaxed resort feel is more measured than the nightlife-led south-west resorts, which many couples and families value. We recommend it for guests who want warmth with a calmer daily rhythm.

• Playa Blanca: Playa Blanca lies in the south of Lanzarote, where the island's low-lying southern coast typically feels warmer and calmer in March. The resort offers sandy beaches and a quieter pace than the larger tourist centres. Its ferry links to Fuerteventura also make it an easy base for a short island-hopping trip. We see it as a strong choice for guests wanting sunshine with a peaceful setting. It is exactly the brief our Lanzarote holidays deals are built around.
• Corralejo: Corralejo, at the north tip of Fuerteventura, gives a warm, breezy setting that is ideal for beach and water sports lovers in March. The sandy beaches stretch beside the Corralejo Dunes Natural Park, which is a striking place to walk in mild weather. Winds can be stronger here than on the south of the island, so the coast suits those who enjoy an active day on the water. It is an excellent March base for sand, dunes and a relaxed village atmosphere. It is exactly the brief our Fuerteventura holidays deals are built around.
