Canary Islands Holidays in November

The southern and eastern islands tend to hold the most consistent warmth through the autumn months, so these are the places to look at first if sun is your priority.

• Playa Blanca: Playa Blanca sits in the south of Lanzarote, where the island's sheltered coastline and sandy beaches make it one of the more reliable places to sit outdoors in November. The resort is a practical base for a warm-weather trip, and its ferry links to Fuerteventura from nearby Corralejo mean you can add a second island without changing your accommodation. The trade-off is that it is a quieter resort than the larger south-west centres, so evening entertainment is limited and you will want to plan dining in advance. For a steady, sunny November with easy access to other islands, it is a strong choice. It is exactly the brief our Lanzarote holidays deals are built around.
• Costa Adeje: Costa Adeje is a resort area in the south-west of Tenerife that benefits from the island's southern climate, where the coastline receives plenty of sun through the autumn. The area has a wide choice of hotels and family attractions, along with a range of beaches that suit both quiet mornings and busier afternoons. Expect more visitors here than on the island's quieter northern coast, which can mean busier restaurants but also a more reliable choice of open facilities. It is a sensible choice if you want warmth combined with a full range of amenities, and the south of the island is the place to start. value-led deals It is exactly the brief our Tenerife holidays deals are built around.
• Maspalomas: Maspalomas, on the southern coast of Gran Canaria, offers a dry, sunny setting that suits a November beach holiday, with the dunes and the lighthouse giving the area a distinctive backdrop. The resort is known for its relaxed feel, and its golf courses and wide sandy beaches make it appealing for travellers who want to spend the days outdoors. The area can feel busy at weekends, but the pace is generally easygoing through the month. For a warm base with plenty of outdoor options, it works well in November.

• Corralejo: Corralejo, at the north tip of Fuerteventura, is a practical choice for November if you want warm days and a more open landscape. The fishing village is close to the Corralejo Dunes Natural Park, and the island's exposure to the trade winds means it can feel breezier than the south. That breeze is welcome for some travellers and less so for others, so it is worth bringing layers for the evenings. We find the island suits travellers who value wide beaches and a slower village rhythm. Fuerteventura holidays
• Puerto de la Cruz: Puerto de la Cruz on the north coast of Tenerife tends to be cooler and cloudier than the south of the island, which is worth knowing before you book a November stay. The town has volcanic black-sand beaches, gardens and a traditional old quarter, and it is a good base if you want culture and walking rather than guaranteed sunshine. Expect milder temperatures on the coast and cooler conditions in the evening. It is a better fit for travellers who prefer a gentle, traditional stay than for those chasing hot beach days.
