Cheap Holidays to Canary Islands

The busiest resort areas offer the widest choice of hotels, restaurants and beach facilities for a straightforward sunshine break.

• Costa Adeje: Costa Adeje, on the south-west coast of Tenerife, combines a long run of resort hotels with family attractions and water parks within a short walk of several sandy beaches. Its large number of properties gives a broad range of prices, so budget-minded travellers can often find a clean, well-located room without paying a premium for the location. The trade-off is that the area is busy during peak months, so we recommend choosing a hotel close to the promenade for easier evenings out. For value and convenience, Tenerife holidays here remain one of our most reliable starting points.
• Maspalomas: Maspalomas in the south of Gran Canaria is known for its wide beaches and the nearby protected dunes, offering a relaxed resort feel with golf courses and promenade dining. The resort sits a short distance from the airport, which keeps transfer times manageable compared with more remote coastal villages. Prices can rise sharply in winter, so we advise booking early if you want a sea-view room. Gran Canaria holidays here suit couples and families who want a calm, well-serviced base.
• Playa Blanca: Playa Blanca in the south of Lanzarote is a quieter resort town with sandy beaches and a convenient ferry crossing to Fuerteventura departing from the northern coast. It is a good choice for travellers who want a peaceful beach stay with the option of a day trip to another island. The town is smaller than the big southern resorts, so the choice of restaurants is more limited in the evenings. Lanzarote holidays based here work well for a slower, more restful break.
• Playa de las Americas: Playa de las Americas on Tenerife is the island's most lively resort, with a dense concentration of bars, nightlife and late-opening restaurants along its seafront. It is a strong option for younger travellers and groups who want an energetic atmosphere close to the beach and shops, the same brief our Canary Islands Family Holidays deals are built around in reverse. The density also means noise can carry late into the night, so light sleepers should choose a hotel set back from the main strip. It offers good value for an active, sociable holiday.
• Corralejo: Corralejo, a fishing village at the north tip of Fuerteventura, sits beside the dunes of its natural park and is popular with water sports fans who come for windsurfing and kitesurfing. The village is compact and relaxed, with harbour restaurants and easy access to sandy beaches. Its distance from the south of the island means a longer transfer from the main airport, which we factor into every package, the same brief our Canary Islands holidays deals are built around. Fuerteventura holidays based here are among the most rewarding for active travellers in the archipelago.
