Full Board Holidays to Canary Islands

These resort areas offer the most reliable full board dining, with large buffets, evening entertainment and plenty of hotel choice.

• Costa Adeje: Costa Adeje in the south-west of the island has a wide spread of full board hotels, from large family properties with several restaurants to smaller adults-focused buildings near the beach. Because the resort is compact and well served by taxis and buses from the south airport, you can easily walk to nearby supermarkets and cafes between meals. The trade-off is that the busiest hotels can fill their dining rooms at peak times, so booking an earlier dinner slot helps. We rate it highly for full board because the choice of dining styles is so broad. It is exactly the brief our island holiday deals are built around.

• Maspalomas: Maspalomas, on the southern coast of the Canary Islands, pairs full board hotels with a relaxed resort feel and easy access to the sandy shoreline. Many hotels here serve generous breakfast and dinner buffets, and the surrounding area has supermarkets for drinks and snacks when you want to eat lighter. Hotel stock is strong but more spread out than in some resorts, so you may rely on a short taxi or bus ride for evenings out. For guests who value a calm dining routine, it remains one of our most dependable full board choices. It is exactly the brief our island holidays deals are built around.

• Playa Blanca: Playa Blanca in the far south of the island is a quieter resort where full board hotels tend to be lower rise and more intimate, with fewer large buffet halls than the busiest southern resorts. The town has a good selection of shops and restaurants for days when you prefer to eat out, and ferry links to the neighbouring island from nearby ports add variety for longer stays. The limitation is a smaller pool of hotels to choose from, so early booking is wise. It is a sensible full board base for guests who want a restful pace.

• Corralejo: Corralejo, at the northern tip of the island, offers full board hotels close to long sandy beaches and the nearby dunes, with a relaxed village atmosphere just beyond the hotel grounds. Dining options in the village are varied, and self-catering shops are easy to reach for guests who want to supplement hotel meals. Hotel stock is smaller than the big southern resorts, so the dining experience is often more personal but less varied in scale. Corralejo suits full board guests who enjoy active days and a simple, unhurried evening routine. It is exactly the brief our holidays deals on this Canary island are built around.

• Puerto de la Cruz: Puerto de la Cruz sits on the north coast of the island, a traditional resort where full board hotels sit alongside historic streets and cafes, giving guests a calmer alternative to the south. Hotels here typically serve breakfast and dinner with a more local feel, and the old town offers plenty of places to eat out or buy fresh produce. The north coast is cooler and cloudier than the south, which some guests find refreshing and others find less ideal for sunbathing. We recommend it for full board travellers who want culture and a gentler pace.
