Mild temperatures hold through the year, with winter coastal days usually around 18 to 21 °C. That makes the islands a dependable choice whenever you need a break from grey skies back home. Spring and autumn offer particularly comfortable conditions for walking and exploring.
Each island has its own scenery, from the volcanic plains of Lanzarote to the laurel forests of La Gomera. Teide National Park on Tenerife is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and Spain's highest peak sits within it. You can swap a beach day for a mountain walk without leaving the island.
Direct flights to Tenerife and Gran Canaria take around 4 hours 30 minutes from London. That makes the islands one of the quicker warm-weather options for a short break. Journey times are simple enough for a long weekend as well as a full week.
Inter-island ferries link several of the islands, so you can combine two bases in one trip. Schedules vary, so check timetables before you plan. Buses also connect towns on each island, which keeps getting around straightforward. Allowing a spare half day for travel will help your plans run smoothly and without rushing.
You can stay in large beach resorts, small historic towns or quiet villages depending on your preference. The range of accommodation covers families, couples and solo travellers. Many visitors find that a mix of resort and village stays gives the best balance of activity and rest. Each island offers something different for each type of traveller.
Sheltered beaches, calm water and marinas are spread across the islands. Playa de Las Canteras in Las Palmas is protected by a natural reef. The sea is inviting even outside peak summer, making swimming a realistic daily activity for most visitors.


Our departure options from Glasgow are arranged around the routes and airports available on your chosen dates, so the details below describe the approach rather than a fixed schedule.
Beach resorts are the most requested style of Canary Islands package, and each coast offers a different balance of sand, water and atmosphere.
The best island depends on what you want from your trip, as each has a distinct character. Tenerife offers the widest range of resorts, a famous national park and both busy and quiet coasts. Gran Canaria combines urban beaches with sand dunes, while Lanzarote suits travellers who enjoy volcanic scenery and calmer resorts.
