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 direct-route options focus on the main Canary airports and the time you will spend getting from arrival to your hotel.
Our beach resort picks lead with the sand and water each area offers, rather than the nightlife that dominates other comparison guides.
Tenerife and Gran Canaria both suit families well, with sheltered beaches, large hotels and attractions such as Loro Parque on Tenerife. Costa Adeje offers water parks and a wide choice of family accommodation, while Las Canteras in Las Palmas is calm and easy to reach. Lanzarote and Fuerteventura also work for families who prefer quieter beaches and wide sand. The best choice depends on whether you want attractions or a gentler pace.
