Last Minute Holidays to Canary Islands in February

Resort-led February breaks suit travellers who want reliable sun, easy beach access and a full range of hotels close to restaurants and shops.

• Playa de las Américas: Playa de las Américas is a lively resort on the south coast of Tenerife, known for its nightlife, restaurants and a bustling seafront promenade. It suits younger travellers and groups who want evenings out within walking distance of the hotel, and it is linked to Tenerife South airport by a short transfer. The energy comes at a cost, since the streets stay noisy late and quieter hotels are harder to find near the centre. For a lively February break with a strong social scene, it is hard to beat.

• Costa Adeje: Costa Adeje is a resort area in the south-west of Tenerife with a broad choice of family hotels, water parks and sheltered beaches close together. Its position on the south coast means it generally catches more sun than the north of the island in February, and the short run from Tenerife South airport keeps transfer times low. The trade-off is that the resort can feel busy during school holiday weeks, so booking a hotel with a quieter stretch of beach helps. For a practical, well-equipped February base, it remains one of the strongest choices we offer. Canary Islands holidays
• Maspalomas: Maspalomas sits in the south of Gran Canaria beside the protected dune system and a long stretch of golden sand, and it offers a relaxed resort feel with golf courses and a steady choice of hotels. The area enjoys the island's dependable winter sunshine, and Gran Canaria airport is a manageable drive away for most transfers. The main trade-off is that the resort is spread out, so you will rely on taxis or buses for trips into town. We recommend it for beach-focused travellers who want calm evenings. Gran Canaria holidays
• Playa Blanca: Playa Blanca is a resort town in the south of Lanzarote with sandy beaches, a relaxed promenade and easy access to the marina just along the coast. It is a quiet choice for beach holidays, and the ferry link to Fuerteventura from the northern port town makes a day trip or a two-island plan simple to arrange. The resort is smaller than the big Tenerife strips, so the restaurant choice is more limited after dark. We rate it highly for couples and anyone who wants a restful February stay. Lanzarote holidays
• Corralejo: Corralejo is a fishing village at the north tip of Fuerteventura, beside the Corralejo Dunes Natural Park and a string of long sandy beaches. The village is a popular base for water sports, and its wind-friendly coastline suits windsurfers and kitesurfers throughout the winter months. Because the wind can be strong on some days, the beaches are not always calm for swimming, which is worth knowing before you book. For active travellers who want dunes and open sea, Corralejo is a strong choice. Fuerteventura holidays
