Last Minute Holidays to Canary Islands in May

Resort stays are the most popular way to spend a May holiday, and these are the areas we most often find in late availability.

• Costa Adeje: Looking for last minute resorts in May? Corfu is one of the Ionian islands' most rewarding choices, with the old town of Corfu, its Venetian and Venetian-influenced streets, and sheltered coves all within easy reach. May brings warm sunshine, quieter beaches and reliable late-spring temperatures, making it an ideal time to book a Travelodeal package with flights and accommodation protected by ATOL and ABTA. It is exactly the brief our Tenerife holidays deals are built around.
• Maspalomas: Maspalomas, on the southern coast of Gran Canaria, combines long sandy beaches with a resort feel that suits couples and relaxed beach holidays. Its location close to the dunes makes it a natural base for walks and sunset views, and the promenade has plenty of places to eat and drink. Because it is one of the larger resort areas on the island, it can feel busy in the evenings, so choosing a quieter hotel makes a real difference. Explore our Gran Canaria holidays for more choice. We think it offers excellent value for a warm, straightforward beach break.
• Playa Blanca: Playa Blanca sits on the southern coast of the island and is among the quieter beach resorts here, with sandy coves and a more low-key pace than the busier towns. It has regular ferry links to the neighbouring island from the northern port on the same island, which makes it an attractive base for travellers who want to combine two islands. The resort is compact, so most of what you need is within a short walk. It is a sensible choice for a calm May break with easy access to the sea, the same kind of relaxed brief our Canary Islands Family Holidays deals are built around.
• Puerto del Carmen: Puerto del Carmen is a long-established resort with a lively seafront, a wide range of hotels and a good selection of restaurants and shops. The coastline here suits both swimmers and walkers, and the island's volcanic landscapes are within a short drive for excursions. Because it is well served by hotels at many price points, late availability tends to be strong here in May, which makes it a practical choice for the same kind of relaxed, grown-up break our Canary Islands Adults Only Holidays deals are built around. We recommend it to travellers who want variety and a resort that feels busy without being overwhelming.
• Corralejo: Corralejo, at the northern tip of the island, is a fishing village beside the Corralejo Dunes Natural Park, and it is known for sandy beaches and water sports. Its relaxed village atmosphere sets it apart from the larger resorts, and the dunes are close enough to explore on foot. The village is smaller, so accommodation choice is more limited than in the big resorts, and booking early in late availability matters. For a sandy, outdoors-focused May holiday built around the same brief our Canary Islands Luxury Holidays deals are designed for, we think it is hard to beat.
