Luxury Beach Holidays to Canary Islands

Blue Flag beaches meet strict standards for water quality, safety and cleanliness, and several of the islands' most visited sands hold the award.

• Playa de las Teresitas: Playa de las Teresitas sits on the east coast of Tenerife, a short drive from Santa Cruz, and its golden sand was imported to create one of the island's most sheltered beaches. The water stays calm behind a natural breakwater, which makes it a dependable choice for swimming and paddling. We pair this beach with luxury hotels in the capital so you can spend the day on the sand and return to a comfortable base each evening. It is exactly the brief our Tenerife holidays deals are built around.
• Playa de Las Canteras: Playa de Las Canteras runs for roughly three kilometres along the city front of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, and a natural reef shelters its shallow water from the Atlantic swell. The promenade has cafés, restaurants and beach bars within easy walking distance. For guests who want an urban beach with a true resort feel, this is the Blue Flag stretch we recommend most often. It is exactly the brief our Gran Canaria holidays deals are built around.
• Playa Blanca: Playa Blanca in the south of Lanzarote offers sandy beaches and calm water in a resort town that is quieter than the larger centres on the island. From here you can reach the ferry link to Fuerteventura when you want to see another island during your stay. We place our most refined Lanzarote hotels close to the seafront so you can walk to the sand without needing a taxi. It is exactly the brief our Lanzarote holidays deals are built around.
• Corralejo beaches: The beaches around Corralejo on the north tip of Fuerteventura stretch for long distances, with fine sand running towards the dunes of the Corralejo Dunes Natural Park. The shallow water at several beaches suits families and those who prefer gentle swimming. We recommend this area for luxury guests who want space, wind for water sports and a village atmosphere after dinner. It is exactly the brief our Fuerteventura holidays deals are built around.
• Puerto Calero: Puerto Calero is a marina on the south-east coast of Lanzarote, and its sheltered waters give access to calm bays and boat excursions along the coast. The marina has restaurants and a relaxed waterfront that feels more polished than a typical beach resort. Guests who value sailing trips and a refined setting by the sea will find this the most distinctive base on the island.
