Weather in Canary Islands in May

The warmest conditions in May tend to be found on the sheltered southern coasts, where the trade winds have less influence.

• Playa de las Américas: Agios Gordios is one of the most reliable spots on Corfu for warm weather in May, when average daytime temperatures typically climb into the low twenties Celsius. Its long, sheltered sandy bay faces the west coast, so the sea stays calm and inviting, while the surrounding tavernas and shaded tamarisk trees make it easy to enjoy the sunshine without overheating. It is exactly the brief our Tenerife holidays deals are built around.
• Maspalomas: Maspalomas on the south of the island sits beside protected dunes and a long stretch of sand, with warm, dry conditions typical of the southern coast in May. The resort has a relaxed feel and plenty of golf and beach facilities. Its sunshine is generally more consistent than on the north of the island, though evenings can be a little breezy near the dunes. It is a dependable pick for those who want predictable warmth.

• Playa Blanca: Playa Blanca in the south of Lanzarote benefits from the island's dry, sunny southern climate, making it a good May option for beach lovers. The resort has sandy beaches and is a practical base for taking ferries across to the neighbouring island from the northern port town on the coast of the next island over. Expect warm daytime air and a quieter pace than the larger resorts. The south of Lanzarote is one of the most consistently sunny parts of the archipelago.

• Costa Adeje: Costa Adeje in the south-west of Tenerife offers warm, sheltered beaches and a wide range of hotels, with family attractions and water parks close by. The south-west coast generally enjoys the warmest and driest May conditions on the island. Visitors should expect busier beaches and more hotel traffic than in smaller villages. It suits those who want warm weather with plenty of organised activities. It is exactly the brief our Canary Islands Family Holidays deals are built around.
• Corralejo: Corralejo, at the northern tip of the island, combines warm air with strong breezes, which make it a favourite for windsurfing and kitesurfing in May. The village sits next to the Corralejo Dunes Natural Park, so the setting feels open and sunny rather than sheltered. Temperatures are pleasant rather than hot, and the wind can be brisk on exposed beaches. It is a good fit for active travellers who welcome a lively breeze.
