Weather in Canary Islands in October

The south coasts of the islands generally hold the most consistent warmth through October.

• Playa de las Américas: Set on the south-west coast of the Canary Islands, this resort is typically one of the warmest and most sheltered spots in October, with sunny afternoons and sea temperatures that stay comfortable for swimming. The resort sits in the rain shadow of the island's mountains, which keeps skies bright for much of the month. The trade-off is a lively nightlife scene that can feel busy in the evenings. For reliable sun and an easy beach day, this is an excellent choice. It is exactly the brief our holidays deals across the Canaries are built around.

• Puerto Calero: Set on the south-east coast of the Canary Islands, this marina enjoys warm, dry conditions through October and offers easy access to boat excursions along the coast. Its location beside the neighbouring resort makes it a good base if you want sunshine with a quieter feel than the larger resorts. Restaurants by the harbour stay pleasant into the evening. The main limitation is that the area is smaller, so you will rely on short trips for wider shopping and sightseeing. It is exactly the brief our island holiday deals are built around.

• Corralejo: At the north tip of the island, Corralejo is usually warm and bright in October, with steady breezes that suit beach life without making the air feel too heavy. The village sits beside the Corralejo Dunes Natural Park, so you can combine sun with walks on the sand. Wind is more noticeable here than on the sheltered south coast, which some visitors enjoy. It is a strong choice for travellers who want warmth with a little movement in the air. It is exactly the brief our island holiday deals are built around.

• Maspalomas Dunes: On the southern tip of the island, the dunes and their surrounding beaches enjoy strong sunshine and mild temperatures well into October. The area is sheltered from the cooler northern winds, so late-afternoon walks remain comfortable. Expect a relaxed resort atmosphere with golf courses and beach bars along the promenade. The open dune landscape offers less shade than the town streets, so plan for hats and water. It is exactly the brief our island holiday deals are built around.

Evenings tend to be quieter than in busier resort areas, which many couples prefer. It is exactly the brief our Canary Islands Beach Holidays deals are built around.
