Many brits look for sunshine, when they are thinking about planning a holiday, and Tenerife is always a popular choice. Whilst the weather is a huge attraction and gives appeal to families, Tenerife holidays offer beautiful and varied landscapes, family-friendly attractions and a range of accommodations that can suit all budgets.
Here are some reasons why Tenerife is one of Europe’s best destinations for families.
Fun activities for all ages
Tenerife is packed with a wide range of activities for the whole family to enjoy together, so you can pick out ones that the whole family will appreciate.
The island is home to some of Europe’s best waterparks like Siam Park, so chances are you’ll find yourself spending at least one day splashing and sliding away in the sunshine. Sticking to the watery theme, why not book a once-in-a-lifetime submarine safari? The whole family will be captivated by the sea life swimming all around.
Calmer days can be mixed with energetic days. One way to slow down and burn off some energy is by visiting The Pyramids of Güímar Ethnographic Park, where all ages can enjoy seeing the impressive structures.
Beaches and natural landscapes suited to families
Beautiful beaches are almost a given in Tenerife. Soft, golden sand beaches have calm waters which are ideal for days of relaxation and letting the little ones enjoy themselves. Las Teresitas is ideal for younger swimmers due to the sheltered landscape. Playa Fãnabé should also be considered, as this has lifeguard supervision.
For families who want to be a bit more active, head to Playa del Puertito to explore hidden caves, black sand and stunning coastal scenery.
Nature & educational adventures
Teide, the UNESCO World Heritage Site is home to the third-tallest volcano in the world, making it a landscape worth discovering.
For families who enjoy being active and exploring nature, there are many hiking trails that can be taken around the park, allowing families to chance to view the volcano from all angles.
Conservation and wildlife at Loro Parque
If your family is a fan of animals, visiting Loro Parque is one to be added to your itinerary, to explore the different species that call the zoo their home. Rare species such as the Lear’s Macaw are fascinating, and cement the park’s role as a global leader in parrot conservation.
There are also plenty of dining options available, as well as areas fit for a picnic. So you can snack by the sea lions or dine with the dolphins.
