THE LAND OF A THOUSAND EXPERIENCES
Forget the Tenerife you thought you knew. This shape-shifting island, the largest of the Canary Islands, has swapped its former image for a more wild and natural side. As a result, it’s now revelling in its new status as the place that’s got it all. Carnival celebrations, unique history and natural wonders are just some of the treasures in store. The sun, sand and sangria remain but visitors have discovered its alternative attractions, from whale watching in the Atlantic to climbing Mount Teide and kayaking off footprint-free volcanic coves. The land of a thousand experiences indeed. Soak up every magical moment from the comfort of your luxurious home-from-home, where delicious cuisine and fun-filled facilities await.
FOOD & DRINK IN TENERIFE
Come hungry, come thirsty: Tenerife has plenty of culinary treats in store. Discover a diverse cuisine that reflects the island’s cultural melting pot, which blends African, Latin, and Spanish influences – to delicious effect. We don’t have enough space to tell you all our local favourites, but highlights include papas arrugadas (wrinkled potatoes), cooked in salt water and best eaten smothered in various mojos (sauces), and its cheeses. Naturally, the island doesn’t stint on oceanic delights: expect to eat lots of garlic-flecked fresh fish, grilled with local herbs, and seafood, served raw or cooked to perfection. Crack open a Canarian wine and tuck in. Getting your five-a-day is a pleasure, thanks to the abundance of tropical fruit that grows here (papaya, mangoes, bananas) and many mealtimes end on a high with a shot of Ron Miel, the local honey rum. You are on holiday after all…

RESORTS TO VISIT IN TENERIFE
The island is unique, and this really shines through in the different Tenerife resorts that it boasts. Here is a flavour of some that you should make the effort to visit.
• Costa Adeje: People have been flocking to the sunny resort of Costa Adeje for as long as Tenerife has been a holiday destination. Some of the best holiday resorts in Tenerife are located here, and with the island’s best waterparks (Siam Park and Aqualand) and its golden sandy beaches, it’s easy to see why.
• Playa de las Américas: The largest of all the holiday resorts in Tenerife, Playa de las Américas might be known as the party capital of the island, but there is much more to it than that. There are five stunning beaches which you can lounge on, and an enviable restaurant scene.
• Puerto de la Cruz: Despite becoming a hugely popular holiday destination and the main resort on the rugged north side of the island, Puerto de la Cruz still retains plenty of local character which dates back to the 60s when it was just a fishing village. With a picturesque old town, black-sand beaches, and attractions like the family-friendly leisure park of Lago Martiánez, there is plenty to do here.
• Los Gigantes: One of the most laid-back Tenerife resorts, Los Gigantes gets its name from the huge cliffs that sit just to the north of the town. These impossibly steep formations rise to a giddy height, dwarfing the black volcanic sand beach and collection of secluded rocky coves beneath. The town’s harbour provides boating, scuba diving and water sports opportunities.
