Sunshine almost guaranteed, beaches that stretch on for miles, and just a four-hour hop from the UK—no wonder the Canary Islands are a go-to getaway. Families can settle into resorts with kids’ clubs, playgrounds, and splash pools, while couples or solo travellers might prefer sleek hotels tucked away by quiet coves. Adventurous types can surf, windsurf, or snorkel their way through the turquoise waters, and anyone craving peace, can lounge on hidden beaches far away from the crowds. Whatever your vibe, the islands promise sun, sea, and stays that leave you smiling from start to finish.
