Hotels in Tenerife, Spain

Tenerife, the largest Canary Island off Africa's northwest coast, boasts a spring-like climate year-round with average highs around 77°F (25°C), making it perfect for hiking Teide National Park and Spain's highest peak, Mount Teide, in winter, or lounging on Playa de las Américas' black-sand beaches in summer. The island splits into two distinct vibes: the lively south with water sports like whale-watching in the Atlantic Ocean, and the lush north with ancient laurel forests in Anaga Rural Park for rainy-day adventures. For history, head to La Laguna, a UNESCO World Heritage site with 16th-century colonial architecture, or catch live salsa music at Santa Cruz's March carnival.
