While there are many places in Europe where people can get away on holiday, few places have the flexibility that Tenerife does. With a climate that is warm all year round, any holiday maker craving sun can find it on this island any month of the year.
There are many wonderful things you can do in Tenerife besides sit in a sun lounger as well, further cementing its appeal among its legions of repeat visitors.
However, it helps to know where you are going if you have decided to hire your own vehicle. By making use of online resources such as Tenerife Maps – Web Tenerife, you can be aware of where you’ll need to go when traveling from one attraction to the next.
Now that we gotten that tip out of the way, let’s run down some of the best things you can do on holiday in Tenerife.
1) Relax at the beach
There are scores of beautiful beaches that can be found on Tenerife, with each of them appealing to a different sort of visitor. Those looking for an active social scene will love what they find at Playa De Las Americas, as there are plenty of beach clubs here for those looking to mix and mingle in the sun with a drink in hand.
Those seeking quiet will find it at La Tejita, while those looking for beauty will be shocked that Playa de las Teresitas isn’t as crowded as its competitors elsewhere on the island.
2) Stand on the summit of El Teide
Despite being located hundreds of kilometers from the Spanish mainland, it is here on Tenerife where the highest point in Spain can be found. Years ago, reaching the summit of El Teide was a multi-day venture that required an overnight stay in a hiker’s cabin (this can still be done nowadays if you’re into that).
However, the construction of a cable car means that you can ascend all but 163 of its 3,718 metres without having to break so much as a drop of sweat. A short but challenging path will take you the rest of the way to a summit where amazing panoramic views of the island and Atlantic Ocean can be enjoyed.
If you develop any symptoms of altitude sickness (headache, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, etc) at any point in your visit to El Teide, return to a lower altitude as soon as possible.
3) Cool off at Siam Water Park
If you are traveling with your family to Tenerife, consider spending a day at Siam Water Park. As its name suggests, this park’s attractions are based around certain cultural and natural qualities that Thailand possesses. The fact that it was opened by Maha Chakri Sirindhorn (a princess in the Thai Royal Family) lends credence to its authenticity.
With plenty of rides that appealing to kids and daredevils alike, the world’s longest lazy river and restaurants that serve Thai food, Siam Water Park is a fun spot for those looking to get away from the beach for a day.
4) Party … all night long
Is nightlife is an important factor when it comes to picking your holiday destinations? If so, then coming to Tenerife will prove to be a wise decision. During peak months, many clubs in Playa de las Americas stay open 24 hours per day, making it easy for those looking to party hard to not have to deal with the buzzkill that is closing time.
Whether you are looking for dance clubs that play all the latest electronic music hits, or bars that consistently host great live bands, Tenerife is certain to have a venue that you and your friends will just love.
