Advantages and features of a beach holiday in Tenerife
Tenerife is famous to everyone for its black sands. They have a volcanic origin. You can admire this unusual landscape on the north and south coasts of the island. You should keep in mind that the sea is not permanently calm – you can observe high waves and strong water currents. For this reason, several “wild beaches” are located in the north of Tenerife. However, Playa de la Arena is perfect for quiet walks. Remarkably, its volcanic sand, due to its structure, has a beneficial effect on the musculoskeletal system and relaxes large muscle groups during the walk.
The southern part of Tenerife Island is rich in artificial beaches, created especially for tourist purposes. Here, sand is brought from the Sahara Desert. However, a few coastal areas of this kind can also be found in the north of the island. For example, Las Teresitas beach, located near Santa Cruz, is optimal for calm recreation alongside loved ones. But, due to climatic features, sometimes a strong wind blows here and the weather is cloudy.
Fans of extreme sports can book a tour to Tenerife. For surfing, the persistent waves and long shores of El Medano are optimal.
On the island, activities are developed for those who like to sunbathe nude. For example, the wild beach Playa Blanca, Playa de las Gaviotas, and the windy beach Playa de la Tejita.
It is necessary to watch your step in coastal areas, because the relief is quite diverse. For example, the El Bollullo corner is difficult to access. You can get here from the village of Rincon via a steep descent, and the road itself is narrow and unsafe. A danger can be created by ocean currents in the locations of El Bollullo and Socorro.

Tenerife guide
Tenerife is one of the most beneficial balneotherapy resorts. Gentle sunshine, a relatively calm climate, warm volcanic sand, and various thermal springs have a positive effect on joints and recovery after fractures. As for medical services, dentistry, cosmetic dermatology, and various gynecological programs are well developed here.
For diving enthusiasts, the most optimal place is Los Chuchos — with a shallow depth (up to 20 meters). Here you can admire the extraordinary diversity of flora and fauna, which you can feed from the palm of your hand. For lovers of underwater landscapes with caves and sunken ships, visiting places such as Cueva de los Cerebros, El Condesito is recommended.
One of the main tourist attractions is Mount Teide, located within the national park of the same name. The mountain’s height is over 3700 meters, which turns a walk into a true ascent. The paths are safe. You can also reach the top by cable car.
The entire island of Tenerife is an endless attraction. The landscapes of this location attract not only visitors, but also professionals from the film industry for various shoots.
History lovers are offered the unique opportunity to visit the Guimar Pyramids Park. The story behind these ancient constructions is a centuries-old mystery. Scientists assume they served as cult objects and for calculating astronomical dates.
For a cultural holiday, a visit is recommended to the modern concert hall in an avant-garde style — Auditorio de Tenerife, located in Santa Cruz. Here you can lose yourself in the resonant sounds of the famous organ, one of the most renowned in the world of classical music.
You can discover old Canarian architecture by visiting the town of Orotava. Every summer, Carpet Day takes place here, during which the streets are decorated with bright fabrics, sand, and gravel.
Also worth mentioning is the vibrant carnival in the town of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, held in February — March. The scale of this event is surpassed only by the similar one in Brazil.

Frequently asked questions about Tenerife holidays
What is the best time of year to visit Tenerife?
Tenerife is known as the island of eternal spring and is suitable all year round. Even in winter temperatures are usually around 20–24 °C, while in summer it rarely feels too hot thanks to the ocean breeze. Peak seasons are Christmas and New Year, Easter and July–August, when we recommend booking early.
Do I need a visa to travel to Tenerife?
Tenerife is part of Spain and the Schengen area. EU citizens can travel with a valid passport or ID card without a visa for short tourist stays of up to 90 days. Travellers from non-EU countries must follow Schengen rules, so it is important to check the current visa requirements at the relevant consulate before your trip.
What currency is used and how is it best to pay?
The official currency is the euro (EUR). We recommend a mix of cash for small expenses and bank cards for hotels, restaurants and shops. ATMs are widely available in towns and resorts, and card payments are commonly accepted.
What type of plugs and voltage are used in Tenerife?
Tenerife uses standard European sockets with two round pins (type C/F) and 220–230 V voltage. If your devices are from outside Europe, check compatibility in advance and bring a universal travel adaptor if needed.
How can I stay connected — calls and mobile internet?
If you have a SIM from an EU country, you can usually use roaming like at home (always check your operator’s fair-use limits and prices). Another option is to buy a local SIM or an international eSIM, which can be cost-effective for longer stays or heavy data use.
What are the local transport options on the island?
Regular buses connect the airport with the main resorts and there are routes between towns as well. For maximum flexibility many travellers rent a car, which is ideal for reaching viewpoints, mountain areas and more secluded beaches. Taxis are easy to find in tourist areas.
Is Tenerife suitable for families with children?
Yes, Tenerife is very family-friendly. Many hotels offer family rooms, kids’ pools, mini-clubs and animation. Gentle-slope beaches, zoos and water parks make the island attractive for children of all ages and for multi-generational trips.
What board basis do you recommend for a Tenerife stay?
A practical choice is bed & breakfast or half board (breakfast + dinner). This way you can try local restaurants at lunchtime and still have a relaxed dinner at the hotel. For families with children, all inclusive can be a convenient option to keep food and drink costs under control.
What can I do if the weather is cloudy or rainy?
Cloudy days are perfect for exploring: traditional villages, museums, wine tastings, shopping or visits to cities such as Santa Cruz. You can also make the most of hotel facilities like spa, indoor pool or gym, or simply enjoy a long lunch and a cosy dinner in a local restaurant.
Is there good snorkeling and scuba diving in Tenerife?
Yes. Tenerife is an excellent destination for both snorkeling and scuba diving. You will find certified dive centres offering equipment rental, introductory dives with an instructor and boat trips to clear-water spots with varied marine life and volcanic rock formations under the surface.
Which excursions are most popular in Tenerife?
Highlights include trips to Teide National Park and the volcano area, boat tours to see dolphins and whales, island sightseeing tours, theme parks and water parks. When booking your package, you can discuss available excursions with your Admiral.Travel consultant for the dates you plan to travel.
What should I know about the flight ticket, baggage and check-in?
Depending on the airline and package type, your ticket may include cabin baggage only or checked baggage as well. Exact conditions are specified at the time of booking. We recommend online check-in as soon as it opens (usually 24–48 hours before departure) and arriving at the airport at least 2–3 hours before the flight.
Are there any local taxes to pay at the hotel in Tenerife?
Some properties may charge local or eco-taxes, payable directly at the hotel reception. The amounts are usually modest and, when applicable, are mentioned in the offer details or highlighted by your Admiral.Travel consultant before you confirm your booking.
