Advantages and features of a beach holiday in Tenerife
Tenerife is world famous for its black sands. This is due to the volcanic origin of the area. This unusual landscape can be enjoyed on the northern and southern coasts of the island. It should be taken into account that the sea nature here is not always calm - there are high waves and strong undercurrents. For this reason, there are many "wild beaches" in the north of Tenerife. However, Playa de la Arena, on the contrary, is ideal for relaxing walks. It is noteworthy that its volcanic sand, due to its structure, has a positive effect on the musculoskeletal system and helps to relax large muscle groups during walking.
The southern part of Tenerife is rich in artificial beaches, which are created specifically for tourist purposes. Sand is brought here from the Sahara Desert. However, several such coastal zones can be found in the north of the island territory. For example, Las Teresitas beach, located near Santa Cruz, is optimal for a relaxing holiday in the company of family and friends. But due to climatic features, it is sometimes quite windy here, and even cloudy.
You can book a tour in Tenerife for lovers of extreme sports. The stretched coastlines and rough waves at El Médano are ideal for surfing.
On the island, recreation is very developed among lovers of a homogeneous tan without clothes. For example, this is the peaceful wild beach of Playa Blanca, the warm Playa de las Gaviotas, and the windy Playa de la Tejita.
It is necessary to carefully monitor the steps towards certain coastal zones, because their relief is quite diverse. For example, this is a remote corner of El Boyuyo. You can get here from the village of Rincon along a very steep descent, and the road itself is narrow and unsafe. But strong ocean currents should be feared in the area of El Bollullo and Socorro.

One of the main attractions of Tenerife is the Teide volcano, which is located on the territory of the national park of the same name. The height of the mountain is more than 3700 meters, which makes the journey to its top a full-fledged ascent. The roads on the side of the mountain are safe. Also, a funicular can deliver tourists to the highest point.
The whole island of Tenerife is one endless attraction. The unimaginable beauty of the area attracts not only guests, but also film industry workers to shoot various films.
History buffs have a unique opportunity to visit the Guimar Pyramids Park. The history of the creation of these majestic ancient structures goes back centuries and is shrouded in mystery.

You can get acquainted with the ancient Canarian architecture by visiting the city of Orotava. Every summer, Carpet Day is held here, during which the streets are decorated with canvases of bright colors, sand and stones.

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.
