North & South DUO, Tenerife Long Stay

Upon arrival at the Tenerife Airport, you will meet your driver for your transfer to your hotel located on the North Coast of the island, where you’ll spend 7 nights.

Tenerife’s North Coast feels like a completely different island compared to the sunbaked south—lush, dramatic and much more tied to local Canarian life. If you’re exploring it, here’s how to get a rich, well-rounded experience.

Start with Puerto de la Cruz, the cultural heart of the north. It’s lively but not overbuilt, with black-sand beaches like Playa Jardín and the famous Lago Martiánez, designed by César Manrique. It’s a great base for walking, eating and soaking in the atmosphere.

Head inland just a bit and you’ll hit La Orotava, one of the most beautiful historic towns in the Canary Islands. Experience cobbled streets, wooden balconies and spots like Casa de los Balcones. It’s quieter than the coast and gives you a real sense of history.

Nature is a big draw here. The Anaga Rural Park in the northeast is a must—misty forests, sharp ridges and hiking trails that feel almost prehistoric. If you’re up for a short adventure, drive to Taganana for wild coastal views and fresh seafood.

For a more rugged seaside vibe, check out Garachico. It was rebuilt after a volcanic eruption and now features natural lava pools like El Caletón—great for a swim when the sea is calm.

If you like wine or food, the north is also Tenerife’s agricultural hub. The valley around La Orotava produces excellent local wines—look for small bodegas rather than big commercial tours.

A few practical notes:
The North Coast is greener because it gets more clouds, so expect more changeable weather than in the south. That said, the scenery is richer for it. Renting a car helps a lot, since the best spots are spread out and often tucked into hillsides.

Today you will meet your driver for your transfer to your hotel located on the South Coast of the Island, where you’ll spend 14 nights.

A holiday in the south of Tenerife is very different from a typical Mediterranean beach trip—it’s warmer year-round, more volcanic in landscape and built heavily around relaxed resort living.

The overall vibe feels warm and relaxed. You wake up to sunshine almost every day, stroll to breakfast in shorts, and the biggest decision is pool or beach.

Days tend to blur together in a pleasant way:

• Late breakfasts, lots of lounging
• Easy walks along seafront promenades
• Swimming, sunbathing and maybe a cocktail by mid-afternoon
• No pressure to rush anywhere

It’s very much a “do nothing well” kind of destination.

After breakfast, take a private transfer to Tenerife airport for your return flight home.
