Volcanic Peaks & Golden Sands

Overview

This Tenerife vacation package combines two very different sides of Tenerife into one trip—dramatic volcanic landscapes in the north and sunny beach resorts in the south.

Northern Tenerife — Volcanic Peaks North
Northern Tenerife offers a greener, more authentic side of the island, shaped by volcanic landscapes, cloud forests and historic towns. Visitors can explore the dramatic terrain of Teide National Park, home to Spain’s highest peak, while enjoying panoramic mountain roads, lava formations and traditional Canarian villages. The north is known for its botanical gardens, rugged coastline, local wine culture and charming destinations such as Puerto de la Cruz. It’s ideal for travellers seeking nature, hiking, photography and cultural discovery.

Southern Tenerife — Golden Sands South
Southern Tenerife is the island’s sun-soaked resort region, famous for golden beaches, luxury hotels, lively promenades and year-round warm weather. Popular coastal destinations like Costa Adeje and Playa de las Américas offer beach clubs, water sports, shopping, nightlife and oceanfront relaxation. The south is also a gateway for whale-watching excursions, catamaran cruises and family attractions, making it perfect for travellers looking for comfort, entertainment and seaside leisure.

Tenerife, South Coast

Today, you will meet your driver for your transfer to your hotel located on the South Coast of the island, where you’ll spend 7 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 rooted in relaxed resort living.


The overall vibe feels warm and carefree. You’ll wake up to sunshine, stroll to breakfast in shorts, and the biggest decision of the day is whether to spend it by the pool or beach.
