The diverse landscapes of the island are a sight to behold. Long sandy beaches span the coastal resorts, followed by rising mountains covered in pine forests which give way to the spectacular lunar landscapes of Las Cañadas and imposing peak of Mount Teide.

Aside from its natural beauty, Tenerife is a cosmopolitan island with a large number of visitors from throughout Europe, making it very accessible to the British traveler or migrant. Below we provide a brief synopsis of some of the more popular destinations.

Los Cristianos
Originally, Los Cristianos was a small fishing village and much of the old town still retains a Canarian feel. Its crescent shaped bay has a beach over 400 metres long with a wide variety of water sports on offer. The town has now developed into a modern, thriving resort, with plentiful shops, cafes and restaurants and there is a regular market every Sunday but it still retains it fishing village origins.

Playa de las Americas
Playa de las Americas is a cosmopolitan and modern resort, with beautiful beaches and international shops and stores. It is the main tourist resort in Tenerife, attracting over 1.25 million visitors every year, mainly the young, attracted by the numerous bars and clubs that go on until the early hours of the morning.

Fañabe
Fañabe is a quiet resort with a long white sandy beach. Considered by many to be one of the top up and coming areas on the island, Fañabe is gaining a reputation as the St John's Wood of Tenerife. It’s a wonderful place to spend quality time together and with friends, or just relaxing in the sun and soaking up the atmosphere.

Los Gigantes
Los Gigantes is one of the most picturesque resorts on the island and is so popular that people return time after time. It is situated on the west coast of the islands and takes its name from the sheer cliffs called the ‘Acantillado de Los Gigantes’, which rear up to a height of about 1650 feet, then fall steeply down into the sea just to the north of the resort.

Golf del Sur
Situated to the East of the southern tip of Tenerife, and set around a championship level 27 hole golf course. Golf del Sur is a popular venue for the golf enthusiast and for those who just want a quiet break away from it all. The coastline provides a nice setting for an evening walk, with purpose built promenades, but the majority of the coastline is rocky with no real sandy beaches.
