Discover the best places in the Canary Islands and let yourself be seduced by this amazing archipelago, so full of details, options, and, above all, fun. Fuerteventura, Tenerife, Lanzarote, Gran Canaria, La Gomera, La Palma, and El Hierro are seven islands, but each with its own personality. The Canary Islands will be the best discovery you've ever made!

➢ Fuerteventura, with its white sands and constant sun, is also a Biosphere Reserve and will leave you speechless: sprawling dunes, plains, volcanoes, and lava fields…If you’re looking to just relax, there’s nothing better than Fuerteventura’s beaches and crystal-clear waters. It’s a traveller’s dream.

➢ Tenerife is the archipelago’s biggest island. Crowned by the Teide, Spain’s highest point, Tenerife has everything one needs to make everyday unforgettable: culture, cities, shows, beaches, theme parks, and, of course, a rich landscape of forests, volcanoes, tropical plantations, and hidden coves.

➢ El Hierro, has always been off the mainstream tourist map and is a delight for nature-lovers; the island is one of the Biosphere Reserves in Europe and has world-class marine life. It’s a special destination for scuba divers and its focus on completely renewable energies assures that it will be around to enjoy in the future. El Hierro is truly a privileged destination which just waits to be discovered.

➢ La Palma is called ‘the pretty island’ for a reason. Also declared a Biosphere Reserve, La Palma is covered in thick vegetation and forests ideal for hikers. Its rural atmosphere invites travellers to not only enjoy its flora, fauna, and spectacular landscapes, but also sample a slower pace of life. Another highlight is the sky. Due to its clean air and geographic location, La Palma is one of the world’s best places for star-gazing. It’s a must!

➢ The great treasure of La Gomera is Garajonay National Park, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It’s a millennial forest filled with trails and a world-wide example for the successful conservation of sub-tropical forests. The landscape, rocky ridges, black sand coves and stunning cliffs, is practically untouched. It’s impossible not to enjoy this little natural wonder.

➢ Gran Canaria is the Canary Islands second largest and most populated island. Its western half is a Biosphere Reserve with activities for those who prefer a relaxing trip in a pristine natural environment: beaches, coves, a rural atmosphere, and plenty of hiking. If you’re looking for the something more exciting, the rest of the island is oozing with life: museums, theatre, nightlife, concerts. No wonder they call it the “little bit continent.”
