What to pack for a holiday in Tenerife

We visited Tenerife in November, and the temperature rarely dropped below 25ºc in the day and 17ºc at night. It’s a great place to catch some year-round sun, but you might need to pack for cooler weather too...

The best beaches in Tenerife

Most of the beaches in Tenerife are black sand due to the volcanic rocks. But there are plenty of golden sand beaches to be found as well. These were our favourite beaches in Tenerife.

The best things to do in Tenerife

We spent about 10 days exploring the island of Tenerife, and I still feel like we could have spent longer there. Despite being a relatively small island, it has the most to do and see of all the Canary Islands. These were our highlights.
