Multigenerational family travel is not an easy thing to pack for; travelers have to find a destination offering not only accommodations but also activities, restaurants and more to entice every age group in the family. This year, put Tenerife on your family traveler’s radar. The largest of Spain’s Canary Islands offers a rare balance of experiences for families to spend quality time together while also meeting the needs of each member.
Endless Activities
Days can be filled with a variety of activities such as relaxing on the shores of Las Terestias Beach; checking out iconic attractions like Siam Park and Loro Parque; spotting whales and dolphins on coastal excursions; and visiting Mount Teide, Spain’s highest peak and UNESCO-listed national park perfect for hiking, stargazing and taking in scenic spots.
Nature Experiences Galore
Travelers can also explore the island through a variety of nature experiences like walks through pine forests, wandering ancient laurel forests, checking out volcanic landscapes, strolling coastal trails, and visiting local botanical gardens and parks.
Historic Towns
Tenerife also offers cultural experiences in its historic towns of San Cristobal de La Laguna and Puerto de la Cruz. Each offers local markets, Canary dishes, volcanic wines, and an inside look at traditions shaped by the Spanish and indigenous Guanche heritages.
