Canary Islands

Any time of year is perfect for a holiday in the Canary Islands. From winter to summer, the islands boast pleasant temperatures and the sun shines nearly every day. Apart from the amazing weather, there are many other reasons to choose a hotel in the Canary Islands. Simply find the best offer in the right location and start packing your bags.

Located in the Atlantic Ocean, off the coast of North Africa, these islands are one of the most attractive tourist destinations in Europe. This is all thanks to the friendly inhabitants, stunning landscapes and rich biodiversity with outstanding beaches, notable culture and historical ruins, delicious cuisine and unique choice of leisure activities, including sports such as surfing and scuba diving. The islands are also famous for their party spirit, with internationally renowned carnivals and other popular celebrations, as well as lively nightlife with all types of unbeatable music and entertainment.

The Canary Islands have many unique features and all of them are equally as impressive. The volcanic archipelago, made up of seven islands, offers everything a nature lover could ask for, from Biosphere Reserves, such as the entire island of La Palma, and contrasts ranging from the lunar landscapes in Lanzarote to the majestic sand dunes in the south of Gran Canaria, to iconic rock formations, such as Los Gigantes cliffs in Tenerife and, of course, Teide National Park, the largest and most visited national park in Spain, dominated by the highest peak in the country. But above all, the islands feature a variety of picturesque beaches – more than 500 in total – all with different types and colours of sand and different sizes. Some are perfect for relaxing and enjoying the tranquillity of the sea while others are perfect for achieving that adrenaline rush with sports such as surfing and diving. For water sports, Playa del Inglés stands out as one of the most visited tourist centres on Gran Canaria.

Even though the destination of choice in the Canary Islands will depend on each person, the exquisite cuisine is a common theme throughout the archipelago. Local cheese is a key ingredient and has been produced on the Canary Islands for hundreds of years. Other famous traditional dishes include papas arrugadas con mojo (potato dish), sancocho canario (traditional dish made with salted fish) and top-quality wines to accompany all foods. On Tenerife, the most visited of the Canary Islands, Barceló Hotel Group offers a wide range of cuisine in its hotels, with fine dining restaurants as well as a variety of menu options to satisfy all tastes, which is an important feature for visitors.

Even though Tenerife receives more tourists, the Barceló Hotel Group establishments in Lanzarote and charm of this little island have their own particular draw. Every island has hotels located next to the beach with rooms that offer spectacular views, and there are different options to choose from depending on whether you are on a family holiday or a romantic break with your partner. For the latter, many choose adults-only hotels, also available in Fuerteventura. There are also options to suit all budgets, all offering many different activities, luxury services of the highest level and a selection of facilities to ensure that guests thoroughly enjoy their stay on the Canary Islands.
