With Christmas less than a month away, and the weather having turned distinctly autumnal, those warm days of summer seem nothing but a distant memory, but you don't have to wait until next summer to feel the warmth of the sun again. With their famously mild, year-round climate, the Canary Islands are perfect for a break from the bleakness of the British winter and offer a host of different attractions to appeal to all tastes. At just four hours' flying distance from the UK, you can stroll along the vast sandy beaches of Fuerteventura, marvel at the striking volcanic landscapes of Lanzarote, go hiking through ancient forests on La Gomera, discover Spain's highest mountain on Tenerife, immerse yourself in Gran Canaria's bustling capital city Las Palmas, potter around charming towns and villages on La Palma, or simply escape from it all in a rural cottage on El Hierro.
As in all our destinations, our programme in the Canary Islands is aimed at travellers seeking a more relaxing and authentic holiday experience, so we focus on smaller properties with individual character in quieter locations instead of the large hotel complexes in the busy mainstream resorts. All our holidays are tailor-made, and we specialise in bespoke itineraries and multi-centre holidays, so if you are keen to explore more than one island, or different regions of the same island, we'll be happy to talk you through the options.
The Canaries' well-deserved popularity as a winter-sun destination, not just amongst the British but for holidaymakers from all over Europe, means that availability is already quite limited for much of the winter season, especially for the quieter locations and more personal accommodation options that we specialise in. If you are keen to book a winter break over the coming weeks and months, we strongly recommend doing so sooner rather than later. Simply call us on 020 8847 8700 with your requirements, and we'll do our best to find suitable options for you.
