Holidays in the Canary Islands have been a popular choice with British holidaymakers for many years. Located just off the coast of North Africa, the Canary Islands are made up of the islands of Tenerife, Lanzarote, Gran Canaria, Fuerteventura and La Palma - all have their own character, but one thing they have in common is lots of sunshine. Summers are hot and in winter temperatures rarely drop below the late teens. From beautiful beaches and dramatic volcanic landscapes, to party towns, golf courses and water parks, there's something in the Canary Islands to suit everyone. When it comes to Canary Islands accommodation, choose from self-catering apartments, luxury spa hotels and all-inclusive complexes. Whether you're looking for a family holiday, a young and lively getaway, a relaxing retreat, a bargain late deal or a dose of winter sun - a holiday in the Canary Islands ticks all the boxes. Why fly long-haul for some winter sunshine, when a 4-hour flight to the Canary Islands fits the bill just as well!
