Situated on the northern coastline of the Canary Island of Tenerife; the resort of Puerto de la Cruz is home to the amazing César Manrique designed Lago Martiánez saltwater pool complex, and an ancient harbour lined with 17th and 18th-century buildings. Add into the mix tasty local and international cuisine, a laidback nightlife, and an eclectic mix of accommodation and it’s easy to see why this place ticks the boxes on holiday wish-lists.

When is the best time to visit?
Warm temperatures year round, mean any time is the perfect time to visit Puerto de la Cruz.
