The Canary Islands are made for a grown-up escape. When the UK is grey and cold, you can be by an adults-only pool in the low twenties, with a book, a cocktail and nothing but the sound of the Atlantic. And because the islands are warm all year, an adults-only Canaries break is just as good in February as it is in June.
We’ve chosen twelve adults-only hotels across all four big islands, every one rated 4.6 or higher by guests. They range from intimate boutique apartments to a five-star all-inclusive, so there is something for every budget and style.

How we chose these hotels
We sell 146 hotels in the four main Canary Islands. To build this list we started with the 41 adults-only hotels, then read what our guests say: every hotel here scores highly on TripAdvisor. We spread our picks across different resorts so you can compare areas, and we only include hotels you can book with us today as an ATOL-protected package with flights and transfers. Prices and room types change daily, so use the search box at the end of this page for live availability, or ask a Travel Designer for a tailored shortlist.
Grown-up things to do in the Canaries
Take a cable car up Mount Teide on Tenerife, go whale and dolphin watching off the south-west coast, explore Lanzarote’s Timanfaya National Park and César Manrique’s Jameos del Agua, walk the Maspalomas dunes at sunrise on Gran Canaria, and try windsurfing or kitesurfing on Fuerteventura. Canarian wine from Lanzarote’s La Geria valley, grown in volcanic ash, is a must.
