Our hand-picked Canary Islands stays
Twelve hotels we'd book ourselves across Tenerife, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote and Fuerteventura — Costa Adeje 5*s, Meloneras icons, Royal Level Barcelo and Iberostar Selection adults-only.
On Fuerteventura's Corralejo dunes, Secrets Bahia Real Resort & Spa — Hyatt Inclusive Collection — is the adults-only beachfront luxury anchor.
H10 Suites Lanzarote Gardens in Costa Teguise puts a family aquapark and water-park rides right on the resort.
On Gran Canaria's Meloneras dunes, Lopesan Villa Del Conde in Meloneras is the architecturally striking dome hotel with a destination Thalasso spa.
Barcelo Fuerteventura Royal Level — adults-only and Royal Level guests get exclusive pools, dining and lounge access in Caleta de Fuste.
In Tenerife's Costa Adeje, H10 Costa Adeje Palace is the long-standing 5* with seafront pool decks and gardens above La Caleta beach.
Iberostar Selection Anthelia is the brand's flagship in Tenerife's Costa Adeje — botanical gardens, beach access and a Spa Sensations centre.
In Playa Blanca, Iberostar Selection Lanzarote Park in Playa Blanca is the brand's adults-only volcanic-coast retreat with sea views and a sustainable focus.
Iberostar Selection Fuerteventura Palace in Jandia sits on the south coast with sea-view pool decks and a Spa Sensations area.
Melia Jardines Del Teide on Tenerife is Costa Adeje's adults-only 5* with rainforest-style gardens and an infinity pool overlooking La Gomera.
Royal Hideaway Corales Suites — Barcelo's Royal Hideaway tier — brings adults-only Yumé-design suites to Costa Adeje's clifftop.
Gloria Palace Amadores Thalasso overlooks Gran Canaria's Amadores Bay — the largest Thalasso spa in the EU and adults-only pools.
At the Maspalomas dunes, Maspalomas Villas by Dunas is the family-villa option with private terraces and a short walk to the beach.
Other Spanish destinations
Looking beyond the Canaries?
The Canary Islands are one of three Spanish hubs we plan from. For mainland Spain or a Mediterranean alternative, here's where to look next.
For mainland Spain — Andalusia's Moorish cities, Barcelona's Modernism and Costa del Sol beaches — see Spain holidays.
For a Mediterranean alternative with shorter flights, Balearic Islands holidays covers Mallorca, Ibiza, Menorca and Formentera.
