Last Minute Holidays To Tenerife

Popular Resorts For A Last Minute Holiday

Playa De Las Americas

As one of the largest resorts on the island, Playa de las Americas is a good option for a late bargain break. There are lots of cheap hotels and self catering apartments in the area too, like the Sol Tenerife and the Gara Suites. In fact, being so close to loads of supermarkets, bars and restaurants can be ideal for a self catering holiday. If you like late nights and lively nightlife, this is also the area for you, making it one of the most popular last minute holiday destinations in Tenerife.

Costa Adeje

The Costa Adeje has some big hotels, with plenty of amenities likes kids clubs, multiple restaurants, swimming pools and extensive entertainment programmes, but they can also be pricier, often being a higher standard than other areas like Los Cristianos and Las Americas. Sometimes these hotels are keen to fill rooms at the last minute, but don't always count on it. Sometimes it can be better to book in advance, paying a low deposit to secure the price. You'll also find many hotels here offering all inclusive options which can keep the cost down while you're away. Costa Adeje is also home to some great sandy beaches too.

Golf Del Sur

Many holidaymakers choose Golf del Sur because of its location close to the airport, but there are plenty of accommodation options in the area, along with a variety of restaurants and bars. Don't expect the big nightlife of Las Americas but you can still find some lively places like San Blas. Last minute Tenerife holidays here can be just as enjoyable as other parts of the island.

Northern Tenerife

With more average rainfall and a longer airport transfers, the northern resorts of Playa de la Arena, Puerto de la Cruz and even Santa Cruz de Tenerife, aren't as popular for Brits, but can be a lot cheaper with last minute deals. Just be mindful that, especially from November to February, you might not get as much sunshine as Tenerife south but the late deals, Tenerife has to offer can be much cheap up this way.

Things To Do

While some of the all inclusive last minute resorts will want to keep you at the hotel, getting out and exploring the island is well worth it. And it's often better to book things to do in advance to make sure you get on the trip you want, but in Tenerife, you can actually book a lot of things the day before or even on the same day.

Siam Park

If you're looking for things to do at the last minute, Siam Park water park is an exciting day out. It's often better to book ahead of time for the best prices, but you can also buy tickets from attractions and excursions operators throughout the resorts. Your hotel may also be able to help you book tickets. Alternatively you can pay full price at the gate, but as it's one of the most popular water parks in the world, let alone in Spain, so expect a queue when you arrive in the morning.

Boat Trips

Amongst the many tours and day trips available in Tenerife, there are quite a few boat trips, heading out to sea to go dolphin and whale watching. These can also be booked in advance, but can be booked when you arrive.

Mount Teide National Park

For something a little more unusual, head up into Mount Teide National Park to visit the incredible lava fields that sit below the volcano. You can even take a cable car up to near the top for spectacular views of the surrounding area.
