Northern Star
Playa Jardin, Puerto De La Cruz
Forget the tourist traps. You’re here to see the real Tenerife, including its black sand beaches, rugged hinterlands and day to day culture. You’ll be the first of your group to greet the day from the peak of Mount Teide, and the last to stop savouring the sunset from the shore. The authentic culture in Tenerife’s northern towns will have you befriending the locals in no time.
Southern Savant
While you know Tenerife’s south has been infused with purpose-built resorts, you also know they were made to make your time on the island as fun as can be. The gleaming hotels with the vast pools and sumptuous spas are just your style, while the great food and cheap drinks of the south coast’s bars and clubs tick all the right boxes. As for the nightlife, you know the south is where the party’s at, and you’ll be strutting your stuff accordingly.

Teide National Park mountain pass
Tenerife should be enjoyed as a whole, not broken into bits. That’s your view, and you’ve planned your trip to make use of the island’s great road and cycling links to ensure you see as much as you can. From the golden beaches of the south to the volcanic black sand of the north and everything in between, you’re happy to take in the tourist resorts as much as meet the owners of the family-run restaurants up north. Tenerife is a realm of contrasts, so it’s best enjoyed in its entirety.
