Hotels in Canary Islands, Spain

The Canary Islands, an archipelago off Africa's coast, are famous for black sand beaches, volcanic landscapes like Mount Teide in Tenerife, and year-round spring-like weather-temperatures range from 70°F (21°C) in winter to 80°F (27°C) in summer. In summer, you can hike Teide's lunar terrain or surf Fuerteventura's Atlantic waves, while winter offers whale watching off Lanzarote and exploring Gran Canaria's Maspalomas sand dunes without the crowds. Each island has a different vibe: Tenerife has lively resorts and star-gazing at Teide, Lanzarote features Timanfaya National Park's lava fields, and Fuerteventura is a windsurfing hub thanks to steady trade winds.
