Tenerife has been reborn; shedding its old image it has revealed its natural bounty as well as maintaining an element of the party island atmosphere – Tenerife is an island that has it all. Climb Mount Teide and witness brilliant starry nights; join in the party at the world’s second largest carnival; visit Siam Park (voted the world’s best water park) or take to the waves for a vast array of water sports.
Tenerife’s location has as great an influence on its culinary dishes as its connection to Spain – into the melting pot go African, Spanish and Latin flavours.
The mojos (sauces) that accompany the Canarian ‘wrinkled potatoes’ have a hint of spice, while the fresh fruit that grows in abundance makes it ways into both food dishes and drinks. As an island, fish and seafood naturally play a big part in Tenerife’s gastronomy.
Your taste buds will be enjoying the holiday when you stay at a CLC World resort on Tenerife.

Tenerife’s biggest and best water theme park. Siam Park, Tenerife’s most popular holiday attraction, opened in 2008 and is an exciting, Thai-themed water park ‘par excellence’.
Only a short drive away from your Tenerife holiday accommodation, Siam Park brings an exotic, eastern feel to water theme park fun and is ideal for all the family, with meandering river rides, a huge wave pool – why not take a surf lesson! – as well as thrill-a-second flumes, tubes and slides.
Mount Teide National Park is located just under an hour away from our CLC World resorts and its lunar type landscapes makes for a fascinating day trip out.
The highest point in Spain, and the third highest volcano in the world measured from its base on the ocean floor, Mount Teide soars 3,718 metres above sea level.
The volcano and surrounding areas make up the National Park which was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2007 and is one of the most visited national parks in the world.
La Gomera is a beautiful island off the coast of Tenerife and is the second smallest of the seven main islands of the Canaries group.
From your accommodation, the island is reached by ferry and was the last place that Christopher Columbus dropped anchor before setting of in search of the new world in 1492.
The island is of volcanic origin, circular in shape and rises to 1.487 metres at its peak – easily viewable from Tenerife. La Gomera is a very green and fertile island and is a favourite among nature and wildlife lovers.
With no fewer than nine superb golf courses spread across the north and south of the island – and thanks in no small part to its perfect, year-round ‘spring’ climate – Tenerife is the ideal base for a complete golfing holiday, or just a relaxing round of holiday golf.
Playa de Las Americas is one of the most popular holiday destinations in Tenerife located on the southern coast of the island between the municipalities of Arona and Adeje.
A purpose built resort, Playa de Las Americas has a little bit of everything you could ever want from a holiday in Tenerife – great beaches, water sports, golf and legendary nightlife.
CLC World’s resorts in Tenerife are the perfect accommodation near Playa de Las Americas for you to chill out on the many beaches during the day, while still having plenty to do in the evenings and further on into the night if you so wish.
The cliffs of Los Gigantes are one of the most spectacular tourist attractions in Tenerife and the name Los Gigantes literally means ‘The Giants’.
Soaring to height of 800 metres out of the sea, giant rock formations tower over the resort town of Santiago del Teide and make for a great day out in Tenerife.
Marvel at the colour and structure of these ancient cliffs with guaranteed views from all over the town of Santiago del Teide. From the town’s modern marina, boat trips run at regular intervals allowing an up close view of the giants.
The perfect all year round climate makes Tenerife the number one choice for holidaymakers who love water sports and leisure activities while on holiday.
The island of Tenerife has a wide range of sports and leisure choices on offer that cater for everyone from deep sea fishing and scuba diving to sailing and kite-boarding.
From CLC World’s holiday accommodation in Tenerife just a short drive away is the fascinating Puerto Colon and also the lively resort area of Playa de Las Americas where many water sports activities are on offer.
If you are looking for an amazing underwater experience in San Miguel Marina without getting wet, Submarine Safaris offers the ultimate family experience.
As the submarine submerges over 100ft below the Atlantic, hundreds of different species of fish and marine life peer into the windows. If you want to get up close and personal with one of the most spectacular species, watch out for the Submarine Safari diver who swims up to the vessel accompanied by a giant stingray.
For those who can only take so much sunbathing and lounging by the pool, Tenerife now has a new and exciting experience to add to its already exhaustive list of holiday attractions: the ‘Explore Jet Ski Safari’!
As holiday excursions go, this one may be ideal for adrenaline junkies and thrill seekers who want to ride ‘freestyle’, yet it’s also a trip where families and first timers can have fun too! There’s a full safety briefing provided before you set off and the instructors ride along with you during the tour to make sure everyone gets the most out of this awesome adventure.
