Family Breaks Canaries

The Canary Islands: Tenerife, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote and Fuerteventura; they all have so much to offer families looking for a sunshine break which is not a million miles from home. Spain and the Mediterranean resorts might be nearer, but the Canaries are hot and sunny all year round, which many of the popular Mediterranean resorts are not. So if you fancy a winter break with the kids during spring half term, the Canary Islands are the perfect choice.

Tenerife

Tenerife is the largest of the Canary Islands and is famous for its booming nightlife and black sandy beaches. But although the island of Tenerife is very popular with the younger crowd who come for an action-packed week of clubbing and drinking, Tenerife is also a great family holiday destination and resorts such as Playa de las Americas and Puerto de Santiago offer just the right mix of lively entertainment and sandy beaches. Whatever your budget, Tenerife has something to offer everyone, from luxurious hotels to cheap and cheerful self-catering apartments. So pack your sun tan lotion and take the kids for some fun in the sun.

Lanzarote

Lanzarote is famous for its striking volcanic landscape and miles of white sandy beaches. Puerto del Carmen is Lanzarote’s party resort, but Costa Teguise with its fabulous beaches, large water park and low key family friendly vibe is more suited to families with younger children. Costa Teguise might not have miles of clubs and bars, but it does have a weekly market where you can pick up some locally made crafts before chilling out with a donut, an ice cream or some tapas.

Family Friendly Hotels and Apartments

Parque Santiago 3 is a popular self-catering apartment complex in the lively resort of Playa de las Americas in Tenerife. It has a massive outdoor swimming pool and is only a short stroll from the beach. Parque Santiago is also conveniently located right in the middle of the resort bars, restaurants and shops.

The Ficus Apartments in Costa Teguise is nice and quiet if you want a more relaxing break. The apartments have an on-site kids’ entertainment team to keep your little ones happy, plus modern self-catering apartments, two pools and a playground area.

Be Live Playa la Arena in Puerto Santiago, Lanzarote, is only a short distance from the lovely beach of Los Gigantes. If you book this hotel on Jet2holidays, you will find that it is ideal for families as there are lots of fun activities for children of all ages to enjoy.

A break in the Canaries could be just what your family needs and you will find that Be Live Playa La Arena offers you the perfect accommodation to provide you with everything that you and your family needs to keep you all occupied.
