The largest and liveliest of the Canary Islands, Tenerife is a favourite destination for many British and other European holidaymakers. The island's glistening beaches and enviable nightlife attract a lot of younger visitors as well as families and with plenty of holiday villas around Tenerife to choose from its the ideal place to holiday.
The landscape and countryside of the island is exotic, with beautiful flora and fauna areas as well as powerful mountains and volcanoes. Lying horizontal on the soft golden beaches, it would be impossible to realise how diverse Tenerife's scenery is.
Adventurous visitors can ascend to the summit of Tenerife's highest mountain peak, El Teide. However, underestimate the climb at your peril, with altitude sickness a possibility! Family water parks and adventure parks provide plentiful entertainment and excitement as the sun beats down.
Sample the delights of Tenerife's extensive fish diet, with the menus of local restaurants dominated by fresh local fish. However, to cater for the demands of the paying public, the southern half of the resort is more commercialised, with fast food and other take-away outlets available.
For a holiday that openly admits 'what you see is what you get', Tenerife remains one of the main choices for a varied vacation and a fabulous stay in a Tenerife holiday villa.
Some great places in Tenerife to try include Playa Las Americas, with it's wonderful holiday villas, and try a short term rental apartment in Los Gigantes.
