Villas in the Canary Islands
The Canary Islands are like the entire world in miniature, with a huge diversity of landscapes to discover. And what better way to explore these islands than from your very own vacation villa?! Rent a villa in Lanzarote for lunar-like landscapes, Fuerteventura for amazing watersports, Tenerife for Europe’s highest volcano or La Palma for unforgettable secret sandy coves.
Villas in a natural paradiseLooking for an off-the-beaten-track villa in a natural paradise? The exuberant and magical natural surroundings of the small island of La Gomera will envelop you. Rent a villa in one of its villages and travel from landscape to landscape, through palm-filled valleys, deep gorges, and hidden coves with crystal-clear waters.
Travelers and activities
I can say from personal experience that the Canary Islands offer the most varied natural landscapes in Europe, and resultantly the most interesting hiking. So where will you start? The mountainous Anaga Rural Park in Tenerife, with its sharp peaks and deep ravines covered with a delicious carpet of laurel trees? Caldera de Taburiente in La Palma, where you can hike around a mountain crater? The area of the Mirador de la Peña in El Hierro, with its strictly sensational sea views? The Jurassic park-esque landscapes of Tamadaba Natural Park in Gran Canaria? The choice for hikers is simply outrageous!
The Canaries for beach buffsBeach buffs suffer from the same problem as hikers – there are so many extraordinary places to visit, which to choose first? Most of Lanzarote's beaches are spectacular, but Playa Papagayo deserves a special mention. Its turquoise waters and perfectly symmetrical round shape is the stuff of vacation fantasies. The beaches on the island of La Graciosa are the wildest of all, with La Cocina being a must-see. Located next to the Yellow Mountain, the contrast of the blue sea with the yellowish tone of the volcanic rock is simply spellbinding. A day on the beaches of Maspalomas in Gran Canaria on the backdrop of endless sand dunes is simply an awesome experience. This list really could go on for page after page. There is no way around it, beach buffs have no choice but to check out the Canary Islands!
The Canaries for watersports enthusiastsFuerteventura is the watersports center in the Canaries due to its excellent wind and wave conditions. El Cotillo to the north of Fuerteventura is one of the surf meccas of the Canary Islands, with its turquoise waters being an excellent place for beginners as the waves are fairly gentle. Experienced surfers head en masse to El Hierro for the best breaks on the island. Wind and/or kitesurfing your thing? Fuerteventura is one of the most illustrious destinations in the world for your sport!
At 3,718 meters, the snowy peak of Tenerife is the third highest volcano in the world! So take the funicular up and soak in the unparalleled views!
