Holiday Homes & Rentals in the Canaries

The Canary Islands are an archipelago located in the north of Africa, near the coasts of Morocco and the north of the Sahara, which makes up an autonomous Spanish community. Composed of the islands of La Gomera, La Palma, Tenerife and El Hierro, which make up the province of Santa Cruz de Tenerife; and Fuerteventura, Lanzarote and Gran Canaria which make up the province of Las Palmas. Islands of volcanic origin which, together with the archipelagos of Madeira, Azores, Cape Verde and Salvajes are part of the natural region of Macronesia. With a subtropical climate that gives place to a wide variety of landscapes of impressive beauty. What added to its paradisiacal beaches have made them one of the most important tourist destinations in the country, receiving every year around 12 million visitors. Do not miss the opportunity and find with Holidu your ideal holiday home in the Canary Islands!

Las Palmas, whose capital is Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, offers tourists numerous beaches that are ideal for both bathing and water activities. From extensive, fully equipped beaches to secluded, practically secluded coves. But also important natural spaces such as Timanfaya National Park or Iangua Natural Reserve, and a lively nightlife.

If you want to immerse yourself in the most authentic Canarian culture, the best option is to book a home in the province of Santa Cruz de Tenerife. It also has beautiful beaches and unique landscapes such as La Caldera de Taburiente, Garajonay or Las Cañadas del Teide, but you can also visit traditional villages with much charm that will remain forever engraved in your memory.

In the Canary Islands you will find a paradise that you will hardly want to leave. It doesn't matter which island you travel to or where you decide to book your holiday home. Everywhere you'll find fabulous beaches where you can lie back and enjoy the sound of the waves, sunbathe and recover your energy. The comparisons between the islands and the Caribbean are frequent, and it is not for less, because it has beaches to remove the hiccups, as Maspalomas, Jandia, Los Cristianos, the Beach of Las Canteras, in Gran Canaria; the Dunes of Corralejo, in Fuerteventura; the Beach of Papagayo, in Lanzarote; or the bucolic corners of the Charco Azul, in El Hierro, and Playa Nogales, in La Palma. Beaches that besides being perfect to relax sunbathing and bathing, are also perfect for practicing all kinds of water sports, especially scuba diving.

The Canarian archipelago is a true paradise designed for relaxation. In addition to beautiful beaches of fine sand and crystal clear waters, its islands offer the possibility of immersing oneself in landscapes of impressive beauty, getting to know picturesque villages where time seems to have stopped and freeing oneself from the stress of their spa circuits, one of the greatest demands for many travellers who decide to rent a home here just to have access to them and receive health treatments. One of the most renowned spa centres is the Corallium Spa, located in Las Meloneras.

The Teide is one of the images par excellence of the Canary Islands. As you ascend, the slopes of this volcano go from being covered by a large pine forest to having a lunar aspect, in which lava still occupies much of the territory. A must for both active tourism enthusiasts and those looking for new adventures to live. To get to the top, you can take the cable car or go trekking. It's your choice!

Canarian folklore is kept alive in each of the towns and cities of the archipelago, where it is common to celebrate pilgrimages and typical festivals, such as La Rama, in Agaete; Los Indianos, in La Palma or the Baile de Magos, in Santa Cruz de Tenerife. Carnival deserves a special mention. Gran Canaria, Tenerife or La Palma are some of the places where you can live a carnival full of fantasy and fun. Let yourself be seduced by the rhythm of the comparsas, dance next to the floats of the Gran Cabalgata and transform yourself for a few hours into everything you've always dreamed of. Staying in a farm or villa in the Canary Islands is the best way to get to know all these customs first hand, thus obtaining privacy, comfort and luxury in equal parts.

The underwater volcanoes located in the area of La Restinga, in El Hierro, have made it a place rich in marine flora and fauna, considered a kind of mecca for divers. Immerse yourself in the depths and enjoy autochthonous species and a different and original vision of the Canary Islands.

In the heart of the island of La Gomera we find the Garajonay National Park, which offers nature lovers a wide network of trails that will lead you to unique landscapes, feeling inevitably transported to the Tertiary Era of the Earth. The vegetation that dominates this space is the laurel forest that millions of years ago occupied the Mediterranean basin. At the moment we only find it in the macronesicas islands.

Canarian cuisine is another of the main attractions of this destination. A very rich and varied cuisine, with an exotic touch and different from peninsular Spain. Try the typical cuisine of the area, such as potatoes with mojo, almogrote, tacos de cherne, gofio escaldado or the old clothes of octopus and discover the most beautiful side of life in this magical and unrepeatable enclave.
