Plan Your Trip

Best Time to Visit Tenerife

Tenerife works year-round — but the right month for you depends on whether you want surf, beach, hiking or peace and quiet.

By season

Spring (Mar–May): best all-rounder, warm sea, flowers in bloom. Summer (Jun–Sep): hottest, busiest, best for kids. Autumn (Oct–Nov): warm sea, quieter, occasional rain in north. Winter (Dec–Feb): mild, top time for hikers and Brits escaping cold.

Events worth planning around

Carnival of Santa Cruz (February — Spain's biggest). Corpus Christi in La Orotava (June — flower carpets). Romería pilgrimages (August). Christmas markets in La Laguna.
