The weather is the number one reason why most people flock to Tenerife’s shores, to enjoy almost guaranteed sunshine all year. Family-friendly and just a four-hour flight away, it is consistently one of Britain’s top winter sun destinations. Most holidaymakers head to the south-western resorts of Los Cristianos, Playa de las Americas and Costa Adeje where the bulk of the island’s holiday accommodation is located. Although it’s hard to see the join between the two resorts, Los Cristianos is quieter than its neighbour and attracts a more mature visitor. With excellent “access for all” policies, the resort is a good choice for those with disabilities. Playa de las Americas has worked hard to revamp its image. Clichéd tourist tat and tired streets have been replaced with designer labels and bougainvillea-lined walkways, and the resort – still the main holiday centre on the island – now attracts predominantly families and couples.
