A whole day of chilling on the beaches of Tenerife
With average midday temperatures ranging from 20 to 26°C, Tenerife is a true paradise for beachgoers. If your idea of a vacation is all about spending the day basking in the sun.
Whether you prefer peaceful white-sand beaches, fascinating black-sand shores, or small volcanic pools, Tenerife has as much to discover as you can imagine. From the beaches of Los Guíos, Alcalá, or La Arena —just a few minutes from your room at Sholeo Lodges Los Gigantes—to the calm waters of El Duque, or Benijo and El Bollullo in the north, you have plenty to choose from!
Surfing Tenerife from North to South
Surfing, bodyboarding, windsurfing, kitesurfing… If your favorite sport involves waves, Tenerife has thousands of spots where you can have a great time in December. Just a few kilometers from Sholeo Lodges Los Gigantes, in El Médano, you can enjoy all these sports, with several kitesurfing and surfing schools in the area.
If you prefer quieter spots to ride your first waves, you can do so at Las Américas, or further north, at Playa del Socorro.
Cycling through the mountains of Gran Canaria
Gran Canaria is one of the top winter destinations not only for pros looking to train, but also for cycling enthusiasts in general.
Temperatures on the island in December don’t drop below 12º, so you can set out from Sholeo Lodges Maspalomas to explore landscapes like Fataga and Ayacata. If you’re looking for a more challenging adventure, the landscapes of Gáldar, La Cruz de Tejeda, Roque Nublo, and Bañaderos await you.
Discover a capital city that thrives outdoors in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria
Gran Canaria’s capital boasts a network of bike lanes that, in just a few minutes, takes you from its colonial heart to Las Canteras and Alcaravaneras beaches. The city invites you to exercise, go shopping, or enjoy an afternoon out in the historic neighborhoods of Vegueta and Triana, all the way to the port and La Isleta—right next to your room in our Flats.
Give the gift of adventure; give the gift of time.
If you love immersing yourself in the culture, the local surroundings, and connecting with other travelers—and you’re looking to enjoy a unique experience—give the gift of a getaway to the Canary Islands this holiday season! Because here on the islands, winter is definitely not coming!
