Why Canary Islands
50+
HAND-VETTED RESORTS
Sunshine Every Month of the Year
The Canary Islands deliver sunshine every month of the year — volcanic Tenerife beneath the peak of Teide, the lunar landscapes and design hotels of Lanzarote, the dunes of Gran Canaria and Fuerteventura, and the green calm of La Palma. Spanish in spirit yet subtropical in climate, they are Europe's most reliable winter-sun escape.
At HighStreet Holidays we don't simply book the Canaries — we match the right island and resort to you, whether for winter sun, a volcano-and-spa break or a family beach holiday, with the flights and transfers handled.
With access to a carefully vetted portfolio, from Tenerife clifftop resorts to Lanzarote design hotels, we build a Canaries trip well beyond the package norm.
The Canaries are Europe's most dependable winter sun — warm every month, just over four hours away, with volcanic drama and surprisingly stylish hotels.
Signature Experiences
Moments That Linger
The Canaries reward the traveller who picks the right island. These are the experiences our clients come home remembering.
Tenerife & Teide
Spain's highest peak rising above the clouds, dramatic coastlines and the islands' best range of fine resorts and dining — the all-rounder.
Lanzarote
The lunar volcanic landscapes of Timanfaya and the design legacy of César Manrique — the most distinctive and stylish of the islands.
Beaches & Dunes
The golden dunes of Maspalomas on Gran Canaria and the endless white beaches of Fuerteventura — sun, sand and surf year-round.
Volcanoes & Walking
Hiking Teide's national park, the laurel forests of La Gomera and the green ridges of La Palma — a wilder, active side of the islands.
Whales & Ocean
Some of Europe's best whale and dolphin watching off Tenerife, plus diving and watersports in the warm Atlantic.
Spa & Wellness
Thalasso spas, volcanic-stone treatments and warm sea air — the islands' mild climate makes them a year-round wellness escape.

Best Time to Visit
When to Go
WINTER SUN
November to March
Mild, sunny days in the low-to-mid 20s°C while the UK is cold — the islands' great calling card and peak winter-sun season. Book ahead over the festive weeks.
SPRING & AUTUMN
April-May & September-October
Warm, sunny and pleasant, with thinner crowds and good value — excellent all-round windows for beach and walking alike.
SUMMER
June to August
Warm rather than scorching, tempered by Atlantic breezes — comfortable beach weather and the European-summer peak.
YEAR-ROUND
Every month
The 'islands of eternal spring' are warm and sunny all year, making them Europe's most reliable any-season sunshine.

- The EU's Entry/Exit System (EES) is now in operation — on your first entry you give a facial image and fingerprints at the border, rather than a passport stamp

- Passport valid at least 3 months beyond your departure
Health & Safety

- The currency is the Euro (EUR); cards and contactless are widely accepted
- The Canaries are on the same time as the UK
- Tap water is best avoided for drinking — bottled is wise
