Buenavista del Norte holidays

You'll see a different side to Tenerife on a holiday to Buenavista del Norte – think secret beaches, stunning natural parks and traditional towns.

Charming Buenavista Del Norte

Buenavista del Norte is like looking at Tenerife with fresh eyes. It’s in an out-of-the-way spot in the north-west corner of the island, where the pace of life's much slower. Rather than bar-lined strips and high-rise hotels, you can expect charming villages, traditional craft shops and 18^th-century architecture.

Secluded beaches and natural pools

Buenavista means 'great view', and this place really lives up to its name. Craggy mountains wrap around towns filled with honey-coloured houses and café-lined piazzas. Along the coast, you’ve got secluded black-sand beaches and natural swimming pools carved out by volcanic eruptions that took place centuries ago.

Golf, watersports and outdoor activities

You can soak up the Canary Island scenery over a few rounds at the seafront Buenavista Golf Club. This championship course was designed by legendary Spanish pro Seve Ballesteros. Elsewhere, in Los Gigantes, enormous cliffs soar above the calm turquoise sea. It’s a popular spot for kayaking and you might spot a few bottlenose dolphins and pilot whales as you ride the waves.

Hiking in Teno Rural Park

Inland, the Teno Rural Park's a top pick for walkers. Hit the hiking trails here, and you’ll be surrounded by postcard-worthy mountain scenery, forest-filled valleys and striking views out to sea. Plan a stop off at one of the hamlets along the way, and you’ll be able to refuel on tasty local cheeses and pastries.
