All Inclusive Holidays to the Canaries

Some might say holidays to the Canaries are already all-inclusive. And by 'some,' we mean us, and Janet on TripAdvisor who stays at Laguna Park II every year without fail. Keep it up, Jan. But what we mean is, the Canary Islands have sun literally allllll year round, which makes them a top pic for a last minute jolly too. Beaches? Tons of 'em. Volcanoes? Got a few of those too. Add to that deals on cheap holidays and you're sorted.

You can pick an island that fits your vibe. Tenerife holidays are for donning your hiking gear and posting a pic with the caption 'Life just peaked'. Lanzarote holidays are for flopping down a beach towel and calling it a day. Fuerteventura holidays are for hitting the bars and downing cocktails you can't pronounce. We're not sure what more you'd want really, but because we're overachievers here (what are we like), we've got all-inclusive holidays to the Canaries that really do offer even more than that. The whole shebang included in one tidy little price tag, so you can drink as many barraquito as you like, chomp on Canarian potatoes until you're blue in the face, and embarrass yourself silly in as many aqua aerobics sessions as you can handle. Just...maybe not in that order.

Popular all-inclusive holidays in the Canaries

All inclusive holidays in the Canaries mean the only time you have to lift a finger is to wipe that smear of ketchup from the corner of your mouth. And even then, it's optional. Rock that ketchup if you want to. We've got holidays with multiple pools to dunk into, bags of restaurants to choose from and trips to tick all your boxes - from boozy boat rides to volcano tours with lava-fuelled BBQs. And to top it all off, these hotels all have deposits of just £30pp. But so do all our holidays. We don't believe in favouritism here. Anyway, here are a few of our favourite hotels in the Canaries.

Family-friendly all-inclusive hotels in the Canaries

Let's be honest, the kids probably couldn't give a shellfish about volcanic landscapes or Canarian markets. But that's where our family holidays in the Canaries come sliding into your holiday DMs (metaphorically), with all their watersliding, ice-cream-guzzling, disco-dancing goodness. Oh, and if you have a watersports enthusiast on your hands (*cough* Dad), then these islands are literally known for their breezy beaches, so you're always guaranteed good windsurfing weather.

All-inclusive hotels in the Canaries for couples

Whether you're travelling with hubs, wifey, boyfy or just Gaz from down the road who you've met up with a few times (fair play), the Canaries are a 10/10 choice for a couples' holiday. You've got beach clubs for those cocktails with the fancy straws, massive pools for elegantly dipping your legs into (or dunking each other into, depending how many anniversaries you've had), and adults-only hotels if you're looking for somewhere kid-free. Don't worry, we get it. Sometimes having to listen to Superman for the 50th time kinda kills the mood.

Where to stay in the Canaries

Not sure which Canary Island is calling your name? Well, read on to see which of these little beauties tickles your pickle.

Tenerife: Let's kick things off with the big kahuna of the Canaries! Tenerife is all about that mighty Mount Teide – Europe's tallest volcano, and yes, it's still sleepy (thankfully). Unique fact alert: Tenerife's Carnaval de Santa Cruz is second only to Rio's carnival. Say whaat? Perfect for: Party peeps with a dash of mountain-lovers on the side. Samba in the streets, and hike in the heat!

Lanzarote: Oh, Lanzarote, you Martian beauty! Known for its otherworldly landscapes courtesy of Timanfaya National Park, it's where the moon meets the Earth. Did you know? The island has over 100 volcanoes. Yup, it's LIT! Perfect for: Sci-fi lovers and lunar landscape lunatics. Beam me up, Scotty!

Gran Canaria: Beaches, dunes, forests – Gran Canaria's like nature's smorgasbord! Maspalomas Dunes are its crown jewel, giving Sahara a run for its money. Little tidbit: It's called a "Miniature Continent" for its diverse landscapes. Perfect for: Sun worshippers and nature nomads. From sandy toes to mountain highs!

Fuerteventura: Windsurfing wonderland, ahoy! Fuerteventura rides the waves like a boss, thanks to its winds that are perfect for kitesurfing and windsurfing. Fun fact: It's the oldest Canary Island, geologically speaking! Perfect for: Aquaholics and wind-chasers. Surf, sail, repeat!

Not to be that person, but...all of 'em! Well, all of the main ones anyway - like Tenerife, Fuerteventura, Lanzarote and Gran Canaria. It's less about finding an affordable island, and more about finding an affordable resort. These islands are all known for their value-packed holiday resorts, and they've all got regular flights from the UK with low-cost airlines. If you're really looking to save some dosh, do your research on the resorts. For example, hotspots like Costa Adeje and Los Cristianos in Tenerife are always going to cost a bit more than the more laidback areas, like Los Gigantes and Puerto de la Cruz.

Just like the characters in Friends, we love all the Canary Islands, because they're all different in their own way. Tenerife's the all-rounder - the *glue* of the Canaries, with beaches for flopping onto and mountain peaks for hiking up. Get you an island that does both.

Then you've got Fuerteventura and Lanzarote - both top picks for wind sports, although Lanzarote has a few more luxury resorts up its sleeve if that's your vibe. And if you're into livelier resorts where you'll be spending less time at the hotel, and more time filling your boots at local bars and restaurants, then Gran Canaria's where it's at.

Good news - the Canaries is a year-round destination, meaning even in winter you'll find most facilities open and operating just the same as in summer! Think markets, festivals, events and local attractions such as waterparks open for business. Things might be a tad busier in summer, but with toasty temperatures and plenty of sunshine during winter, these islands never go out of style.

Of course exactly what's included will vary from resort to resort, but almost all of them include all meals from breakfasts to dinner, unlimited drinks including cocktails, plus loads of activities like pool games, kids' clubs, and evening entertainment. Many resorts throw in extras like water sports, tennis courts, mini golf, fitness centers, and spa facilities. The bigger resorts often have multiple pools (some adults-only), waterparks, live shows, and organized excursions to volcanic attractions like Mount Teide or Timanfaya National Park. You'll feast on fresh Canarian specialties like papas arrugadas (wrinkled potatoes) with mojo sauce, plus international cuisine - all without watching your wallet! The beauty is everything's sorted so you can try new food and drink without risk and just focus on exploring these gorgeous volcanic islands. 🍹

Your mileage may vary, but as long as you are happy to spend a reasonable amount of time at your resort all-inclusive is usually extremely good value, especially for families and groups! When you consider that meals at decent restaurants cost €20-40 per person and cocktails run €8-12 each, all-inclusive quickly pays for itself. The Canaries aren't the cheapest destination, particularly in popular resorts like Costa Adeje in Tenerife or Playa del Inglés in Gran Canaria. With all-inclusive, you can indulge in everything from fresh Atlantic seafood to local wines, try different resort restaurants, and enjoy premium activities like kids' clubs and water sports. Plus, the peace of mind is priceless - no surprise bills after a day exploring volcanic landscapes or lounging by infinity pools. Many resorts also include shuttle services to beaches and attractions, adding even more value to your Canarian paradise escape! 💰

Proper Canarian paradise! Modern all-inclusive resorts often feature multiple restaurants showcasing both traditional Canarian cuisine and international favorites. You'll feast on fresh Atlantic seafood, local specialties like papas arrugadas with vibrant mojo sauce, gofio-based dishes, and tropical fruits grown on the volcanic soil. Many resorts have themed restaurants - Spanish tapas bars, Italian trattorias, Asian fusion, plus poolside grills. The famous Canarian wines from volcanic vineyards are typically included, along with local beers and rum punches made with island sugarcane. Buffets are massive with live cooking stations, fresh fish counters, and local delicacies. Premium resorts even feature Michelin-level dining experiences. The variety reflects the islands' unique position blending African, Spanish, and Latin American influences. Plus those stunning ocean views while dining make every meal special! 🍽️
