Buenavista del Norte Holidays

Enter this gateway to lush volcanic scenery off Africa's west coast. The town's as relaxed as they come, sprinkled with small communities, aquatic activities and natural beauty spots within easy reach. Unwind while getting to know the landscape, or just savour the tastes of this Spanish island at a local tapas bar.

This laidback hideaway charms visitors looking to relax and recharge. Visit the famous pro-golf course for a turn around the green, then snap distant views from the local lighthouse. Spending an afternoon sitting back and watching village life go by from Plaza de Remedio, coffee in hand.

Water water everywhere, and oh so much to see. Get a view of the land from a different angle on a guided sea kayaking tour, or drive a quick 15 minutes to see the steamy volcanic pools and curvy lava formations at Garachico.

If you're happier on dry land, you can enjoy sweeping views of Tenerife from windy Altos de Baracan, or traverse black lava fields and country trails on a walking tour. Teno National Park's a 25-minute drive away, where hiking paths come with opportunities for wildlife watching.
