Buenavista del Norte Holidays

Buenavista del Norte, in Tenerife, is a gateway to some of the Canary Islands' best volcanic scenery. It's as relaxed as they come – sprinkled with small communities, aquatic activities and local natural beauty spots. 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 golf course for a turn around the green, then snap distant views from the local lighthouse. Or, just spend an afternoon sitting back and watching life go by from Plaza de los Remedios square, coffee in hand.

Get a view of Tenerife from a different angle on a guided sea kayaking tour off Buenavista del Norte's coast. For more, drive just 15 minutes west to see the steamy volcanic pools and curvy lava formations in the town of Garachico.

If you're happiest on dry land, take in sweeping views of the island from the windy lookout point of Altos de Baracan, 20 minutes' south by car. Teno National Park's just under 30 minutes in the same direction. And it's a wildlife watching hotspot.
