The Canary Islands have always been a popular holiday hotspot for families thanks to their near-guaranteed sunny weather, safe, clean beaches and well-established resorts. Tenerife – along with neighbouring Gran Canaria – is one of the go-to islands in the archipelago for family holidays.
Any visitors to the islands will be struck by how much Canarian people absolutely adore children, so don’t be surprised if locals, waiters, tour guides and hotel staff all speak to your children before they greet you.
Tenerife is also incredibly popular due to the number of family-friendly activities you can do, from exhilarating waterparks, whale and dolphin spotting, to hiking and nature trails, watersports and cool volcanic sights.
Accommodation-wise, Tenerife is awash with family-oriented hotels, apartments and resorts, so whether you’re looking for a casual spot with self-catering or all-inclusive options to keep the cost down, or all-out luxury with your own private family pool, you’ll find it in Tenerife.

You’d be forgiven for mistaking the incredibly chic five-star Roca Nivaria for an exclusive adults-only hotel at first glance. But a snoop around and you’ll find it’s home to its own children’s theme park. It’s a clever set up as you could easily come here without children and feel at home or with the entire family in tow. The Roniaventura park is split into two sections: one wet, one dry. The wet side has waterslides, a shipwreck, pools and water games, while the dry part has a zip line, climbing frames, cave and rope bridges. There’s also a daily kids’ club between 10am and 6pm for those children aged four to 12 – ideal for parents who want a moment to relax in the soothing spa.
