All you need is SUN! 4 plans for February in the Canary Islands
February is the perfect month to fall in love with the sun — and with the laid-back island vibe — in the best climate in the world.
The month of love and Carnival arrives in the Canary Islands, bringing with it 28 days of colourful plans, beachwear, sunshine and feel-good energy — all lived in sandals, from morning to night.
There are plenty of ways to say “I love you”, but if you’re looking to treat your family, your best friend (or even yourself) to something truly special, don’t miss our SHOLEOGIFT promotion from 2 to 26 February.
Ready to keep moving this February? Here are a few plans you won’t want to miss:
Dress up and dive into carnival
For a whole month, colour and celebration take over the streets of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and towns across the islands, in one of the most famous carnivals in the world.
There are almost as many plans as there are costumes: the infectious rhythms of the murgas, the dazzling Queen and Drag galas, the International Maspalomas Carnival, or the bittersweet farewell of the Burial of the Sardine. Canary Islands Carnival is something you simply have to experience at least once in your life.
Nature is bloom: almond blossom season
In February, almond trees bloom across the inland areas of Tenerife and Gran Canaria. In Santiago del Teide, not only can you enjoy landscapes painted in shades of white and pink, but also festivities celebrating this iconic tree.
Meanwhile, in Tejeda (Gran Canaria), the village comes alive during the first days of the month with folklore, local crafts and traditional sweets — perfect for discovering authentic island traditions and gastronomy.
Beach-hopping, winter style
The mild temperatures in Tenerife and Gran Canaria mean that even in winter, the beach is always an option. From the golden shores of Las Canteras, Playa del Inglés or El Médano, to the striking black volcanic sands of La Arena, Tufia, El Cabrón or Playa del Hombre, you’ll find an almost endless choice of seaside escapes.
You, me and a Canary islands sunset
Tenerife and Gran Canaria are home to some of the most breathtaking sunsets in the archipelago.
Just minutes from your room at Sholeo Lodges Los Gigantes, watching the final light of day settle over the cliffs creates a picture-perfect moment. And if you’re looking for sunset from above, few places rival the palette of colours you’ll see from Teide National Park.
In Gran Canaria, nature offers countless scenic spots to admire the evening light — from Las Canteras Beach to the Maspalomas Dunes and Lighthouse, or the iconic Roque Nublo.
The land of endless summer is waiting at Sholeo
Whether you’re dressing up for Carnival, soaking up vitamin D on the beach, or enjoying a romantic getaway with someone special — experience February in the Canary Islands in full colour with Sholeo Lodges.
