5 Plans to keep you on the move in the Canaries
Clear skies, volcanic beaches, dreamy hiking trails, and a climate that’s always spring. The Canary Islands are the ultimate destination for unique experiences all year round. Whether you’re after adventure, relaxation, or meaningful connection, these 5 April plans are your perfect excuse to keep those sandals on the move.
1. Catch a Wave at Las Canteras (Las Palmas de Gran Canaria)
Just a stone’s throw from your accommodation in Gran Canaria, Las Canteras is a top spot for surfers of every level. New to the board? Head to La Cícer, where you’ll find over 10 surf schools ready to get you started. If you’re already carving waves like a pro, El Confital is your go-to. It’s one of the best urban surf spots in Europe—fact.
2. Tapas and Wanders in La Laguna (Tenerife)
A UNESCO World Heritage site, this colonial city is packed with convents, mansions, and even its own cathedral. Ideal for a stroll and a taste of Canary charm.
Wander down the iconic Herradores and La Carrera streets, explore El Cristo, Adelantado, and La Concepción squares, and snap the impressive Nava and Salazar mansions—then dive into the local food scene.
From traditional taverns serving classic Canarian dishes and local wines, to fusion kitchens blending island flavours with a modern twist—and don’t forget the cosy brunch spots—La Laguna has something for every foodie. Just make sure you don’t leave without trying the famous laguneros hojaldrados filled with cabello de ángel. The sweetest end to a day in Aguere.
3. Chill (Above and Below Water) in Tufia (Telde, Gran Canaria)
Tucked away just 30 minutes from Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Tufia is a black-sand cove made for snorkelling, diving or simply kicking back. Crystal-clear waters are home to octopus, anemones and colourful fish—a peaceful slice of underwater adventure far from the crowds.
4. Hike to the Lunar Landscape (Vilaflor, Tenerife)
From your stay at Sholeo Lodges Los Gigantes, drive up to Vilaflor, the highest village in Spain. There, a magical trail through pine forests leads to a spot that looks like it’s straight from another planet: the Lunar Landscape. On a clear day, you’ll even spot Gran Canaria floating above the clouds.
5. Sand Dunes and Sunset Views in Maspalomas (Gran Canaria)
Explore a one-of-a-kind natural landscape filled with rolling dunes, a palm-lined oasis and endless beaches. Whether you choose Maspalomas, Meloneras or Playa del Inglés, end your day by the lighthouse as the sun dips into the Atlantic. Trust us—southern Gran Canaria is sunshine at its finest.
This April, life in the Canaries is all about moving to a flip-flop rhythm.
From our stylish lodges to our comfy flats, Sholeo invites you to live your best laid-back, fun-loving island life—whether you’re travelling with your crew, your special someone, or your four-legged best friend.
