Join us and discover some tips for traveling to Tenerife or Gran Canaria light on luggage—and coming back full of memories.

With this starter pack, you’re all set!

First things first: your documents and credit card or digital wallet. Make sure everything’s in order and that you’ve got enough balance for any unexpected moments.

In your travel backpack for the best climate in the world, flip-flops are a must. From hopping between little coves to strolling along Las Canteras, enjoying the beaches of Maspalomas, relaxing by the pool or soaking up the sun—or just chilling in your room—wherever you go, it’s all about swimwear, flip-flops, and a towel!

Thinking of swapping beach time for nature walks? Don’t forget comfortable, versatile shoes for different terrains, a light jacket, and of course, a power bank so you never have to worry about your battery. If you’re coming from the UK, remember to bring a type C or F plug adapter.

Plan smart, see it all!

If you’re visiting for a short time, having each day planned is the best way to beat FOMO.

Just half an hour from our stays in Tenerife and Maspalomas—as well as our flats in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria—you’ll find some must-see spots you won’t want to miss.
