Canary Islands vacation rentals are close to luxurious resorts and exquisite beaches, and often within walking distance of lively nightclubs and fantastic restaurants. Though the vast sandy beaches are heavenly, inland forests and craggy peaks beckon hikers and explorers, while charming towns offer food with Spanish and African influences.

You can explore luminous underground grottos with turquoise pools and tiny islands, or take a camel tour of the Maspalomas Dunes. Like to get out on the water? Canary Islands vacation rentals provide a great base for days spent scuba-diving beneath the waves or bobbing along the ocean, looking for whales.

Elsewhere, embrace your inner cowboy and learn how to lasso and line dance from island experts, or pretend you're Lawrence of Arabia and ride a camel across the sand dunes.
Huddled just off the north-west coast of Africa, the Canary Islands boast an everlasting spring climate, with brisk sea breezes and cool waters lapping at the sandy beaches. The 7 islands boast average temperatures that hover between 64 and 75, but they also have a wide range of microclimates, thanks to varying topographies that include snow-covered mountains and pristine beaches. Lanzarote and Fuerteventura tend to be dry, with sunshine throughout the year. Tenerife, Gran Canaria and La Palma, though, will occasionally get some tropical rainfall.
Located off the coast of Morocco in north-west Africa, the Canary Islands are renowned for their black sand beaches and occasionally-active volcanoes. The islands offer a vast range of geography, from exotic beaches and sheer rocky cliffs to lush farmland and soaring mountains, and are also home to an abundant bird population, including the bright yellow canary. Contrary to popular opinion, the bird was named after the islands and not the other way round. Savvy observers may spot the rare and endangered caretta turtle or the bottle-nose dolphin.
