Arona Holidays: Tenerife Sunshine in Santa Cruz
Arona, on the sunny south of Tenerife in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, is one of the Canary Islands' most popular spots for British holidaymakers. Its mild, warm climate runs through the year, which makes it a firm favourite for winter sun as well as a classic summer beach break.
It suits couples and families who want dependable weather, good beaches and plenty going on, all within easy reach on a short package holiday.
Where to stay in Arona
Green Garden Eco Resort is a 4 star eco-friendly resort in the Playa de las Americas area of Tenerife, a good choice if you like a greener, more relaxed base. For an adults-only stay, Coral Suites & Spa offers apartment-style accommodation in the same lively stretch of the south coast.
Getting there and when to go
Tenerife is one of the most accessible Canary Islands for UK travellers, and Arona's south-coast setting puts you close to the resort action. The standout feature is the climate: warm and sunny across all four seasons, so it works as well in winter as it does in high summer.
Beaches and resorts
The south of Tenerife is known for its sandy beaches, calm swimming and busy promenades lined with bars, shops and restaurants. Arona sits in the heart of this resort belt, so you are never far from the sea or from the buzz of the strip.
Food and things to do
You will find a wide mix of dining, from Canarian cooking and fresh seafood to international favourites that suit families. Days are easy to fill with beach time, pool lounging, watersports and shopping, with lively bars and entertainment for the evenings.
Who it suits
Arona is ideal for families who want sun and facilities, and for couples who like a livelier resort with plenty of choice. Those after total peace and quiet may prefer a smaller spot, but for sun and variety it delivers.
