About this holiday
Seven nights in Puerto de la Cruz, a long-established resort town on the north coast of Tenerife. Mount Teide rises behind the town, and the Lago Martínez sea pools, a black sand beach and an old quarter with a harbour are all close together.
The package includes return flights from the UK, a 5-star hotel with breakfast each morning, and return airport transfers. The north is greener, cooler and cloudier than the south, so it suits walkers and travellers who want more than a beach.

Questions about this package
Is breakfast included in the Puerto de la Cruz package?
Yes. Breakfast is included every morning. Lunch and dinner are not, so you can try the restaurants in the old town and along the seafront.
Which airport do I fly to?
Most UK flights land at Tenerife South, approx. 1 hour 15 minutes from Puerto de la Cruz by road. Some use Tenerife North, which is approx. 30 to 35 minutes away. We confirm the airport when we quote, and the transfers are included.
Is Puerto de la Cruz a beach resort?
It has a black sand beach and the Lago Martínez sea pools, but the beaches are less sheltered than the south coast. It suits travellers who want a town, gardens and day trips as well as time by the sea.
Can I see Mount Teide from here?
Yes. Mount Teide rises above the town and is often visible on clear days. The national park is approx. 1 hour by road, and we can arrange a day trip or a driver on request.
When is the best time to visit Puerto de la Cruz?
It is mild all year. Winter days are around 19°C, and summer is warmer and drier. The north is greener than the south because it has more cloud and rain.
