There are some places where life feels different. Where time seems to stretch, the important things become important again, and every moment seems designed to be lived calmly. The Canary Islands is one of them.
When travelling becomes a way of life
Here, elegance lives in the serenity of the surroundings. Accommodation that blends into the scenery, flavours that celebrate tradition and experiences that invite you to enjoy the outdoors all year round thanks to a privileged climate. More than just a destination, the archipelago offers a way of life where authenticity becomes natural luxury.
Accommodation that tells stories
Five-star seafront resorts, emblematic hotels steeped in history, boutique hotels with local character or private villas where the only sound is the ocean. The variety and quality of accommodation in the Canary Islands proves that exclusivity can coexist with nature and authenticity. Moreover, many of these establishments offer experiences that go beyond accommodation, integrating activities in nature, wellness and culture, allowing for a deep connection with the environment.
Canarian cuisine: authenticity in every dish
Imagine sitting in a small family restaurant - a guachinche, as they are called here - where a family shares their lifelong recipes and wine from their very own harvest. Or dining in one of the archipelago’s Michelin-starred restaurants, where local chefs and producers work side by side to turn the catch of the day, the island’s cheese or vegetables grown in volcanic soil into something unique and memorable.
But the best thing about eating in the Canary Islands isn’t only on the plate in front of you. It’s on the terrace overlooking the sea, in the evening light over the mountains, in that breeze that comes just when you need it. Here, you eat slowly, look into the distance and savour everything at once.
Experiences that connect you with the essentials
The connection with the land goes far beyond accommodation or dining: it can be felt in every experience. In the calm of sailing between islands, practising yoga on deck or spotting cetaceans. In the wellbeing that comes from the sea and the volcanic soil, with thalassotherapy sessions or treatments using natural minerals. With experiences that enable you to come closer to the Canarian identity through its traditions and crafts, for example by going out to fish with a local fisher. Or in one of the many activities that invite you to enjoy nature, such as walks through unique landscapes with a picnic in the midst of volcanoes.
And when night falls, under a sky so clear that it seems infinite, understanding that here, the extraordinary is experienced naturally, in a climate that invites you to enjoy the outdoors in any season.
There are some places where life feels different. The Canary Islands is one of them. It's that feeling of having regained something: time for yourself, unhurried conversations, the pleasure of simplicity. And once you feel it, you know you’ll want to come back.
