Hottest canary island in november?

Tenerife and Gran Canaria BUT in only in certain areas, let's see which ones.

Is it worth going to the Canary Islands in November?

Absolutely yes. The Canary Islands have a spring-like climate in November.

Tenerife in November tips

Tenerife is the largest island of the Canary Islands. It offers a wide range of attractions, historic towns, cultural sites and beaches. Popular attractions include the volcano El Teide, the beaches of Playa de las Amรฉricas and Playa de las Teresitas, and the colonial towns of San Cristรณbal de La Laguna and La Orotava. 

Tenerife is a popular destination for families, couples and groups of friends. There are many shops, restaurants, entertainment areas and sunny beaches where you can take a dip even on New Year's Eve. 

Tenerife in November where to stay?

Sunniest area in Tenerife 

Be careful not to get the wrong place to stay in Tenerife as the climate is very different between North, South, East and West. If your main objective is 'beach life', sunbathing and enjoying the beach, the absolute best area is the south east of the island: the least windy and sunniest area. If I really have to be more precise I would say

If I had to be more precise, I would tell you to book accommodation between Playa Las America and Los Cristianos.


Gran Canaria in November tips

Gran Canaria is an island with a combination of different landscapes, including mountains (inland), beaches and the famous Maspalomas desert on the coast. This island is also a popular destination for families, couples and groups of friends whether looking for an all-inclusive holiday or a simple flat. 

Best area to stay in november in Gran Canaria

Having bought a flat in Puerto Rico, a resort on Gran Canaria back in the day, I can safely say that it is the island with the best climate in the Canaries. The warmest and sunniest area of Gran Canaria in autumn-winter (I have visited them all) is in the south-west between Puerto Rico and Puerto de Mogan

Oh I forgot, the rentals vacation homes are built without heating. This is to tell you that below a certain temperature you never go down (on the coast).

Lanzarote in November

Lanzarote is a volcanic island with unique and fascinating landscapes. It is known for its black beaches, lunar landscapes and the works of art and architecture by Cรฉsar Manrique (beautiful I recommend a visit). In November, Lanzarote is a popular destination for nature lovers and those who enjoy touring by visiting different attractions. On the nature attractions side, I consider Lanzarote the most beautiful island in the Canaries.

I would recommend a holiday in the summer months if you are looking for a classic beach holiday and for touring trips also October or November. Consider that in the worst case you cover yourself with a rain jacket. It doesn't get very cold. They are sub-tropical islands anyway. The wind and changing weather can be a nuisance, but the turbulence hardly lasts several days. Read more: Lanzarote where to stay.

Fuerteventura in November

Fuerteventura is a desert island with white, sandy beaches. It is a paradise for water sports enthusiasts, such as windsurfing, kitesurfing and surfing.  In November, Fuerteventura is a popular destination for beach and water sports lovers and those who are not bothered by the wind. Personally, while I have enjoyed it, it is not the island I favour but only because I don't do water sports and the overly changeable weather makes me nervous. 

I would recommend it for trips until October and then in summer.

Even then, the most annoying thing that can happen is wind and a bit of rain, they are sub tropical islands you never get below 15 degrees (and if it happens it is the exception not the rule). Wind and changeable weather can be annoying, so equip yourself with a spring windbreaker. Read more: Fuerteventura where to stay.


CANARY ISLANDS IN NOVEMBER TIPS

4 tips for choosing the best Canary Island among Tenerife, Lanzarote, Fuerteventura and Gran Canaria:

  1. Consider your budget. Tenerife and Gran Canaria are the most expensive islands, while Lanzarote and Fuerteventura are cheaper.
  2. What do you like? If you are interested in nature attractions, surfing, Lanzarote or Fuerteventura are the best options. If you are interested in the classic beach holiday even in the middle of winter, Tenerife or Gran Canaria are the best options. 
  3. Take into consideration the time of year. The Canary Islands are a popular destination all year round. In November, the temperatures are still pleasant and it is not yet as packed with tourists as it is in New Year, January and February.
  4. Book in advance. Flight and hotel prices tend to increase as you get closer to your travel date. If possible, book your trip in advance to get the best price.

LEAST WINDY CANARY ISLAND

LEAST WINDY CANARY ISLAND

People often ask me which is the least windy Canary island in december, winter season, and tips to choose the least windy resort of Tenerife, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote or Fueteventura especially if they travel with children.

The least windy Canaries Islands are Gran Canaria and Tenerife but only in certain specific areas.

The bad news is that all the Canary Islands are windy BUT there are places more sheltered by wind and with beaches suitable in every season especially in the winter months (December, January and February).

Let's find out together.

least windy resort in the canary island
least windy canary island


I do not love places too windy: the wind annoys me a lot. For this reason, during my trips to Canary Islands, I always stay in resort sheltered from the strong wind. A sea breeze is pleasant, and inevitable if you're on an island but I avoid the places where the wind raises the sand and gets into my eyes.

  • LEAST WINDY CANARY ISLAND: least windy area in Tenerife

The least windy area in Tenerife is in the South-East area the best resorts are Los Cristianos and Playa de las Americas.

Least windy area in Tenerife: Los Cristianos find an accomodation near the sunniest beach in Tenerife "Las vistas" or Read more ๐Ÿ‘‰ Best place to stay in Tenerife.
  • LEAST WINDY CANARY ISLAND: least windy between Lanzarote and Fuerteventua

  • LEAST WINDY CANARY ISLAND: least windy area in Gran Canaria?
The least windy area of Gran Canaria is located in the South-West. Municipality of Mogร n.

Least windy area in Gran Canaria: Puerto Rico. Find an accomodation near the sunniest beach in Gran Canaria "Playa amadores" or Read more ๐Ÿ‘‰ Best place to stay in Gran Canaria.

  • LEAST WINDY CANARY ISLAND: Is Tenerife windy?
No doubt for me the Least windy area in Tenerife is Los Cristianos.

Tenerife is windy especially on the west coast (Garachico, Puerto de la Cruz ...). The best beach is "Las Vistas" in Los Cristianos, close to Playa de Las Americas.
Las Vistas beach is ideal for the children: no strong winds, not even dangerous waves.

  • LEAST WINDY CANARY ISLAND: Is Gran Canaria windy?
If you want to go on Canary Islands in winter, and you are looking for the best place to sunbathe and swim in the sea, I suggest you to stay in Gran Canaria.
The windiest area of ​​Gran Canaria is located in the North-east (airport area). Just below there is Pozo izquierdo well-known resort for surf lovers.
The least windy area of ​​Gran Canaria is enclosed in the municipality of Mogan which includes several villages and the best known are:
  • Arguineguin, 
  • Puerto Rico, 
  • Tauro, 
  • Puerto de Mogan... 
The beaches are protected from strong winds.

I did several trips to Lanzarote. The last one dedicated to the visit of Arrecife (the capital of the island), where the wind was so strong that it created waves so big that the coastal path to the Reducto beach has been closed. In a week I enjoyed 4 sunny days and 3 rainy days.

  • LEAST WINDY CANARY ISLAND: Is Fuerteventura windy?
Yes, Fuerteventura is windy. The windiest period is August. If you are looking for the least windy resort in Fuerteventura, you can stay in Caleta de Fuste (the beach is enclosed in a basin) or in the South, in Morro Jable (Jandia Peninsula, Pรกjara).

Morro Jable is windy but in case of strong wind, the staff make barriers to protect the sun umbrellas by the wind and sand storms. The beach is really amazing, long and large.
Find an accomodation in the lively country in Fuerteventura "Caleta de Fuste" or Read more ๐Ÿ‘‰ Best place to stay in Fuerteventura.
Fuerteventura is the island of surfing! So it must be windy otherwise it would not attract many fans. It is not an island that I recommend to people travelling with kids, but if you love the natural environments, the huge beaches without borders, you should go in Fuerteventura. The wind is a blessing for Fuerteventura because the sun is hot and the risk of burns is not uncommon.

  • LEAST WINDY CANARY ISLAND: temperatures

Usually the temperatures in the Canaries are about 25 degrees, but it happens (at the end of summer) that the temperatures increase due to the Calima (hot wind mixed to sand coming from Africa). The sky, usually blue, becomes blue-grey due to the sand carried by the wind. Fortunately they are sporadic episodes which last even 1 or 2 days. Although the sea temperature is not as mild as the Mediterranean Sea, it is pleasant to swim, especially if you live in northern Europe.

maspalomas is windy?
Playa del Ingles - Maspalomas beach


Maspalomas and Playa del Ingles have milder temperatures. This places are not always windy, depending by the period. Some day is almost impossible to stay on the beach cause the wind raises the sand and this bothers.
In these days is possible stay behind the dunes, downwind, or, if you prefer, take the bus, or car, and drive for 15 km towards Anfi del mar, Puerto Rico, Amadores...

Fuerteventura for a winter sun holiday with kids

Fuerteventura holiday: looking for a place that isn't too windy for kids

Hey Moira, I'm looking for some advice and hoping you will have some time to help. I'm travelling from England to Fuerteventura in February. We haven't been there before, so now on a search to find somewhere suitable to stay. The main issue is we will be travelling with a 5 month old baby and 2 boys.

I'm looking for a beach that isn't too windy for the baby. I don't know if it will be cold or not in February but cold plus wind won't be ideal with 2 kids and a baby so just looking for some advice on where is best to go (which town/beach and if you know anyone with any accommodation that is close to the beach and near some food places that would be amazing). 

I read your blog about finding places with walls around pools so not sure what is ideal and hoping you have some contacts/experience so we can find something.

The boys are quite energetic, love swimming and sandy beaches and exploring so if you have a place in your mind that's like that I would love to hear from you. I hope you can spare some time to share your thoughts.

Thank you!

Fuerteventura where is best to go with kids?

Caleta de Fueste is the best place to stay in Fuerteventura with kids.

I receive several emails like this (I also have an Italian blog). If you face the same situation, here is my thoughts and advice about it.

Is February a good time to visit Fuerteventura?

Fuerteventura is not the island I would choose for a February stay in the Canaries with children. Definitely better to go to Gran Canaria southern zone: Puerto Rico/playa Amadores area (videos about these beaches).

However, since you've already booked your flight, it's better if you're staying in Caleta de Fuste.(see photo).
Fuerteventura is windy, the climate is very variable and the last time I was in Fuerte, in late January, I never swam but I got a tan lying under the fence that surrounds the beach of Caleta de fuste.

IS FUERTEVENTURA WINDY? Least windy part

Is Fuerteventura windy? 

Yes, Fuerteventura is windy: the surfing championships take place in this island.

How is the weather in Fuerteventura

The weather in Fuerteventura is very variable: the wind is not constant but there are days that can be very strong, others only a slight breeze. When the wind drops, it is very hot and the sun is quite scorching. I'll tell you if you have fair skin and you're at risk of getting burned.

IS FUERTEVENTURA WINDY?

  • Least windy part of Fuerteventura

On my last vacation in Fuerteventura, I spent 10 days on this beautiful island staying in 3 different places: 4 days in Corralejo, 3 days in Caleta de Fuste, 3 days in Morro del Jable, so I could see nearby attractions without driving too much from one place to another and assess the climatic conditions in the various villages.

⭐ Turn English subtitles on, to follow my video:


I advise you to look for accommodation in the area you see on the map: Caleta de Fuste, where you are most likely to shelter from the wind even in the beach.

  • Is Caleta de Fuste windy? 


Caleta de Fuste is windy but it has a "conca beach: playa del Castillo" and is fairly sheltered. The wind is present in some days, not constantly. In the windiest days, people lie down and sunbathe next the wall surrounding the beach.

There are no waves in this shelter beach so children can stay on the shore to swim and play.
