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 Américas and Playa de las Teresitas, and the colonial towns of San Cristóbal 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 César 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

Least windy area in Tenerife: Los Cristianos find an accomodation near the sunniest beach in Tenerife "Las vistas" or Read more 👉 Best place to stay in Tenerife.

Least windy area in Gran Canaria: Puerto Rico. Find an accomodation near the sunniest beach in Gran Canaria "Playa amadores" or Read more 👉 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.

Playa Amadores

• LEAST WINDY CANARY ISLAND: Is Lanzarote windy? 

Yes, Lanzarote is windy. Is one of the windiest Canary Islands on a par with Fuerteventura. If you are looking for a sheltered and sunny beach in Lanzarote, you can stay in the South, in the area of ​​Playa Blanca.

Playa Dorada

Find an accomodation near the sunniest beach in Playa Blanca "Playa Dorada" or Read more 👉 Best place to stay in Lanzarote.

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, Pájara).

Morro del Jable by Tripadvisor credit

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 👉 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.

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...
