In November, temperatures are still pleasant, with a daily average of around 25 degrees. The Canary Islands with the mildest and most pleasant temperatures in November are Gran Canaria and Tenerife. Rainfall is low, so it is an ideal time to enjoy the beaches and outdoor activities.

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 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.

  • 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.

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...

WHICH IS THE HOTTEST CANARY ISLAND IN FEBRUARY?

Gran Canaria is the hottest Canary island in February. There were 30 degrees last february, when I went to Puerto Rico (a village located in the warmest part of Gran canaria in winter).
    best canary island in february

    Hottest canary island in february

    The hottest Canary islands in February perfect for a beach holiday are Tenerife, southern part and Gran Canaria, Southwest area.

    Spend a warm holiday in Tenerife or Gran Canaria is cheap. These islands are easy to reach by frequent low cost air flights company like Ryanair. Fair prices.
    In general, the Canary Islands have a mild climate all year around but not all the 7 spanish islands are so warm.

    For those who want to spend the winter months at the beach, sunbathing, I would exclude, for climatic reasons, Fuerteventura and Lanzarote: in this islands is better to go in summer-spring.
    HOTTEST CANARY ISLANDS IN FEBRUARY
    Playa Amadores in December


    HOTTEST CANARY ISLAND in February| Gran Canaria


    The best area to spend New Year in Gran Canaria and the winter months is in the southwestern towns of the island: due to its geography, this area remains protected by strong winds. For this reason it is the warmer and the sunniest canary islands.

    Puerto Rico Beach in february


    I have a holiday apartment in Gran Canaria so... if you are looking for a hotel or apartment for Christmas in the Puerto Rico, Arguineguin or Playa de Amadores area, I advise you to book early.

    This advice should not be considered during the "Covid" months, when the flow of tourism is reduced. Indeed, traveling to the Canaries, at this time, is quite cheap and the beaches are not as crowded as usual.

    Usually, it is quit difficult to find cheap apartments "last second" in New Year's Eve" in the hottest part of Gran Canaria because half of European people is wintering here. 

    So if you have not booked in advance and you are at the last minute wanting to organize a holiday in Gran Canaria, you can stay in the neighboring countries.

    The New Year's Eve of  Playa del Inglรฉs and Maspalomas is a good alternative if you do not find an accommodation in the southwest area of Gran Canaria. The Maspalomas beach is wide but windy and colder than Puerto Rico, Amadores and Puerto de Mogan beaches BUT from Maspalomas you can get to these beaches by bus or car, just 10-15 km away.

    Hottest towns in Tenerife

    The hottest towns in Tenerife are Los Cristianos, Playa de Las Americas, Costa Adeje.

    If you've already visit Gran Canaria, or looking for a resort more lively, the southeast of Tenerife is a good alternative.

      Hottest Canary Island in December ๐ŸŒž

       – the short answer -

      In general, the Canary Islands have a mild climate in winter but not all the places are so warm. Over the years, I visited all the islands.

      For those who want to spend the Christmas and New Year's Eve in the beach, sunbathing, is the better to stay in Tenerife or Gran Canaria. NO DOUBT!

      • Warmest Canary Islands best for nightlife:
      I suggest you stay in Tenerife if you are looking for the warmest Canary Island that also have a lively nightlife
      • Sunniest Canary Islands in winter:
      Choose Gran Canaria (SOUTHWEST PART) if you prefer sea life, sunbathing, and a more stable and sunniest climate. 

      Trust me. Puerto Rico is the best area to stay in Gran Canaria in winter: you can easily move to the other beaches (Playa Amadores can be reached on foot, if you choose an accommodation on the West Hill, like this residence.)

      I'm sure, once you get here, and looking from the balcony, you'll thank me for the advice! ❤️ 

      Warmest canary island in january



      The warmest Canary island in January is Gran Canaria: the southwestern part.

      Due to its geography, this area remains protected by strong winds, beaches too, so it is a pleasure sunbathe and lying on the beach.

      So if you want to stay in the warmest area of Gran Canaria, in the peak season, it is better to book in advance otherwise, the best accommodation and cheap apartments, will no longer be available. 

      Best place to stay in Gran Canaria in february

      Best accommodation to stay in Gran Canaria near best beaches:

      ⇨ Holiday club vista Amadores: Amazing views. Close to the famous Amadores beach, great for autumn-winter stays. Ideal for couples. Romantic sunset.

      ⇨ Apartamentos Mayaguezonly for adults guests (no children) in Puerto Rico near the harbor.

      ⇨ Warmest Canary island in december - Hotel Cordial Mogan Playa - Beautiful resort located in Puerto de Mogan. Small but pretty beach surrounded by shops. A village made up of white houses with colorful flowers on the balconies. Intimate, full of restaurants, ideal for couples or for families with children.

      Hottest canary island in January

      Gran Canaria. Although the Canaries have a reputation for conserving the warmth of summer practically all year round, there are considerable differences from island to island in terms of climate. 

      Fuerteventura is one of the warmest of the Canary islands in January BUT is windy. I've been there a couple of times in January and February and the weather is very variable. When there is no wind, no cloudy, the sun is burning.

      However I prefer the more stable climate of Puerto Rico (Gran Canaria). The niche in which it is enclosed allows me to enjoy more days of sunshine, which is the main reason why I go to the Canaries in winter.

      However, if you find a cheap flight to Fuerteventura, accommodation is cheaper here. I recommend going to the south: to Morro del Jable, to enjoy the best climate. If you want a little more lively place, choose Caleta de Fuste (which is a blasphemy to say "lively place" in Fuerteventura, the land of relaxation).

      I hope that with my tips about warmest Canary Island, you will choose the perfect place for your holiday and you will come back to home very tanned.

      To know:

      Except for the period of hardship due to Covid, usually is difficult to find cheap apartments if you book in periods like Christmas, New Year's Eve, Carnival, Easter... because lots of tourists, from all over Europe, are wintering here.

      I have nothing more to add, except that the latitude of the Canary Islands allows for maximum absorption of vitamin D: usually deficient in people living in northern countries (vitamin D strengthens the immune system! We all need it!).

      Have a nice trip! 

      IS COSTA ADEJE WINDY?

      • Is Costa Adeje windy?


      Costa Adeje is not so windy. It is as not windy as Fuerteventura or Lanzarote. The resorts in the south-east part of Tenerife are more sheltered by strong winds.

      The windiest part of Tenerife is on the west and north coasts. In these areas the climate is colder, cloudy and rainy than in the southern areas.
