Flights from Manchester to Tenerife South

Flights to Tenerife from Manchester: explore the largest of the Canaries 

Idyllic, captivating and exquisitely stunning, Tenerife is an ideal holiday destination for travellers from around the world and is loved for many reasons. The beaches in this sun-kissed destination are a number one attraction, and north, south and west regions are all diverse, with a little something special to offer all types of visitor. Tenerife's volcanic landscape creates a canvas for mountains, valleys and villages, and verdant, green open spaces provide the perfect location for luxurious golfing resorts. 

When to visit Tenerife

Tenerife is wonderful to visit all year round for its glorious weather and lively events. North Tenerife is cooler than the south, and also tends to be wetter. The peak season occurs in January to April and flight prices drop around the wintertime. However, hotel prices are at their priciest at this time. September is a particularly good month to visit, as the weather is reliable and accommodation rates are lower. 

Tips before your flight arrives in Tenerife

Los Cristianos and the Playa de las Americas are the main resorts and beaches in South Tenerife and are both very popular. If you prefer quiet, tranquil beaches, visit the west coast. The north of Tenerife is excellent for those who enjoy partaking in surfing and hiking activities. 

Restaurant prices and food are a little lower in the Canary Islands, in comparison to Britain, so you'll save yourself some cash. 

The Carneval in Santa Cruz and Pueto de la Cruz occurs in the months of February and March, and on May 30, visitors and locals get to experience a variety of music, dance and festivals at the "Dias de las Islas Canaries". This event marks a public holiday on the Canary Islands. On October 12, "Dia de la Hispanidad" (Columbus Day) is held with more revelries to usher in this Spanish national holiday. If your holiday coincides with this date, you'll get to enjoy lots of events and parades.
