The best family hotels in the Canary Islands for February half-term

With their dazzling volcanic beaches, wildly contrasting landscapes and fabulous regional gastronomy, Spain’s bewitching Canary Islands are a sun-washed adventure playground that delight families of all shapes and sizes year after year. The archipelago’s richly varied family-friendly hotel scene packs in everything from five-star wonders with all the trimmings (kids clubs, tennis camps, pirate ships, children’s pools) to irresistibly original low-key escapes with their own offbeat Canarian charm.

This, of course, is Spain, where kids cavorting around lively plazas while parents enjoy a few fuss-free tapas is a happy, regular sight. So, whether you fancy an activity-packed beachfront holiday with your whole tribe or a more laid-back retreat with the little ones, here’s our pick of the best family-friendly hotels in the Canary Islands.
