As the UK’s darker winter months drag on, many Brits are feeling the effects of low daylight, cold weather and post-New Year fatigue.
In southern Tenerife, winter looks very different: reliable sunshine, mild temperatures and an outdoor way of life that lends itself to feeling better, fast. Think simple, feel-good routines that are hard to keep up at home in winter: morning light on a terrace, an easy coastal walk, a swim, and dinners outdoors.
It’s a low-effort reset that helps you feel more like yourself again – quickly. “After weeks of dark mornings and being indoors, winter travellers value daylight, warmth, and time outside. Tenerife delivers that reliably and it’s why our guests return again and again,” says Jo Robinson, Chief Sales Officer at Spring Hotels.
With over 300 days of sunshine a year, Tenerife is one of Europe’s most dependable winter-sun destinations. From golden beaches and palm-lined promenades to al fresco dining and ocean swims, the island makes it easy to recharge both body and mind, without waiting for summer.
Spring Hotels, with six distinctive properties across Playa de las Américas and Los Cristianos, is a great base for making the most of it. With average winter temperatures in the low 20s and direct flights from the UK in under five hours, Tenerife is an easy, high-reward winter escape.
Whether you are on a rooftop terrace with ocean views, dipping into an infinity pool or strolling along the sunlit promenade, there’s time built into the day to slow down. For a more active break, Tenerife’s hiking trails, cycling routes and watersports combine movement with fresh air and warmth.
Families can take advantage of kids’ clubs and nearby attractions, while couples and solo travellers can unwind with spa time and fitness classes designed to reset body and mind.
