Weekend getaway? Long vacation? A season of remote work? Whatever your pleasure, you can easily discover Tenerife from your Abama Resort property thanks to its privileged location. Known as the Island of Eternal Spring, this part of Spain invites you to take life at a leisurely pace. Charming villages, natural coastal landscapes and, of course, volcanic orography make for a unique natural setting of extraordinary treasures.
If it's your first time, we recommend you search for Tenerife tours that will take you to the Teide National Park, home of the highest peak in Spain and a World Natural Heritage site. Another excursion you shouldn't miss is a stroll through Icod de los Vinos to see its huge ancient Dragó tree, endemic to Macaronesia. Alternatively, schedule a visit to the rural park of Anaga, named a Biosphere Reserve for its impressive laurel forest whose species date back millions of years.
If you've already done these routes and want to explore new activities off the beaten track, here are three suggestions that will make you fall in love with this heavenly corner we call home. Have a good glass of Tenerife wine at a local bodega, a private sailboat tour on the Atlantic, or take flight. Adventure awaits!
Tenerife wines: toast in local bodegas
Since the first vineyard was planted in 1497, Tenerife wines have thrived, turning even Shakespeare and Walter Scott into fans who mentioned them in their work. Today Tenerife has no less than five denominations of origin on the island: Abona, Tacoronte-Acentejo, Valle de Güímar, Valle de la Orotava and Ycoden-Daute-Isora. Several producers open their grounds to curious visitors. Bodegas Monje, for example, organizes brunches, wine tastings and picnics featuring local products, while Bodega Comarcal Valle de Güímar boasts unique views and a guided tour with snacks or lunch. Whatever your choice, be sure to book in advance.
Tenerife excursions by yacht: surrender to the charms of the ocean
Tenerife excursions by yacht are an experience you'll never forget, not only thanks to the excitement of sailing on the Atlantic, but also because the crew will take care of your every need. You can schedule a full- or half-day excursion and practice scuba diving, snorkeling or deep sea fishing, just a few of the best Tenerife activities. Cetacean watching from afar or relaxing on deck in a quiet bay can also provide the calm and intimate moments you seek to share with loved ones.
Tenerife tours from the air: traverse the island in a helicopter
Tenerife tours from the air are an original way to contemplate the natural beauty of the island. This type of transport will give you a new perspective on many volcanoes, cliffs, beaches and mountains that are otherwise difficult to access. The experience can be anywhere from 10 to 60 minutes long, depending on the distance you wish to travel and what you'd like to see. Most companies that offer these tours have private packages for clients who seek exclusive experiences. Get ready for an extraordinary flight with extras like a champagne picnic if that's your pleasure.
If you're wondering what to do in Tenerife, you never have to look far. Bookmark these and other special plans for your next getaway. Whether you want a sunrise yoga session or a surfing lesson with a personal instructor, your property at Abama is the perfect jumping-off point from which to discover Tenerife at your own pace.
