Christmas under the sun

December 25 in the Canary Islands. You stroll along the shore on an idyllic beach before plunging into its crystal clear waters.
 
You lose yourself on paths winding through prehistoric forests teeming with nature in all its wildnes.
 
Or you simply lounge in the sunshine and relax in your peaceful hotel swimming pool. That’s Christmas on the island –warm, and just the way you like it.
 
Only four hours’ flying time away you’ll find a wonderful climate –considered the best in the world– and one of the most extensive hotel infrastructures in Europe to ensure you feel absolutely at home while you celebrate the festive season with your partner or with the whole family.
 
See in the New Year with a dip in the sea
 
Waiting to welcome the New Year at an outdoor terrace is something you can do in very few places in Europe. In the Canary Islands you can also start off the evening by dining on local shellfish in one of the numerous restaurants, continue with a gala New Year’s Eve party under one of the starriest skies in the world, and –depending on when the night ends– the next morning you can join in with the traditional swim in the sea as a symbol of renewal and purity.
 
A Canarian tradition that’s bound to bring you good luck so you can start out the year on the best possible footing.
