The gloomy weather in the UK has prompted many to seek a sunny escape, and Ryanair has just announced a sale with significant discounts on flights until the end of March. Among the various options, one particularly enticing deal is for flights to the Canary Islands starting at just £14.99 one way. Despite recent storms, the upcoming weather forecast for the islands shows promising highs of 20°C with mostly sunny days. By March, temperatures are expected to reach 20-22°C during the day, offering the perfect opportunity to enjoy the beach or relax by the pool.
For those looking for added winter warmth, selected dates offer fares as low as £15 to Tenerife South from various UK airports such as Birmingham, London-Stansted, and Edinburgh. Tenerife, known for its favorable weather conditions, especially in the southern part of the island, attracts many British visitors during this time of year. Popular resorts like Costa Adeje, Playa de las Américas, and Los Cristianos provide sandy beaches, family-friendly attractions, and a variety of dining options that remain open throughout the winter season. Alternatively, for a more serene experience, travelers can opt for a stay in Los Gigantes, renowned for its dramatic volcanic cliffs and natural rock pools suitable for swimming.
Additionally, flights to Gran Canaria are available from £14.99, departing from airports like London-Stansted, Manchester, Bournemouth, and Bristol, making it more affordable than ever to explore this volcanic island. Similar to Tenerife, Gran Canaria offers a pleasant climate and is slightly less crowded, although it boasts lively resorts such as Maspalomas in the southern region.
While Gran Canaria is often associated with beach relaxation, winter is also an ideal time for hiking enthusiasts due to the mild weather conditions. The hike up Roque Nublo is a popular choice, taking just 30 minutes to reach the summit and providing panoramic views of the island’s volcanic scenery.
Not to be overlooked, Fuerteventura is another gem included in Ryanair’s sale, with fares starting at £15 from Stansted and East Midlands, and from £16 from Leeds Bradford. Characterized by its flat, desert-like landscape and extensive sandy beaches, Fuerteventura offers a unique experience compared to other Canary Islands.
Many winter visitors prefer to stay in Corralejo, situated at the northern tip of the island, where activities like swimming, windsurfing, and various water sports are popular year-round. The town also boasts vibrant nightlife and opportunities for hiking, such as the trek up Montaña Roja, providing stunning views of the sea towards Lanzarote on clear days.
