Tenerife earns its “island of eternal spring” reputation in winter. Daytime highs hover around 20–22°C from November to February, the south of the island stays bright and sheltered, and a UK flight lands you there in about four and a half hours.

It packs a lot into a short-haul budget: Teide's volcanic slopes, black-sand beaches, big all-inclusive resorts in Costa Adeje and lively harbour towns. Eating out and getting around are cheap by winter-sun standards, so your euros stretch further than they would almost anywhere long-haul.
