Escaping Scotland for the sunshine is a must for many holidaymakers, which is why Tenerife holidays from Glasgow could be a great option in 2025 & 2026. The Canary Islands are well known for their year round sunshine and with multiple airlines flying from Glasgow International and Prestwick, you’re not restricted to just a dodgy charter flight as part of a package holiday.

Flying from Glasgow, you’ll be heading to Tenerife South airport, the gateway to some of the most popular areas on the island, including Golf del Sur, Playa de las Americas and Costa Adeje.
If it's a lovely holiday you're after, maybe even a bit of a party holiday in the sunshine with friends, Playa de las Americas is the hub of hustle and bustle. Although the better beaches are in Los Cristianos and heading up towards Costa Adeje, las Americas is buzzing. From shops and restaurants, to bars and nightlife, you've got everything on your doorstep and more.
The Costa Adeje is considered one of the more upmarket resorts in Tenerife. Here, you'll find many five star resorts, catering to both adults only holidays and family friendly holidays too. This is another busy hub, although the more north you go, the quieter it gets. Be sure to check out the golden sand beach of Playa del Duque opposite the Iberostar Grand El Mirador (adults only) and the Gran Hotel Bahia del Duque, which is perfect for a family holiday.
Hate the longer airport transfers and prefer to be much closer to the airport? The Golf del Sur is just a 10-15 minute drive from Tenerife Sur, so you could be leaving Glasgow first thing in the morning and sipping cocktails at the pool by lunchtime. You might prefer it here if you still like some bars and restaurants but not necessarily the bright lights of Las Americas.
You might find that some of the cheapest holidays are to Puerto de la Cruz. That's because it's on the north coast of the island, which can enjoy a little more cloud and rain, as well as being much further from Tenerife South airport. However, if you book with TUI or Jet2 and get your airport transfers included, this can be a great way to save money.
