Summers gone and although the sun still shows his face now and then, the colder shortened days and the dreary dark nights are enough to drive you to hibernation. If it wasn’t for the mortgage! Tenerife is a beautiful volcanic island of great contrast, and statistically the third highest volcanic island in the world from ocean floor to mountain top. It is also the highest land point of Spain and the most populated island of Spain too.
Tenerife has an envious climate of sunshine and warmth the year through. With a short flight time of around four to five hours from the UK, and multiple budget airlines offering daily flights year round it really couldn’t be any easier to get away between now and next spring.
We stayed at Sandos San Blas nature resort and Spa. A five star property situated only ten minutes from the airport. The hotel complex is extremely well designed and has numerous pools and bars, several of them adult only. Even though it is a large hotel, the design and layout of it makes it never feel crowded. Making this the perfect getaway for just the two us. Set into a hillside which leads you gently down to the waters edge, you can wander over the cliff path to the local harbour only minutes away for some Spanish wine and tapas, or stay onsite with the all inclusive option and enjoy the delights that are being served in the San Blas onsite eateries. Both offering fresh fish and a wide selection of traditional and European dishes daily.

The hotel resort has numerous sporting activities if the notion takes you. Try the onsite golf, canoeing in the boating lake next to the hotel itself, or tennis and basketball. On several afternoons we followed one of the walking trails through the nature reserve and discovered some of the hidden delights dotted throughout ?
The hotel offers large modern rooms with spacious balconies mostly offering sea views. Check out the funky glass wall through to the luxurious double bathroom and jacuzzi tub! The hotel offers nightly entertainment if after tea you still have energy left to get up and dance! We loved the option of just chilling out by the adult pool ( which was heated in the winter ) and enjoying a few G & T’s in the sunshine before heading for dinner and a bottle of wine. Sometimes it’s the simple things! Excellent staff, spotlessly clean and luxurious surroundings and not costing the earth, Sandos San Blas nature Resort is hard to beat ❤️
