Each island of the Canaries has its own unique personality, with no shortage of mind-blowing landscapes. However, when it comes to wellness retreats, Tenerife, Fuerteventura, Lanzarote, Gran Canaria, and La Palma are the most popular destinations.
Tenerife is the largest and most visited in the archipelago, offering a vast selection of health and wellness retreats, from short to long and budget to luxury. Most retreats are located on the southern part of the island. But the more remote northern coast is not to be missed either.
Dubbed the “Hawaii of Europe”, Fuerteventura is famous for its desert-like scenery and great surf spots. With easy-to-recognize lunar landscapes, Lanzarote offers plenty of hiking opportunities on its volcano cones and black fields of lava and ashes.
Gran Canaria has an incredibly varied landscape, which is why it’s often referred to as a “continent in miniature”. You can meditate on a snow-capped mountain, do yoga on the beach, soak in a jacuzzi in a subtropical valley, and relax on a sand dune, all in the same day!
If you’re looking for incredible unspoiled scenery where you can truly disconnect from the hustle and bustle of daily life, you can’t go wrong with La Palma and its contagious tranquil vibes.
