Route 06 · Best sunset spots in Tenerife
The day ends better in Tenerife
There is something Tenerife does especially well: sunsets. You don't need to book anything. You just need to find the right spot.

Teide
One of the most special experiences on the island. The volcanic landscape changes colour completely as the sun disappears.
Benijo
Mountains, ocean and open sky. One of the most cinematic settings in Tenerife.
El Médano
A perfect way to end the day, walking along the beach beside the ocean.
Costa Adeje
An easy alternative if you're staying in the south. You can end the day facing the Atlantic without a long drive.
VviewCanarias tip
Arrive at least 30 minutes before the moment you want to photograph. The best light often appears before the sun goes down.
A plan for two
Combine a sunset with dinner and a walk by the ocean. Not much else is needed.
Where to stay
Our homes are spread across Tenerife and La Gomera, so almost all of these routes are a short drive away.

Route 01
The roof of Spain
There are places you visit and places you remember. Climbing Teide belongs to the second kind. At 3,715 metres, Teide dominates Tenerife and offers one of the most striking landscapes in the Canaries. To really enjoy it, it is worth planning the visit and giving it time.
Route 02
The Tenerife many visitors never get to see
If you want to discover a greener, quieter, more authentic Tenerife, drive north. Historic towns, roads winding through banana plantations, cliffs, natural pools and some of the island's most spectacular scenery make this one of our favourite routes.
Route 03
The forest where Tenerife feels like another island
Anaga is one of those places you struggle to believe is in Tenerife. Mountains, mist, narrow roads, ravines and small villages hidden among the vegetation make up one of the most remarkable landscapes in the Canaries.
