The Canary Islands stay warm all year, which makes them one of the few places in Europe you can campervan in comfort right through winter. Rent a campervan with us on the islands for a winter-sun trip or a longer stay in the sun.
Why the Canaries in winter?
The Canary Islands sit off the northwest coast of Africa but are part of Spain — and the EU — so it’s a European trip in a sub-tropical climate. Winter daytime temperatures are often around 20–24 °C, which is why the islands are known for their “eternal spring”. You get volcanic landscapes, beaches and national parks without the cold.
Which islands can you explore?
Each main island has its own character — Tenerife with the Teide volcano, Gran Canaria’s varied landscapes, Fuerteventura’s beaches and dunes, and Lanzarote’s volcanic scenery. Ferries connect the islands, so you can hop between them with the campervan.
Winter and long-term stays
The Canaries are a popular choice for longer winter escapes, when a few weeks in the sun beats a few days. If you’re planning an extended trip, ask us about long-term rental.
What to check before you book
- Overnight parking — rules vary by island and are stricter inside national parks, so plan your stops and use campsites where required.
- Ferry bookings — reserve inter-island crossings in advance if you want to island-hop.
- Vehicle size — some island and mountain roads are narrow and winding.
Who it’s for
The Canaries suit winter-sun seekers from colder parts of Europe, and anyone who wants a longer stay somewhere warm. If you’d rather drive to the sun on the mainland, see winter sun, one-way south.
