When the evenings in Britain draw in, Tenerife's north coast is a gentle place to find the sun again. The Hotel Blue Sea Interpalace sits in Puerto de la Cruz, looking out over the Atlantic, and I like it as an easy, unhurried base for a week away in November.
The rooms are bathed in natural light, with wooden floors, air conditioning, a private bathroom, satellite TV and a private balcony. Some look out to sea, and for a modest supplement I can arrange a sea-view double so the ocean is the first thing you see each morning.
Days here can be as quiet or as active as you wish. There are outdoor pools, open all year, with a pool bar close by, a tennis court, a fitness centre and a garden. The restaurant has a terrace and serves international cuisine, and breakfast is included each day. Free Wi-Fi runs throughout the hotel.
When you want to explore, Teide National Park and its volcanic landscapes are around a 40-minute drive away, and the hotel's tour desk can help you plan excursions across the island.
The week I have in mind begins on 12 November 2026, with a direct Jet2 morning flight from East Midlands, arriving in Tenerife South in the early afternoon. You have seven nights by the Atlantic before a direct afternoon flight home on 19 November.
