If you’re looking for the “Goldilocks” month of the year—not too hot, not too cold, and just the right amount of buzz—March in Tenerife is your answer. It is the month where the island fully shakes off its winter coat and the spring blossoms take over. For an all-inclusive holiday, March is a strategic masterpiece. You beat the intense heat of the summer, bypass the chaos of the summer holidays, and enjoy some of the best hiking and outdoor weather on the planet.
The Sweet Spot of Spring March is a “shoulder season” month, which in travel-speak means bargains. Because the February Carnival crowds have headed home and the Easter families haven’t arrived yet (depending on when Easter falls—in 2026, Easter Sunday is April 5th, so March is gloriously quiet!), you can snag a 5-star resort for a 4-star price.
The weather is consistently balmy, typically hovering between 22°C and 25°C, making it perfect for those who want a tan without the “melting” feeling of August.
The “Zen” Seekers: People who want to enjoy the luxury of a resort like Royal Hideaway Corales or Iberostar Selection Anthelia without having to fight for a sunlounger.
Nature Lovers & Hikers: March is the peak time for the Almond Blossom in the hills of Santiago del Teide. The landscape is green, lush, and alive with flowers—ideal for those who want to do more than just sit by the pool.
Golfers: With the “Eternal Spring” weather at its most reliable, March is prime time for the fairways of Golf del Sur or Abama.
Spring Horticulture: Many of the high-end all-inclusive resorts (like Botanico & The Oriental Spa Garden) have award-winning subtropical gardens. In March, these are in full bloom, making your “included” afternoon walk through the hotel grounds a total sensory delight.
Outdoor Dining Begins in Earnest: While January and February can be a bit nippy in the evenings, March is when “Al Fresco” really kicks off. Most all-inclusive resorts will begin hosting their themed outdoor buffet nights under the stars.
Perfect Excursion Weather: It’s the best month to visit Loro Parque or Siam Park. The queues are significantly shorter than in summer, and the temperature is comfortable enough to spend the whole day walking around without overheating.
Top Tip: If you’re a fan of local culture, keep an eye out for the Canarias Folk Fest Arona, which often runs through March. It’s a great way to see traditional dancing and hear Canarian music while enjoying a “pre-dinner” drink in the town plaza.
The “Easter Gap”: In 2026, Easter is early April. This makes the first three weeks of March the ultimate time for a bargain. Once the school holidays kick in at the end of the month, prices will jump by 30-40%.
Fly Mid-Week: Flights from the UK to Tenerife in March are plentiful. Choosing a Tuesday or Wednesday departure can save you £100 compared to a Saturday flight.
Look at the “Adults-Only” Options: Since March is outside the main family holiday window, many adults-only resorts offer “shoulder season” discounts to fill their rooms before the spring rush.
Stargazing on Teide: The clear spring nights offer some of the best visibility for the Milky Way. Many all-inclusive packages can arrange a “Sunset and Stars” excursion—it’s a bucket-list experience.
Whale & Dolphin Watching: March is a fantastic time to see the resident pilot whales. The sea is usually calmer than in the winter months, making the boat trips from Puerto Colón much smoother.
Explore the Anaga Forest: Head to the North-East for the “Enchanted Forest.” In March, the laurel trees are shrouded in a mystical mist that makes for incredible photos.
For the best price: The second week of March. For the best weather: Late March, as the temperatures start to nudge closer to 26°C.
Direct flights leave from all major UK hubs (London, Manchester, Birmingham, Glasgow, etc.). The flight is a comfortable 4.5 hours, and because it’s March, the airports are generally stress-free.
