Northern Tenerife

Volcanic coast of El Sauzal with Mount Teide and the Atlantic
The island on your doorstep

Northern Tenerife, wild and wonderfully close.

From green coastal hillsides to colourful historic towns and volcanic landscapes above the clouds—Villa Larnia is a peaceful base for discovering the island’s most authentic side.

El Sauzal and the green north coast of Tenerife above the Atlantic
Explore at your own pace

Between the Atlantic and the mountains.

El Sauzal lies above Tenerife’s rugged north coast, ideally placed for days in La Laguna and Puerto de la Cruz, walks through Anaga’s ancient laurel forest and unforgettable excursions to Mount Teide.

The north moves at a gentler rhythm. Follow quiet coastal paths, pause at dramatic viewpoints, wander through colourful Canarian streets or discover small restaurants where local produce and island wines take centre stage.

We are always happy to share personal recommendations—from favourite routes and black-sand beaches to places that are easy to miss when you do not know the island.

Five places to begin
