Fly to a place of eternal spring
At first glance, a Nice-Tenerife flight looks very much like a European flight between France and Spain. However, the Canary Islands are not like other Spanish islands. They live between two continents, at the same latitude as the Sahara, surrounded by the ocean and dominated by a volcano. The Canaries are like Europe in the Tropics, a wonderful blend that will make your Nice-Tenerife direct flight the start of a unique experience: a holiday of contrasts, between a pleasant climate and a harsh natural environment, between a relaxing break and days filled with discovery.

Departure airport Nice Côte d’Azur Airport Departure terminal Terminal 2 Arrival airport Tenerife-South Airport Arriving at Tenerife Airport
Your flight will land at Tenerife South Airport, the largest and most modern airport on the island. It is situated around 60 kilometres south of Santa Cruz de Tenerife. However you choose to make this journey, it will take less than an hour to get to the centre of Tenerife’s capital. You can choose between the following options:
- The bus: shuttle bus 111 leaves towards Santa Cruz every half-hour, from 08:30 to 22:00. It costs around 10 euros per person. Other routes go directly to the main resorts on the island.
- A taxi: convenient, but not cheap! It is six times more expensive than the bus.
- Hire a car: it will be useful for exploring the island during your stay. You can reserve a car with one of the eight car hire companies in the Arrivals hall.
What to do in
Tenerife ?
The most heavily populated of the Canary Islands is also the most popular: every year, it is chosen by millions of holidaymakers. It owes this popularity to an irresistible cocktail of joie de vivre, nature and good weather. Tenerife is a breath of fresh air, a carefree land that is perfect if you need to relax and let go. The tourists don’t come here for fantastic museums or amazing monuments, but to get up close with the plants and animals, the beautiful landscapes, and the welcoming locals who love a party. Their simple charm really shines at meal times, when you can feast on their modest yet delicious cuisine.

Whatever your age and whoever you’re with, whether you come as a family, with young children, as a couple or with friends, you’re sure to find your place in this paradise if you’re willing to make the most of what it has to offer: relaxation and authenticity.
As on all the islands, life on the largest of the Canaries revolves around the sea. It offers kilometres of beaches where you can relax and work on your tan, then take a dip in the water when the sun gets too much. The Atlantic wind and waves are also perfect for surfing or kitesurfing. There are around 40 different spots all around the coast. However, the Atlantic is not just a playground: it is also a spectacle, where you can marvel at sea mammals such as dolphins and blue whales just a few miles from the coast.
Back on dry land, there are just as many options to enjoy. The natural landscape offers countless walking options for all levels, as well as picture postcard scenery. The must? Climb to the top of Mount Teide, the third highest volcano in the world. This authentic moment of serenity and beauty will leave you refreshed and ready to enjoy some of the best times of your life, celebrating in the streets of Santa Cruz when the carnival is in full swing, dancing in nightclubs, or braving some thrilling water slides. Simple pleasures, but great fun.
