the Canary Islands 2026

Volcanic landscapes, 300 days of sun, and three of Europe's finest multisport resorts. The Canary Islands are the ultimate European cycling base.

Why the Canary Islands for Cycling?

No European destination matches the Canary Islands for winter cycling. Lanzarote and Fuerteventura offer 300+ training days per year, empty roads, and terrain ranging from flat coastal routes to challenging volcanic climbs. Professional cycling teams have been training here since the 1980s. The three best cycling hotels — Club La Santa, Barceló Lanzarote, and Playitas Resort — all have professional cycling centres within their grounds.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the best cycling hotels in the Canary Islands?
Club La Santa (Lanzarote), Barceló Lanzarote Active Resort (Lanzarote), and Playitas Resort (Fuerteventura) are the top three. All offer professional cycling centres, smart turbo trainers, and access to iconic volcanic cycling routes.
Is Lanzarote or Tenerife better for cycling?
Lanzarote is better for flat and rolling endurance riding, with the iconic Timanfaya volcano loop. Tenerife offers more climbing, especially around Mount Teide (3,715m), and is favoured by cyclists seeking altitude training. For triathlon-specific cycling, Lanzarote and Fuerteventura win.
Can I bring my carbon road bike to the Canary Islands?
Yes. All the hotels in this guide have secure, climate-controlled bike storage, workshops with professional tools, and can arrange bike transport. Check airline bike policies — most charge €30–60 per flight for a boxed bike.
