All-Inclusive Thanksgiving Weekend on the Canary Islands

Part of Spain, but located off the coast of Morocco and with average daily temperatures in the 70’s in late November, the Canary Islands are a perfect escape from German winter weather. Your 4 star hotel in Costa Adeje has 6 pools, Mini and Teen clubs, a gym, tennis courts and more, while a professional animation team will keep you entertained day and night. The hotel’s all-inclusive package will keep you fully fueled this Thanksgiving Weekend. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks and most beverages are part of your package. 

If you venture outside the hotel complex, you will find yourself in the heart of one of Tenerife’s most lively resort cities and less than 550 meters from Fañabé Beach. Flying the prestigious Blue Flag and featuring gentle waves and amenities for all ages, Fañabé Beach is protected by breakwaters and has an extensive promenade full of shops, restaurants and bars. Costa Adeje has countless activities ranging from Whale and Dolphin watching cruises to visits to Tenerife’s volcanic peak and is the place to be for waterpark enthusiasts. The World Famous Siam Park which won the Trip Advisor Award for “Best Waterpark in the World” 9 times in a row before claiming the title for “Best Amusement Park in the World” in 2023, is less than 3 kilometers away from your hotel.

Estimated Itinerary

Wednesday: Check in

Theres no need to pay for parking at the airport or take an expensive airport shuttle to Frankfurt when you fly with Army Outdoor Recreation. Our included airport shuttle will pick you up at your choice of either Pulaski or Smith barracks and take you directly to Frankfurt Airport. This afternoon you will find yourself on Tenerife, the largest of the Canary Islands, where you will check into a four star hotel in the beach zone. Put away your parka! You wont need it at all this Thanksgiving Weekend. The Canary Islands, part of Spain, but located off the west coast of Morocco, have average daily temperatures in the 70’s, even at the end of November.

Thursday: Free Day

This entire weekend is dedicated to your free time and Costa Adeje has plenty of ways to fill that time. Your hotel’s all-inclusive package means you wont have to worry about meals. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks and even most beverages are included with your stay. The hotel has a modern design, having 6 pools, a Mini Club, a Teens Club and game room.  A gym, tennis courts, ping-pong tables and other activities will entertain you, and that’s just on the hotel property. When you exit the property you are only a short walk through the pedestrianized beachfront which is positively packed with restaurants, bars and shopping to the 600 meter long, sunset facing Fañabé Beach. 

Friday: Free Day

Costa Adeje is where the excitement is happening on Tenerife, both on the land and on the water. From Costa Adeje, numerous boat tours and excursions set sail, ranging from relaxed whale and dolphin watching, sightseeing cruises and sunset sea rides to more active pursuits including snorkeling and SCUBA diving. Adrenaline junkies will be sure to want to go paragliding, rent a jet-ski or ride in a jet boat. Even though autumn is underway, the November water temperatures around the island of Tenerife average a pleasant 70 degrees in the winter months. 

Saturday: Free Day

If you would rather spend Thanksgiving Weekend on dry land, Tenerife has plenty of activities to keep you entertained during your free days. Tenerife is a volcanic island with many ways to get to the amazing views from the peak of Mount Teide at the island’s center. Take the cable car to the summit or a van trip into the national park by day to investigate the local plant and animal life, or get away from the city lights on a sunset and stargazing tour far up the mountainside. The world famous Siam Park is just 3 kilometers from your hotel.  This waterpark has won multiple awards and set world records with its innovative and groundbreaking aqua-attractions, including the Tripadvisor Traveller’s Choice Award for “Best Waterpark in the World” every year from 2014 through 2022.
