A full week in Tenerife, all-inclusive, seafront, volcanic mountains in the background, for $790 round trip from New York. I'm not gatekeeping this one.

Tenerife is Spain's most-visited island for a reason. Year-round sunshine, black sand beaches, the Teide volcano looming over everything, and a vibe that feels equal parts European cool and tropical escape. August is peak season, which usually means peak prices. Except we found a window that doesn't play by those rules.

The flight: JFK to Tenerife, August 18–25. $790 round trip

Air Europa has a round trip from JFK to Tenerife North (TFN) departing August 18 and returning August 25 for $790 total. Taxes and fees included. One stop each way, total travel time around 14 hours. It's not a direct flight, but $790 to Europe in August? You're not going to find that sitting around.

The hotel: H10 Tenerife Playa, from $128/night, all-inclusive

The rooms are fine, and honestly that’s all you need them to be. You’re dropping your bag and leaving. Slightly dated, totally clean, and completely irrelevant to why you’re there.

What you’re actually paying for is everything outside that room. Breakfast on the terrace with the Atlantic in front of you, two pools to pick from (one of them heated, so you’re in the water before the sun’s even properly up), and the all-inclusive thing kicking in so hard that you genuinely stop doing the mental math on everything. That feeling alone is worth the trip.

Two minutes from the front door is Lago Martianez. Cesar Manrique designed it in the 70s. Seawater pools cut into volcanic rock right on the Atlantic, and it looks completely unreal in person. Like someone decided a lava field needed a pool bar and nobody told them to stop. You don’t have to seek it out. You just walk out and it’s there.

Puerto de la Cruz is walkable in a way that tourist towns usually aren’t. Old town, actual restaurants, a black volcanic beach. You won’t need a car once. TripAdvisor gives it a 95 walkability score and honestly, accurate.

This is the north side of the island. Older, quieter, more local than the south. If Tenerife always felt like a package holiday destination to you, this part will change your mind.

Seven nights at $128 = $896 for the hotel. Add your $790 flight. That’s a $1,686 all-inclusive week in Tenerife, Spain. In August.

How to book it

Step 1: Lock in the flight first. Search JFK → Tenerife (TFN or TFS) on Google Flights for August 18–25. Air Europa is showing $790 right now. Prices on this route move fast in summer, so don't sit on it.

Step 2: Book the H10 Tenerife Playa directly through H10’s site for the lowest rate. Use promo code H10ESCAPE at checkout for an additional discount on select dates. The hotel books out fast in August, so secure your room the same day you book your flight.

Step 3: Pack light. Tenerife averages 80°F in August, the hotel has pools and a spa, and everything you need is covered under your all-inclusive rate. This is a carry-on trip.

What to actually do when you get there

Tenerife isn't just a beach sit. The island has real things to do: hiking Teide National Park (a UNESCO World Heritage Site and Spain's highest peak), whale and dolphin watching in the Atlantic, wine tasting in the Orotava Valley, and one of the best food scenes in the Canary Islands. Puerto de la Cruz, where your hotel sits, is also home to Loro Parque, one of Europe's top-rated zoos and aquariums.
