As summer winds to a close and we enter fall, there are plenty of people who are considering an off-season getaway for many reasons. It might be that they just didn’t get around to a summer vacation, or because prices begin to get lower, or to avail of the thinning out of crowds in tourist destinations, or, importantly, to avoid the soaring temperatures of the hotter months. However, if you are looking for a destination where the sizzling heat of the summer will dissipate but the weather will remain pleasant enough for days at the beach then consider our villas in the Canary Islands.

Beloved of British, Irish, and German tourists, the Canary Islands are a Spanish territory but are located off the coast of northern Africa and, therefore, boast much warmer autumn months than much of the rest of Europe. Those looking to enjoy a little bit of autumn sun will find that a vacation rental in the Canary Islands and time in this part of the world is just the thing.

The Canary Islands are a famous destination for both sun holidays in the summer and off-season sunny breaks in spring and autumn. If one books a vacation rental in the Canary Islands for the summer months, they get to make the most of the famously picture-perfect beaches of the islands in their most ideal conditions, when the sun is strong and the waters as warm as you can expect throughout the entire year. However, those who come for an off-season break will be able to enjoy these same strands without having to compete for space and in comparative peace and quiet.

Earlier or later in the year, it might be still too chilly for some to brave the waters but there will certainly be weeks in both seasons where you can expect summer-like conditions. So, almost year-round, the beaches of the Canary Islands have something to offer – it just depends on your personal preferences. 

Having the best, most beautiful, and most famous beaches almost all to yourself is a great selling point for these off-season holidays, though, and some beaches are really best enjoyed when the tourist crowds are but a distant memory. Those who book a vacation rental in Gran Canaria, for example, and come to enjoy the Playa de Maspalomas will certainly find this to be the case.

European summer describes, of course, summer in Europe but it is also a trend online that specifically indicates dreamlike summer vacations in truly stunning European locations that are full of character and totally dripping in style. If you missed out on European summer, however, but still want to enjoy a chic break with a relaxed atmosphere and in a beyond picturesque setting, then why not enjoy European fall?

There are a few destinations in Europe where you can still enjoy dips in the water and sunny days for the next few weeks, all while avoiding crowded beaches, lines queues for restaurants, and people bustling past you to take photos – sounds like the best of both worlds to us! So, enjoy all the glamour and relaxation of Europe... but do it this autumn...

For those looking to enjoy a proper beach holiday full of sun and fun and easy access to the strand, then Gran Canaria is an ideal destination and our villa, Chalet Golden Sahara, is an unbeatable villa in Gran Canaria. Nestled in a central and sun-kissed location, just 300 meters from the sea and the inviting beach, right in the heart of Playa del Inglés, it couldn’t be better positioned. However, that’s not where its charms and amenities end! In addition to being in the ideal spot, Chalet Golden Sahara boasts a private pool, charming garden, all the mod-cons that you could ask for, and interiors that are soothing and pretty. Enjoy a relaxing getaway in this modern oasis by the sea and have easy access to the attractions of this beautiful part of the beloved Canary Islands.
