Christmas & New Year in Tenerife: Sun, Sea and Celebration

Your holiday begins at your UK airport, where you’ll meet the Limitless Team and your fellow guests at the special assistance desk.

The Limitless Team will accompany you through the airport, working alongside the airport’s special assistance team, providing additional support and advocating on your behalf. We’re with you every step of the way – as you pass through security, head to the departure gate, board the aircraft, and during the flight.

As you touch down in Tenerife, you’ll get your first taste of the island’s wonderful climate. Gone are the grey skies – here it’s year-round sun, palm-lined promenades and beautiful beaches.

On arrival, we’ll support you through the airport and onto our private accessible transfer, which will be waiting to take you to Mar y Sol Hotel. After helping you check in and settle comfortably into your room, we’ll come together for our first evening meal. It’s a chance to get to know the group, relax after the journey and enjoy the excitement of your first evening on holiday.

Your first full day in Tenerife is an opportunity to unwind, take it easy and enjoy that wonderfully relaxed holiday feeling.

Hotel Mar y Sol features two hoist-equipped swimming pools, so you have a comfortable and inclusive means of entering the water. The Limitless Team is always on hand to provide practical assistance and encouragement, ensuring everyone who wants to swim can.

Whether you need help changing, getting to the pool, entering and leaving the water, or support while swimming, we’ll work to meet your individual needs. There’s no pressure to swim either. If you prefer to relax poolside with a book or start on that tan, you’re welcome to do so.

In the evening, the hotel will serve a special Christmas Eve meal. It’s the perfect way to prepare for the big day, as you’ll tuck into great food, get to know your fellow Limitless Travellers and enjoy a wonderfully festive atmosphere.

Merry Christmas! Today, we’re putting a Tenerife twist on a real cracker of a Christmas Day. Following a relaxed breakfast, we’ll stroll or roll along the Los Cristianos beachfront, taking in the gorgeous morning view, enjoying the warming winter sun and working up an appetite. When we return to Mar y Sol, it’s time to get festive and kick off our traditional Christmas Day dinner.

In addition to a delightful meal, there’s Christmas entertainment, holiday games, and even a gift from the Limitless Team for each of our guests. Celebrating in the sun really brings home the difference warm weather makes, and we’re sure you’ll have a fantastic time alongside your fellow Limitless Travellers.

On Boxing Day, we’ll take it easy and recover from all of yesterday’s excess by heading to the local accessible beach. Located a short distance from the hotel, this beautiful stretch of coast features wheelchair-accessible decking and assisted bathing services, so you can cool off in the temperate waters or relax and top up your tan on the sand.

The Limitless Team will be on hand to support you throughout the day and can help you enter the water and enjoy a dip in the calm Atlantic Ocean. Of course, there’s no pressure to go for a swim, and the day is yours to spend exactly as you please.

​As evening draws in, we’ll enjoy dinner together, followed by excellent entertainment for anyone who wants to continue the celebrations.

Tenerife is famous for its turquoise waters and astounding marine wildlife. Today, you can experience both with a spectacular accessible boat trip. On the water, there’s a good chance we’ll see dolphins, turtles, and maybe even pilot whales.

As we head further out, we’ll gain a unique perspective on the island and enjoy striking views of the coast and towering Mt Teide. On our way back to shore, the boat will detour to a series of secret caves for a fascinating glimpse of Tenerife’s hidden coastline.

For lunch, we’ve booked an Italian restaurant that will have all you spaghetti fans licking your lips. Then, in the afternoon, you can choose to stay on the beach or head back to the hotel for a dip in the accessible pool. Whatever your decision, the Limitless Team will be on hand to support and assist you at all times.

Today, Tenerife’s natural beauty takes centre stage. We have a range of extra excursions and activities available and would be happy to help arrange and book an accessible day out. Have you always dreamed of dolphin spotting? Want to get up close to one of the ocean’s most majestic creatures on a whale-watching experience? How about accessible paragliding?

While these excursions are not included in the price of your holiday, our relationship with the providers means we can offer them at a competitive cost. All the excursions have been tried and tested by the Limitless Travel team to ensure they are suitable for our holidaymakers, and the tour team will be present to offer any support and assistance you need.

If an excursion isn’t for you, you have Los Cristianos close by, the accessible pools just moments from your room, and the Limitless Team at your disposal.

As we are heading to an authentic flamenco performance in the evening, today is a chance to relax, unwind and enjoy the hotel facilities. Alternatively, why not head into Los Cristianos for a morning coffee overlooking the sea?

​With spine-tingling singing, lightning-fast guitar work and unique Iberian rhythms, Flamenco is one of Spain’s most iconic art forms. Originating in Andalusia, it blends Arabic, Spanish, and Gitano influences and encompasses song, dance, footwork, and complex clapping patterns. The result is a unique musical system with a strong sense of tradition and a raw emotional punch.

​The Canary Islands boast a strong flamenco tradition, with plenty of mainland Spain’s biggest names travelling to Tenerife’s famous venues. To experience this magical art, we’ll head to the island’s most authentic flamenco show for a thrilling performance. By the end, we expect you to know your alegrías from your bulerías and to have mastered those quick-fire flamenco clapping rhythms!

With its spectacular coastal pools, beautiful boardwalk and traditional restaurants, Puerto de la Cruz is one of Tenerife’s most charming towns. Located on the island’s north coast, its laid-back atmosphere means it is a real pleasure to explore, and its multicultural feel is epitomised by the town’s famous German bakeries, which produce a variety of fantastic sweet treats.

​Puerto De La Cruz is also home to plenty of historic sites and cultural landmarks. History buffs will love the Casa de la Aduana, La Peña de Francia church, and the Marquesa Hotel, while nature lovers can get all green-fingered in the botanical gardens. Of course, you can also find a restaurant and tuck into the local tapas, or watch the world go by with a refreshing beverage in a peaceful plaza.

In the evening, we’ll return to the hotel for dinner, followed by evening entertainment organised by the Limitless Team.

Today, we welcome the New Year in style, with an evening of fun-filled celebrations. So the day is yours to prepare as you please. Sunbathe by the pool, get stuck into your holiday reading on the beach, or take a stroll into town – whatever helps you feel well-rested and ready to enjoy the final hours of the year.

It’s a special night, so we’ve arranged a mouthwatering meal and evening entertainment. As the clock strikes midnight, we’ll usher in the New Year with a classic Spanish tradition – the twelve grapes. With each stroke of the clock, pop a grape in your mouth and see if you can make it all the way to twelve without any bursting. There will be music, dancing and a lot of laughter, so we hope you’re ready for a bit of a party.

Happy New Year! Following last night’s celebrations, we won’t be rushing anywhere. It’s a day to kick back and begin the year as you mean to carry on – happy, relaxed and surrounded by good people. A cooling dip in the accessible pool is sure to leave you refreshed and ready for the day, while a little sunbathing will make sure your tan’s in tip-top condition before you head home.

If there’s anything you would like to spend your last full day on the island doing, please talk to your Tour Manager in advance. There’s a wide range of optional excursions and activities available, and we would be happy to help arrange them on your behalf.

In the evening, the group will get together for our final dinner, share our holiday best bits, and enjoy one last night of cracking company.

After breakfast, we’ll help you prepare for the journey home and make sure you and your mobility equipment are ready for departure.

Our accessible transfer will take the group back to Tenerife Airport, where the Limitless Team will accompany guests travelling on the designated group flight. We’ll work alongside the airport’s special assistance team and provide support as you make your way through the airport and board the flight home.

You may be leaving Tenerife behind, but you’ll return with far more than a suntan. You’ll have new experiences, friendships and memories to see you through the rest of winter.
