A veritable natural paradise, the Canary archipelago abounds in hidden treasures, such as its natural pools, masterpieces of nature sculpted by volcanic activity and the ocean. Another idea of bathing...

THE CANARY ISLANDS, A BATHERS' PARADISE

A popular destination for tourists seeking sun and relaxation, the Canary archipelago offers much more than golden, white or black sand beaches. Among its most precious treasures are a multitude of natural pools, like hidden gems along the Canary coast. Much more than just places to swim, these peaceful havens are unique places to admire the raw beauty of the Canarian landscape. Or how to experience unforgettable moments of relaxation and tranquillity facing the immensity of the ocean! Las Salinas de Agaete, on the island of Gran Canaria, is particularly accessible and well-equipped, with three interconnected pools of calm, crystal-clear water, ideal for families. Bonus? A breathtaking view of the island of Tenerife from the sunbathing deck! In Tenerife, El Caletón de Garachico offers a unique experience with its natural pools, created by the volcanic eruption of 1706 and dominated by the medieval castle of San Miguel. As well as offering a refreshing alternative to traditional beaches, this singular spot offers an immersion in the archipelago's geological history. A memorable moment in the heart of breathtaking volcanic landscapes!

WELL-KEPT SECRETS

Far off the beaten track and away from mass tourism, the Canaries have a number of little-known natural pools offering visitors unique bathing experiences. On the island of El Hierro, for example, the Charco Manso invites you to immerse yourself peacefully in transparent waters. Not far away, the Pozo de las Calcosas is a picturesque group of small natural pools, lined with traditional stone houses that give them a charm all of their own. The island of La Gomera also has some surprises in store for intrepid explorers. Its rugged coastline conceals secluded, intimate natural pools for exclusive bathing. Lovers of unexpected discoveries, don't hesitate to venture along its steep coastline in search of these hidden gems! Finally, La Graciosa, the archipelago's smallest inhabited island, jealously guards its secrets. Its deserted beaches and secluded coves are home to natural pools so rarely visited that the lucky ones who know about them still enjoy a little bathing in perfect symbiosis with untouched nature. The raw beauty of the Canaries never ceases to amaze those who venture there. But hush, we haven't told you...

LET THE SHOW BEGIN!

All that nature has to offer is embodied in the Canary Islands. Just open your eyes and you'll be stunned by the unspoilt natural spectacle of the Charco Azul on the island of El Hierro. Nestled in a volcanic cave, this natural pool with its turquoise waters creates a spectacular contrast with the black rock that surrounds it. An almost unreal setting, making it one of the gems of the Canaries' smallest island! In Fuerteventura, Aguas Verdes is well worth a visit. These natural pools of crystal-clear water stretch along six kilometers of rocky coastline in an almost lunar landscape. A unique visual spectacle immersed in the island's volcanic rock formations! On La Palma, La Fajana impresses with its set of three natural pools surrounded by spectacular volcanic cliffs, offering the island's finest ocean views. Finally, in Tenerife, El Charco de La Laja is a veritable natural Jacuzzi 20 metres in diameter. An exceptional bathing spot, its limpid waters are naturally agitated by the swirling waves that crash against the surrounding rocks, creating hundreds of thousands of bubbles. A moment of intense relaxation, always in perfect harmony with the wild nature of the archipelago!
