Tenerife continues to attract more holiday rental searches than any other Canary Island, with 11 municipalities featuring in the latest ranking of the archipelago’s most in-demand destinations.

The figures, published by holiday rental platform Holidu, are based on searches for stays between 4 July and 30 August 2026, once again highlighting the island’s year-round appeal.

Santa Cruz Tops the List

The two Canary Islands capitals, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and Santa Cruz de Tenerife, share the top spot as the most searched destinations.

Both cities also offer some of the best value, with a median holiday rental price of €108 per night, making them among the most affordable options in the rankings.

The study found that 11 Tenerife municipalities appear in the top 25 most popular destinations, compared with:

  • Gran Canaria: 5 municipalities

  • Fuerteventura: 4
  • La Palma: 1

The figures suggest visitors are choosing a mix of coastal resorts, cities and quieter towns across the island.
