Responsible Travel on Two Magical Islands
May is the perfect time to discover the Canary Islands from a more mindful and local perspective. At MYND Hotels, we’ve curated five experiences that will connect you with nature, culture and sustainability — all while enjoying the unique magic of Lanzarote and Tenerife in a conscious and respectful way.
Hiking in Anaga, Tenerife
The Anaga Rural Park is one of Tenerife’s most breathtaking and best-preserved natural areas. Its walking trails cater to all levels, weaving through ancient laurel forests and offering panoramic views. It’s an ideal way to connect with nature while caring for the environment — a mix of vertiginous viewpoints, enchanted woodlands, and mythical landscapes that feel straight out of a legend. Every corner holds a touch of magic.
Visiting Teide National Park, Tenerife
In May, Mount Teide bursts into life with spring colours and blooming endemic flora. Join guided tours or enjoy a solo walk, always staying on marked paths to help protect this delicate volcanic ecosystem.
Did you know that Teide is not only Spain’s highest peak at 3,715 metres, but if measured from its base on the ocean floor, it would be the third highest volcano in the world? It trails only Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa in Hawaii — meaning most of Teide lies hidden beneath the sea.

A Sustainable Visit to the Botanical Garden in Puerto de la Cruz, Tenerife
Wander through a remarkable collection of native and exotic flora at the historic Botanical Garden in Puerto de la Cruz. This serene haven supports plant conservation and offers a tranquil space to stroll, reflect and discover the rich biodiversity of the Canary Islands. The perfect plan to unwind, recharge, and reconnect.
A Cultural Route of César Manrique in Lanzarote
Experience Lanzarote through the artistic and architectural legacy of César Manrique — a visionary who championed sustainability and the harmony between art, culture and nature. Visit iconic sites such as Jameos del Agua and the Cactus Garden, where natural beauty and environmental respect come together in perfect balance.
Exploring La Geria, Lanzarote
Imagine vineyards flourishing on volcanic soil. That’s La Geria — a unique wine region where vines are sheltered by half-moon stone walls made of volcanic rock. Discover eco-friendly, sustainable wineries that embrace agricultural practices in harmony with the land. Raise a glass of local wine amidst this otherworldly landscape — a truly unforgettable experience for wine lovers.

This May, treat yourself to a different kind of holiday.
