Tenerife Carnival: experience the most colourful party of the year

Every year, between February and March, Tenerife transforms. The streets fill with music, costumes, sequins, and joy. The Tenerife Carnival, especially that of Santa Cruz, is considered one of the most important in the world, alongside Rio de Janeiro and Venice. And it is no wonder: the island immerses itself in this festival that blends tradition, creativity, humour, and passion.

From Las Casas Tenerife, we invite you to experience this unforgettable event with all the comfort of a luxury holiday villa, where you can rest between events, prepare calmly, and enjoy the island at your own pace, with the privacy and comfort that only an exclusive accommodation can offer.

A carnival with history and heart

The Tenerife Carnival has deep roots. Its origins date back to the 18th century, and over time it has evolved into an international celebration that attracts visitors from all over the world. For weeks, the island vibrates with parades, contests, galas, concerts, and cultural events.

One of the most eagerly awaited moments is the election of the Carnival Queen, a spectacle in which the candidates display costumes that can weigh up to 200 kilograms, accompanied by lights, feathers, and impressive structures.

Also noteworthy are:

• The grand apotheosis parade, the main parade through Santa Cruz.

• The inaugural parade, which opens the celebration with thousands of participants.

• The burial of the sardine, a satirical and fun act that closes the carnival.

• The murgas, groups that sing humorously about current issues.

• The popular costume dances, where everyone can participate.

Experience the carnival from your luxury home

Although the epicentre of the carnival is Santa Cruz, there are celebrations in many parts of the island: Puerto de la Cruz, Los Cristianos, Candelaria, and more. From your vacation home in Las Casas Tenerife, you can organise your visits to the most significant events while also enjoying moments of tranquillity when you need them.

Our team can assist you with:

• Private transfers to the main events.

• Rental or design of custom costumes.

• Assistance in obtaining tickets for the most popular galas.

• Organisation of themed dinners or private parties in the villa.

• Reservations at restaurants and additional activities.

That way, you can experience the carnival intensely… but in style.

Carnival for everyone: also for families

If you are travelling with children, the carnival also offers safe and fun options for them: children's parades, school contests, costume workshops, and daytime shows. And at the end of the day, you can return to your family villa in Las
