Santa Úrsula is located on the northern coast of the island of Tenerife, one of the seven main islands that form the Canary Islands, a Spanish archipelago off the coast of Morocco. The town is perched on the slopes of the island’s central mountain range, providing elevated views of the Atlantic Ocean and the impressive Mount Teide, the highest peak in Spain. It is a short drive away from popular cities like Puerto de la Cruz (about 10 km) and Santa Cruz de Tenerife (the island’s capital, roughly 30 km away).
The region enjoys a mild, subtropical climate year-round, with temperatures averaging between 18°C (64°F) in the winter and 24°C (75°F) in the summer. Its northern location on the island means that Santa Úrsula experiences more greenery and less dryness than the southern areas of Tenerife, making it an attractive location for nature lovers. The best times to visit are between April and October, though the pleasant weather makes it a year-round destination.
The town is close to several beaches and nature parks, including La Orotava Valley, known for its fertile landscapes, and nearby coastal cliffs that offer hiking opportunities. These natural surroundings create a perfect environment for outdoor activities, retreats, and eco-friendly events.
