The Canary Islands are one of the most sought-after hotel internship destinations for hospitality and tourism students across Europe. Year-round activity, international hotel standards, accommodation often provided, and full Erasmus+ compatibility — the Canaries offer a unique combination of professional experience and accessible conditions. PIC Management has been placing trainees in 3★ to 5★ hotels in Tenerife, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote and Fuerteventura for over 20 years.
Why choose the Canary Islands for your hotel internship?
The Canaries have a decisive advantage over other Mediterranean destinations: they operate 12 months a year. Even in November, December or January, hotels are fully booked with European guests seeking sunshine. For a 2-month internship, this means:
- Placements available year-round, including off-peak periods in your home country
- Real operational activity at every department (reception, F&B, housekeeping, spa)
- Immediate immersion in an international professional environment
- One of Europe's densest networks of all-inclusive and semi all-inclusive resort hotels
Key destinations in the Canary Islands
Tenerife
Tenerife is the most visited island in the Canaries, with a concentration of 4 and 5-star hotels in the south (Playa de las Américas, Los Cristianos, Costa Adeje). Hotels here are typically large resorts with international teams — ideal for discovering the standards of premium mass tourism.
Gran Canaria
Gran Canaria offers remarkable variety: from Maspalomas beach resorts to boutique hotels in the centre of Las Palmas. The island has a diverse hotel landscape particularly strong for F&B internships, with many high-quality restaurants integrated into resort complexes.
Lanzarote and Fuerteventura
These two islands offer charming hotels in unspoilt settings with a premium clientele. Hotels tend to be smaller than on Tenerife, but intern supervision is often more personalised — a real advantage for a 2-month placement.

Canary Islands internships and Erasmus+
Spain is a founding member of the European Union. Internships we organise in the Canary Islands are fully compatible with the Erasmus+ programme and its mobility grants. If your institution holds an Erasmus+ charter, students can receive between €400 and €600 per month in individual grants — on top of accommodation provided by the hotel. This is one of the most financially advantageous combinations available for a 2-month European hotel internship.
