If you’re just trying to escape the weather and stare at the sea for a bit, four or five days are fine. You’ll get a couple of beach or pool days, one day up at Teide, and maybe a wander around a town without feeling rushed.
If you’re the sort who wants to actually see the island, I’d say a week is the sweet spot. You’ll have slack for a slow morning after a late dinner.
