The golf is yours.
Everyone else is covered too.

Tenerife is one of the few places a golfer, a partner, teenagers and grandparents can all have a genuinely good week.

The golf is yours.
Everyone else is covered too.

My son has been coming to Tenerife since he was a baby. He's eight now, and he knows exactly which waterslide at Siam Park is the best one. That's the kind of knowledge you don't get from a brochure.

Not everyone in your group plays golf, and they shouldn't have to spend the week waiting for you to finish the back nine. Tenerife is one of the few places where the golfer, the partner who's never held a club, the teenagers and the grandparents can all have a genuinely good week — without ever having to compromise on each other.

And because the island is comfortable all year, it works just as well for February half-term as it does for the long summer holidays.

The big days out.

Tenerife has four major attractions, and they pair up. Which pair you want depends entirely on the age of your children — and getting that right is the difference between a brilliant day and an expensive one.

Siam Park & Loro Parque — the big pairing
Siam Park is consistently voted the best waterpark in the world, and it is about fifteen minutes from the main golf. It twins with Loro Parque in the north, which has been ranked the best zoo in the world. Combined tickets are the sensible way to do both. Best for older children, teenagers and adults who want the headline experiences.
Aqualand & Jungle Park — the gentler pairing
Less well known, and the better choice if you are travelling with smaller children. Aqualand is calmer than Siam Park, and Jungle Park is more manageable than Loro Parque in a single day. We have done both with a young family — and if your kids are little, this is the pairing we would send you to.
Teide National Park
A UNESCO World Heritage site and a live volcano. The cable car climbs to 3,500m. Go up by dune buggy for sunset if you want the version nobody forgets — the light coming off the volcanic rock at that hour is genuinely something.

And then the island itself.

The parks are the obvious bit. This is the part most visitors miss entirely.

Whale & dolphin watching
Pilot whales live off the south coast year-round, which makes this one of the most reliable places in the world to see them. A private charter beats the crowded boats by a distance.
Stargazing on Teide
One of the finest places on earth to look up. Guided tours run year-round, and the night skies are extraordinary.
Beaches & water sports
Black volcanic sand and golden beaches. Surfing, paddleboarding, jet skis — arranged and ready for when you land.
The real island
Hidden fishing villages, volcanic-soil wines that taste like nothing else, proper local restaurants tourists rarely find, and the greener, wilder north most visitors never see.
Spa days
The island's best spas, booked in advance for whoever fancies a slower morning.

Make it two weeks.

This is where a good trip becomes a great one — and it is the part almost nobody thinks of.

Add a Canary Islands cruise
Most Canary cruises sail from and return to Santa Cruz, right here on Tenerife. So you play golf for a week, walk onto a ship, spend seven days seeing Lanzarote, Gran Canaria, La Palma and the rest, and fly home from the island you started on. One flight, two holidays.

A straight answer on what these are: the round-trip lines are the mainstream ones — Marella, P&O, Costa. Not luxury, and I will not pretend otherwise. But for a family who want to see every island without booking another flight, they are superb value and genuinely good fun. If you want something properly high-end, say so and we will talk — it usually means flying home from somewhere else, and that is a different trip.
Dune buggies up the volcano
Convoy up through the pine forest and onto the volcanic landscape, ideally timed for sunset. The teenagers will talk about it for months.
Private yacht charter
The coast by sea, sundowners included, skipper and crew arranged. A very good way to spend the day everyone else is on the course.
La Gomera by ferry
Forty minutes across the water, and a completely different island — plus another 18 holes if the golfers fancy it.

A sample multi-generational day.

One family, one villa, four different ideas of a good day — and nobody compromising.

8:00am · Breakfast together at the villa
Everyone in one place before the day splits.
9:30am · Golfers depart
Tee times pre-booked. Transfer already outside.
9:30am · Everyone else to Siam Park
Private transfer, tickets already sorted.
1:00pm · Clubhouse lunch
Reserved, overlooking the eighteenth.
4:30pm · Everyone back at the villa
Pool, cold drink, comparing notes.
7:30pm · Private chef on the terrace
Nobody cooking, nobody driving, nobody negotiating with a restaurant about a table for eleven.

Tell us what you're thinking.
We'll take it from there.

No forms to wrestle with, no pressure. Just a conversation with someone who knows the island.
