Golf del Sur

It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to understand what the main draw is when it comes to a break in Golf del Sur on the south east coast of Tenerife.

Around 15 minutes from the airport, the resort is a fantastic place to head if you are looking to turn your HOT Holiday into a golfing break in the sun.

Should you be wanted to sample the fairways, you’ll want to do so when the sun is shining, and no matter what the time of year may be, you can expect to encounter favourable weather conditions on a trip to Golf del Sur.

Highs of 30 in the summer and lows of 18 in the winter are to be expected, with relatively little in the way of rainfall.

Although most people will head for the resort to enjoy the golf, there is a small shingle beach on which you can top up your tan, with the shallow waters being suitable for taking a refreshing dip to cool off.

The likes of El Medano and Los Cristianos aren’t far away should you want to spend more time on sandy beaches during a break from play, whilst you could sample a range of activities such as diving and snorkeling without going too far.

Coastal walks around the resort are also popular.

As well as the top class golf courses, there is a riding centre that offers the chance to head out to explore on horseback, whilst the surrounding area includes waterparks, a marina where you can book onto trips out to sea and Mount Tiede, where a cable car ride to the summit results in the chance to take in stunning views of the island.

In terms of nightlife, Golf del Sur is on the quiet side, although there are a number of restaurants where you can grab a bite to eat. On the whole however, it’s a more relaxed vibe where you can take things easy with a drink rather than dance to music to the early hours.

Should the latter appeal, then the likes of Playa de las Americas is just a short taxi ride away.
