Stays in Golf del Sur
1 property
Golf del Sur is a purpose-built golf and residential resort in San Miguel de Abona, on Tenerife's south-east coast, about 8 km (typically 13–16 minutes by car) from Tenerife South airport (TFS). It suits golfers, couples after winter sun, long stays and anyone with an early or late flight. Expect low-rise villas around the fairways and a rocky coastline rather than a sandy beach.

Who is Golf del Sur best for?
Golf del Sur is best for golfers and for people who want a quiet base close to the airport. Two courses sit on the doorstep and the streets are residential rather than busy. For nightlife, sand on your doorstep or a car-free holiday, Los Cristianos or Playa de las Américas suit better.
Which golf courses are in Golf del Sur?
Two clubs are in the resort: Golf del Sur and Amarilla Golf & Country Club. Golf del Sur has been open since 1987 and its current layout is credited to Manuel Piñero, with an academy, pro shop and restaurant. Amarilla Golf is an 18-hole course by the sea designed by Donald Steel, bordering the Marina San Miguel, and it also has a pitch-and-putt course and an academy.
Green fees change by season and time of day, so check the clubs' own websites before you book a tee time.
Is there a beach in Golf del Sur?
Golf del Sur has no large sandy beach; the coastline is volcanic rock with small coves. The nearest big sand beaches are Playa de la Tejita (about 8 km, typically 15–19 minutes) and Playa de El Médano (about 13 km, typically 17–21 minutes). Instead, a seafront path heads east past San Blas towards Los Abrigos.
Where to eat near Golf del Sur
Los Abrigos is the best-known place to eat nearby, about 4 km (typically 9–11 minutes) by car. It is a small working fishing village in the neighbouring municipality of Granadilla de Abona, and its harbour front is lined with seafood restaurants. Marina San Miguel, about 3 km away, has cafés and bars.
