Grand Muthu Golf Plaza Hotel & Spa

At Grand Muthu Golf Plaza Hotel & Spa in Golf del Sur, golf shapes the day without dictating every hour. Amarilla Golf Club sits immediately beside the resort, while Golf del Sur is around five minutes away, giving you two established Tenerife courses within easy reach. The five-star hotel has 174 apartments, each with a balcony or terrace, and its setting also puts the harbour at San Miguel de Abona about 0.3 miles away. Tenerife South Airport is roughly a 10-minute drive, a useful advantage for short breaks as well as longer weeks in the Canarian sunshine.

Golf del Sur is the more substantial test, an 18-hole championship course laid out as two nine-hole loops across the rolling terrain of southern Tenerife. Designed by Pepe Gancedo and later remodelled by Manuel Piñero, it asks for considered placement rather than simply reaching for the driver at every opportunity. Amarilla’s location next door makes it particularly easy to arrange a relaxed second round, while Golf Costa Adeje’s Championship Course and Golf Las Américas, where lakes and streams come into play, add further options for those planning several rounds.

Back at the hotel, accommodation ranges from doubles and junior suites to deluxe suites and family rooms sleeping up to six. Apartments and studios include air conditioning, a lounge with satellite television and furnished outdoor space, with Wi-Fi available throughout the rooms and public areas. Golden Buffet covers breakfast, lunch and dinner, with show cooking at breakfast and dinner, while Club M&M provides poolside lunches and the pool bar stays open for drinks and light food until 18:30. Outdoor pools sit among gardens and terraces, and the Atlantis Spa has a Roman-style pool, sauna and steam room, along with treatments including a Canary Islands massage using salt from the Janubio Salt Flats.
