The Canary Islands – a sun-drenched oasis of health, relaxation, and golf

December. Winter. Short days, fog, hoping for cold rather than rain… yet there is a place where this feels like a distant thought. The Canary Islands are a true earthly oasis of eternal spring – subtropical gems with average temperatures of around 20–24 °C all year round, ideal for sport and active relaxation.

Gran Canaria, one of the most popular islands, combines spectacular volcanic landscapes, Atlantic coastline, and unique microclimates. It offers not just a holiday, but a true winter escape and a space for regenerating both body and mind.

Golf in the Canary Islands – more than just a game

The Canary Islands are not only a sunny paradise; they are a golfer’s paradise. Thanks to stable, mild weather and sunshine almost every day, they are the perfect winter destination for golf enthusiasts from across Europe – a place to swap jackets for short sleeves and enjoy pristine fairways year-round.

Gran Canaria offers several outstanding courses:

  • Meloneras Golf – spectacular views directly overlooking the Atlantic Ocean.

  • Maspalomas Golf – set near sand dunes and a nature reserve, offering a unique desert-style experience.

  • Anfi Tauro Golf – nestled among volcanic mountains, a visual feast and a true playing challenge.

  • Salobre Golf (Old & New) – seamlessly integrated into the volcanic landscape.

Golf courses in the Canary Islands perfectly blend premium hotel comfort with golf and extraordinary natural surroundings.

Golf and longevity – why they go hand in hand

Golf is more than a game; it is a lifestyle that connects body and mind. It requires concentration, proper breathing, gentle physical activity, and time outdoors – all key pillars of longevity.

1. Activity without excessive strain
Long, relaxed walks between holes and smooth swings support mobility and cardiovascular health, without the extreme physical stress associated with some other sports.

2. Mind in harmony with nature
Golf promotes mental relaxation. A calm walking rhythm, views of the ocean or mountains, and a sense of connection with nature reduce stress and elevate mood – especially after a good shot.

3. Social interaction
The game naturally encourages socialising with playing partners. Social connection is a crucial factor for mental wellbeing and long-term health.

On impeccably maintained Canary Island courses and in an ideal climate, golf becomes part of a recipe for a healthy, balanced lifestyle.
