It may seem as though our summer has just started as we are just beginning to get some better weather but in reality the days are already getting shorter and we are heading fast towards the grey days of winter. This week’s blog is your chance to find out about some of the great hotels and courses there are available to you this winter where you can also enjoy some sun and warm weather as opposed to staying here in England where you would have little hope of playing many dry rounds!

The Canary Islands are well known for their lovely climate all year round and so it is no wonder that three of our top suggestions for great destinations to get some winter sun and great golf are situated on the Canary Islands where the climate is of never ending Spring!

SandosSanBlas

Sandos San Blas Nature Resort & Golf, offers a fantastic all-inclusive package which is great for when you just want to have a relaxing holiday, play some superb golf and eat and drink ‘til your heart is content. The rooms are spacious and decorated with a contemporary theme and each one has their own private balcony as well as a hydromassage bath! There is plenty to do at the hotel as there are 8 swimming pools for you to enjoy as well as tennis and volleyball courts, kayaking in the lake and mountain biking. You can dine at one of the two buffet restaurants and enjoy a few drinks at one of the eight different bars! Alternatively, you can take advantage of the free shuttle that runs twice a day into Playa de las Americas where you can find some more options for food and drink besides the hotel. With all of this to enjoy as well as two fantastic courses (Amarilla Golf and Golf del Sur) just a mile away it is no wonder that this is one of our favourite destinations for a relaxing, winter golf break where you can get plenty of vitamin D!

JardinTecina

Located on the small island of La Gomera is the four-star Jardin Tecina. The hotel is situated in amongst 17 acres of lush gardens with stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean providing it with the most relaxing and tranquil atmosphere. All of the rooms have private terraces where you can enjoy views of the gardens, swimming pool or the ocean. You can spend your day relaxing by the pool, on the stunning beach of Playa de Santiago which is just a short walk away or you can spend it playing golf on the fantastic and challenging Tecina Golf which is just several hundred yards from the hotel. With all of this on-site there is no reason to not sit back, relax, play some great golf and enjoy staying at this fine hotel. There are also other amenities on-site such as the fitness centre, squash courts, mini golf and tennis courts so no-one could ever say that they were bored here. This is another beautiful hotel where you can enjoy some winter sun whilst relaxing in a lovely environment and playing some superb golf – all at the same time!

The hotel has 3 lovely restaurants which you can enjoy dining traditional Spanish food and there are also 3 great bar areas for you to enjoy a pre or post-round drink or two! There is a stunning rooftop terrace where you can enjoy a dip in the large pool whilst looking at some of the stunning views and scenery that surrounds this exclusive resort. Not only is there the rooftop swimming pool but there are actually 6 swimming pools in total as well as a free service down to Maspalomas beach.
