Benimar is a well kept, tranquil complex, quite close to the sea in Fanabe. It has a wonderful swimming pool and sunbathing area.
Fanabe is a quiet resort with a long white sandy beach in the Playa de las Americas region of Tenerife . It is fast emerging as one of the top, up and coming areas on the island and gaining a reputation for quality hospitality. It’s a wonderful place to spend quality time with friends or just relax in the sun and soak up the atmosphere. There are a large selection of shops, bars and restaurants which are in the main of a more exclusive nature, but several catering for the average tourist’s needs.
Local Interests
Just
5 kilometers from Playa de las Americas, Golf Costa Adeje was created with
the ambition of becoming the most important leisure development in the
Canary Islands. This excellent 27 holes of course opened in 1998 and has
rapidly become one the most popular courses in Tenerife. Designed by the
internationally renowned architect Pepe Gancedo the layout is
characteristic of his drawing board, "hand-built" he says,
adapting itself to the natural terrain and the restored stone walls from
former agricultural terracing. The views from the course take in the
island of La Gomera, the mountain range of Adeje, Playa de la Americas and
the sea. The greens are generally large and there are a number of doglegs.
The round begins with a long par five (510m) and bunkers wait to catch
stray balls off the tee. The 2nd is short with a ravine to the right and a
green formed on two levels makes it more difficult when the flag is placed
at the back. The fourth follows a gentle slope downhill towards the sea
and is crossed a regular intervals by the step-like stone walls of the
former banana plantation. There are two greens, one directly in front with
the sea beyond and the other closer to the tee on the right. To get from
the main course to the driving range and the golf school, there is an
elevator to take players and even buggies down through the natural rock.
The 14th is an uphill par three and it is necessary to attack the green
which is protected by a deep bunker in front, and the 18th is a
spectacular finishing hole, also a par 5, where the downhill aspect makes
the green more accessible in two, although those wanting to be sure to
avoid the trouble generally settle for three strokes.
