Amarilla Marina & Golf, Tenerife

A Marina Framed by Volcanic Hills

Marina Amarilla sits on the southern coast of Tenerife, sheltered between the reddish slopes of Montaña Roja and the ochre ridge of Montaña Amarilla that give the marina its name. The protected harbor basin provides moorings for sailboats, motor yachts and fishing boats, making it a popular base for exploring the Atlantic waters off southern Tenerife.

Golf Meets the Sea

What sets this marina apart is its direct integration with Amarilla Golf, an 18-hole course whose famous 12th hole sits right at the harbor mouth. Golfers teeing off here enjoy uninterrupted sea views, while boaters entering the marina pass within sight of the fairways — a rare pairing of two leisure worlds in one frame.

The Teide on the Horizon

Beyond the marina and the golf greens, the volcanic massif of Teide, Spain’s highest peak, frequently rises in the distance, lending the scene a dramatic backdrop unique to the Canary Islands. The interplay of sea, sand-colored hills and the distant volcano gives this stretch of coastline a distinctly Canarian character.

A Year-Round Sailing Hub

Thanks to the mild Canarian climate, Marina Amarilla operates as an active waypoint for boats undertaking long Atlantic crossings, offering provisioning, repair facilities and rest for sailors year-round. The steady stream of arriving and departing vessels makes this a lively spot to watch maritime life unfold in real time.
