Tennis and paddle

It doesn't matter whether you spend two hours on the court or ten. The time is not important. What matters is that you're playing with your friends, with your family or in a competition! What matters is feeling your hairs stand on end when you manage to reach the ball just in time and your backhand sends it flying straight to the opposite court.

There are at least 11 sports centres with outdoor courts made of plexipave, clay or synthetic turf.

You will find a team of renowned physiotherapists at your disposal to ensure you are in peak physical condition and fully trained. Tenerife's wonderful climate is the perfect location to recover from an injury or following a long competitive season.

There are also several racquetball and squash facilities on the Island.
