Location

The hotel is located directly on the fine, light-coloured natural beach of El Medano, one of the longest beaches on the island, right on the edge of the Montana Roja nature reserve. A beautiful wooden promenade along the sea leads you to the town centre of El Medano in just a few minutes' walk, where you will still find typical local charm. Playa de las Américas is about a 20-minute drive away, and the airport (TFS) is only about 7 kilometres away, yet aircraft noise is extremely rarely heard.

The Playa Surf CBbC Hotel in El Médano is known as a pioneer in windsurfing. The Funboard, now ridden worldwide, was designed and tested here in 1982.
El Médano Bay is one of the best windsurfing spots in the world due to its safe, onshore winds. It is often called 'Little Hawaii' or the 'European answer to Hawaii'!
The hotel has a limited number of storage boxes for your own surfboards and kiteboards (fee payable locally).
Thanks to the ideal beachfront location of the Playa Surf CBbC Hotel (designed by the famous Canarian artist Cesar Manrique), sports enthusiasts can launch directly into the sea via approximately 30m of sandy beach. Wind statistics show that the bay of El Médano has wind on approximately 75% of all days. The measured wind strengths range between 4 and 5 Beaufort.
World Cups are often held here in the summer.
