Golf in Tenerife – to be enjoyed all year round

201611247.jpg

GolfThe Tenerife Tourism Corporation has announced that the 9th Tenerife Ladies Open will be taking place at Buenavista Golf from 1st to 4th July 2010. Usually held in the winter months, this year the tournament will be held in the summer showcasing the island’s attributes as a world-class year round golfing destination.  And to be fair, Tenerife does enjoy a very steady and very palatable year-round climate with average daily temperatures of 23 degrees Centigrade throughout the year.

Hosting this year’s tournament, 18-hole Buenavista Golf is considered a true golfer’s delight, due to its prime location in the verdant north, surrounded by spectacular volcanic landscapes and the Atlantic Ocean. The surrounding accommodation offering has recently been enhanced with the opening of the five star Vincci Seleccion Buenavista Golf & Spa, providing 117 rooms, a Nammu Spa, a “Gourmet Canario” restaurant and Golf School.

A Slow Life with Six Senses

201611245.jpg

Soneva Fushi and Soneva Gili by Six Senses have long been pioneers in their celebration of Slow Life and Slow Life Cooking. Both Maldivian resorts along with their new sister, Soneva Kiri in Thailand, have organic gardens, world class chefs and take enormous pride in offering the freshest of ingredients, sourced locally and cooked to perfection.

This year Soneva by Six Senses is launching The Slow Life Cooking ‘Thairi’. Starting with renowned chef, Atul Kochhar – the first Indian chef to be awarded a Michelin star – named chefs from some of the most famous restaurants in the world have been invited to the resorts, to cook for guests but also to judge the existing standard of cuisine on offer. At the end of their stay, the chefs will be invited to award a ‘thairi’, the Maldivian word for star, and an independent panel will be notified with the result. A ‘thairi’ may not be forthcoming, there may be more than one, but the ‘thairi’s’ will be awarded following strict guidelines, with a rating system designed by a jury of independent chefs. To ensure complete objectivity and element of surprise, Soneva Repeater guests will also secretly be invited to cast their vote. The results will be announced bi-annually.
