The modern‚ purpose-built resort of Costa Teguise, 5 kilometres northeast from the capital Arrecife, is a favourite haven for those holidaymakers who enjoy sports and like them wet and active. Appropriately, it's also home to the island's only water park.

There is a constant breeze across the bay which makes this the ideal spot for windsurfing and it is a magnet for fans of the sport‚ with a school on the main beach. The resort is situated on the eastern coastline of the island and if all you want to do is relax in the sunshine‚ Las Cucharas beach will serve you nicely. It is a large crescent shaped bay with fine‚ clear waters for swimming. Throughout the resort there are also a number of smaller beaches. An 18-hole golf course can be found just two kilometres away from the resort centre.
