Create. Unwind.
Get Inspired.
What to Expect
All year round
The island of Tenerife enjoys a sub-tropical climate and is spoilt with sunshine and warm temperatures throughout the year. You will spend a week amongst lush palm trees in the pretty, tranquil village of Chayofa in the south of the island. The craft retreats run from Saturday to Saturday.
Broad range of activities
You will experience workshops where our very own craft tutors will demonstrate an exciting range of creations in which you will be able to participate. The workshops will be tailor-made to suit all abilities, whether you are an experienced crafter or a complete beginner.
Creativity & relaxation
Crafting under the sun is a fun and enjoyable way to enhance your creativity whilst enjoying a relaxing holiday. Your days will be evenly balanced out, combining creative crafting and unwinding around the comfy surroundings of the retreat. Become part of an inspiring group, enjoy the sunshine or perhaps watching the sunset on the beach.
Comfy accommodation
We can accommodate up to six guests in 3 twin rooms. You may on request have the beds made into doubles. We will hygienically clean the bathrooms daily and you will be equipped with bathrobes, slippers, towels, hand soap, and hairdryers.
Comfortable surroundings
You will enjoy your crafting underneath the beautiful gazebo with amazing sea views. You may lay in the hammock underneath the fruit trees and relax. The retreat has fibre-optic WiFi and a wonderful comfy lounge.
Unique experience
We welcome groups of friends as well as couples and singles. Perhaps you would like to enjoy a mother/daughter experience of crafting together. Please reach out to us for details of exclusive use of the retreat and tailor-made workshops.

About
Hi, my name is Ria. I am the founder of The Tenerife Craft Retreat. I have lived on the island of Tenerife here in the Canary Islands for several years. Whilst I was attending a craft-making holiday in Europe, I had a light bulb moment, and I thought that this was something I could share from my home in Tenerife.
Having always been interested in craft and design ideas, I thought, why don’t I share this passion with other like-minded crafty people?
I have spent hours researching the great artisans who reside on the island. The idea is to offer you something different taking happy memories back home.
Feel free to browse through the pages that I have collated for you. If you like what you see, then, one day, we could be crafting together underneath the wonderful Tenerife sun!
There aren’t any rules to being crafty. Just go with the flow and you’ll be surprised at what you can create!
Yours
Ria

I had a wonderful week at The Tenerife Craft Retreat. From the moment i arrived, i was received with a warm welcome which continued throughout the week. Everyday i learnt something different in a fun and relaxed atmosphere. The retreat was lovely as was the food and we even had our own chef!
