Live redevelopment workstream

Project Horizon

Stay longer. Live better.

A hospitality-led active holiday community designed primarily for independent adults 50+, combining flexible stays, social connection, sport, wellness and the year-round appeal of South-West Tenerife.

A real destination economy

Tenerife South, within the municipality of Adeje.

The public geography is deliberately broad. Project Horizon sits within the established visitor economy of South-West Tenerife. The exact private location, transaction perimeter and ownership are not published at this stage.

Scale, access and long-stay relevance.

Official Tenerife tourism statistics recorded 151,547 accommodated tourists, 1,097,163 overnight stays and an average stay of 7.24 nights in Adeje in April 2026. These are destination-context indicators, not Project Horizon forecasts.

Tenerife South Airport handled 13,969,678 passengers in 2025, up 1.7% on 2024, and Aena describes the airport as being at the heart of the island's southern tourism area. Adeje also renewed its Smart Tourism Destination status for 2026–2029, with methodology compliance reported at 62.8%.

The hospitality proposition

A holiday community, not simply a room inventory.

The design starts with a hotel/resort operating model. Guests can arrive for a conventional holiday, stay for longer, return seasonally and build familiarity with people and place—without creating a residential sell-down or permanent-occupation product.

01

Flexible stays

Short, extended, seasonal and longer tourism-compliant stays, with final products subject to legal and operating review.

02

Community by design

Belonging without compulsory sociability: lively shared spaces, small-group settings, quiet rooms, gardens and private terraces.

03

Active life

Swimming, strength and mobility, racquet sports, walking, wellness, classes and excursions designed around healthy independence.

04

Daily-life comfort

Food, laundry, parcel handling, housekeeping flexibility, storage and practical services suited to guests staying for weeks as well as nights.

The stay journey is conceptual, not a published tariff or contractual duration. Project Horizon is not presented as permanent residence, senior housing, assisted living, a care home, timeshare or fractional ownership.

From Sun Park to the next generation

The Sun Rockers idea, modernised.

Years before “extended stay” became a fashionable hospitality category, the historical Sun Park operating model in Lanzarote was already testing a different proposition: an active holiday community primarily for independent over-50s, with social connection, repeat visits and stays measured in weeks and months as well as nights.

Archival material records a community-based HolidayLiving concept, singles and couples, shared activities, a “home-from-home in the sun” atmosphere and an average historical stay of approximately 12 weeks, with some guests staying longer. That is historical operating evidence—not a forecast for this project.

Project Horizon carries forward the operating DNA: controllable hospitality inventory, flexible stays, community, direct guest relationships, specialist distribution and a model capable of being replicated professionally.

Community should make connection easy, not mandatory.

Historical boundary: the Sun Park record evidences a customer and operating proposition. It does not mean the same contracts, rights, legal structure or products continue today. The Sun Park/MYND Yaiza recovery record is separate from Project Horizon.

Reuse · reposition · rebuild

Bring a resort estate back to life.

The design team is testing what should be retained, what should be adapted and what should be replaced. Existing structures and leisure infrastructure are treated as potential inputs—not as constraints that must all survive.

REUSE

Keep what already creates value.

Test structure, embodied carbon, services and existing leisure assets before demolition.

REPOSITION

Change the guest experience.

Reconfigure accommodation, landscape, club spaces, sport, wellness, food and back-of-house around the new operating model.

REBUILD

Replace where the economics demand it.

Use selective or deeper redevelopment where planning, lifecycle cost, accessibility or the guest proposition justify it.

The new community

Designed for independence, comfort and return.

The current brief is intentionally programmatic rather than a claimed approved scheme. Exact accommodation count, floor area, retention, demolition and phasing remain diligence questions.

Hospitality suites

Generous studios, one-bedroom suites and selected larger hospitality suites with terraces, proper wardrobes, good acoustics and universal-design principles.

Community heart

Reception hosts, club lounge, café, bar, restaurant, reading room, games, learning, cinema, events, work lounge and quiet spaces.

Pools & wellness

Swimming, aqua programmes, spa, sauna/steam, treatment rooms and mobility/recovery spaces, without implying medical or nursing care.

Sport

Racquet sports, fitness, walking, cycling, yoga/pilates and low-impact activity calibrated to the eventual site and operating case.

Food & services

Food retail or convenience, restaurants, laundry, parcel reception, guest storage and flexible housekeeping for longer-stay comfort.

Landscape

Subtropical shade, water-conscious planting, gardens, social terraces and smaller quiet places that make outdoor life usable throughout the day.

Open-kimono project discipline

What is defined—and what is not.

A live project is not the same thing as a completed acquisition or an approved scheme. We make that distinction explicit.
