Club La Santa was created as a sports and holiday resort in 1983, within existing edifications built in 1972 by the local bank La Caja de Canarias with Juan Manuel Ruiz de la Prada as architect.
The Danish pastor Eilif Krogager, creator and then still owner of the touroperator Tjaereborg took interest for Lanzarote as a holiday venue in 1978 and bought the place, still in building process from the bank. At that time, the island offered very few tourist resorts.

Because of it's geographical location, Club La Santa would need a different attraction for the tourist than only sun and sea. Among different proposals, the sports resort was chosen.

The new concept opened its doors on 22 June 1983.
The idea is and has always been to offer the highest quality so that both elite athletes and beginners or families could enjoy the place together.

In addition to quality, the free use of the many sports facilities, all on site, including free instruction at beginners and intermediate levels have made the huge success of Club La Santa.
European, World and Olympic champions regularly visit Club La Santa, whether invited for marketing and promotional purposes, or because they actually wish to visit this sports paradise for training or holidays. They feel at home at Club La Santa, as the holiday makers do, with their families and friends.
