🎓 Tenerife Internship 2027: Live Legendary In Luxury Tourism
Welcome 👋 If you landed here you are probably thinking about doing your university internship in Tenerife. Maybe you have been scrolling through endless placement sites, comparing options, dreaming about palm trees outside your office window. Same. We get it.
This page tells you everything about what life looks like as a Club Canary intern in Costa Adeje. The fun stuff, the real stuff, and the honest stuff. Take your time. Read it all. The longer you stay on this page, the better you understand if this internship is your move.
We have welcomed interns from across Europe over the past few years. Some stayed three months, some stayed a full year, some never went home and are still on our team today
Long term paid internship in Tenerife for active university students. Tourism, Marketing or ICT. Office work in Costa Adeje. Real client work from day one. Free Club Canary excursions. Big team energy. We prefer interns who stay 6 months or more. One year is gold.
More Than An Internship — A Whole Island Chapter
Tenerife is not just sun and beaches. You will live on an island with volcanic peaks, banana plantations, black sand coves, dolphin pods, stargazing nights at Teide, carnival weeks, and beach clubs that feel like Mykonos. Your weekends here look nothing like your university campus.
And during the work day? You are not photocopying papers or sending generic emails. You are booking yachts, organizing dolphin watching trips, sending luxury car rentals to clients at Bahia del Duque, planning private jet transfers, recommending evening shows. Real product. Real money. Real conversations with people from all over the world.
Your Mentors On The Island
You will work closely with Dora and Roy, the heart of the Club Canary production and logistics team. They handle interviews, onboarding, exam reviews, and most of the day to day team coordination.
Dora knows every system inside the company. Roy is the founder. Both of them have been on this island for years and treat every intern as part of the family from day one.
The language mix in the office: English is our main one. Spanish, Dutch, Italian, French and German all bounce around between team members depending on the day. You will pick up phrases fast 💜
🗣️ Tourism Intern — The Heart Of Club Canary
📸 Amalia, former Club Canary intern, living the legendary life.
The Tourism Intern role is the one we hire for the most. It is the engine of our company. From your first month you handle real clients, real money and real decisions every shift. There is zero space for shy people who only want to watch and learn from the back.
What you actually do every day:
- Reply to live chat messages from clients across Europe and beyond, often within seconds, in a smart and friendly way.
- Handle inbound phone calls from luxury travelers and qualify their needs.
- Write emails that sound human, not robotic. Our clients hate robotic.
- Manage bookings across our systems, from catamarans to private jets, from quad bikes to evening shows.
- Work with our AI assistants and chatbots, learn how to feed them better answers, become part of how we use AI smart.
- Organize special moments. Marriage proposals on yachts, surprise birthday boat trips, kids parties at Siam Park. Real life movie scenes.
- Build relationships with our B2B partners across Tenerife.
- Upsell and cross sell because the better you do, the more tips and bonuses you earn.
You are perfect for Tourism if: you are an entertainer. You make people smile. You think on your feet. You can switch from a stressed client to a happy one to a confused one without breaking a sweat. Studies in Hospitality, Tourism, International Business, Communication or Languages fit best.
Minimum stay: 90 days. Great: 6 months or more. Sweet Spot one full year. Long term Tourism interns become some of our most valued team members.
📈 Marketing Intern — Find The Magic Behind The Brand
Reality check before you apply: this is not a social media internship. We know that 80% of marketing students dream about posting Instagram reels all day. Our luxury clients do not follow tour companies on Instagram. They search Google, Perplexity, ChatGPT. So the actual work happens in the engine room of marketing.
What you actually do every day:
- Build and optimize funnels, email campaigns and CRM workflows.
- Write SEO content and product descriptions that rank and convert.
- Help design new landing pages with our ICT team.
- Find and onboard new B2B partners across the island.
- Run A/B tests on real campaigns with real budget.
- Analyze data, find bottlenecks, suggest fixes.
- Help out with Tourism tasks too because the best marketers know the product from the inside.
The Tenerife local angle: if you are coming from outside the Canary Islands, study the island before you arrive. Locals can spot fake island talk in one sentence. Some locals are protective about how tourism is portrayed and we respect that. Marketing here means knowing the food, the festivals, the language quirks, the towns nobody writes about, the hidden side of the island.
You are perfect for Marketing if: you find the magic in Club Canary, the love, passion and humor we put into our daily work. You are analytical AND creative. You can write copy that makes someone smile. WordPress, basic SEO, email tools and Google Analytics are a strong plus.
Minimum stay: 120 days. Sweet spot: 6 months or more. Dream commitment: one full year.
💻 ICT Intern — Content Meets Code
The ICT internship at Club Canary is half technical, half creative. You are not just fixing bugs all day. You are building product listings, writing high quality SEO content, improving website speed, creating new landing pages with WordPress and Elementor, running on page audits, testing fixes on safe practice sites before applying them to Club Canary.
The thing that matters most for ICT interns: you understand our audience. You know what tourists feel, what stops them from booking, how to write so they trust us instantly. The best ICT interns at Club Canary are part developer, part copywriter, part empath.
Required: WordPress, Elementor, HTML. E-commerce background. Eye for detail. Bonus: SEO tools, basic JavaScript, image editing, AI prompting skills.
Minimum stay: 150 days because the training is heavy. Sweet spot: 6 months or more. Dream commitment: one full year and a job offer at the end.
💰 Internship Compensation 2027 Onwards
From 2027 the rate is the same for every role. Tourism, Marketing, ICT. What changes is only the length of your stay. On top of monthly pay, you receive free activities and team outings as part of your training (real value, not fluff). Here is what you can honestly expect.
| Length Of Internship | Monthly Pay | Activities & Team Outings Value |
|---|---|---|
| Less Than 3 Months | Please Do Not Apply | — |
| 3 To 5 Months | Unpaid (Learning Phase) | Around 325€ in experiences and team events |
| 6 To 9 Months | 400€ / Month | Around 600€ in experiences and team events |
| 10 To 13 Months | 600€ / Month | Around 1.000€ in premium experiences and outings |
| 14 Months Or More | 800€ / Month 🔥 | Around 1.200€ full island lifestyle |
Rates above apply to interns starting in 2027 and onwards. Active 2026 interns follow the structure agreed at the time of acceptance. The activity and team outing values are real averages from past years, not guarantees, since the exact mix depends on season, availability and your own energy to join.
🎯 Optional Bonus Programs (For The Ambitious)
For interns who want to be challenged with real sales goals, we run optional bonus programs starting from 5 months and longer. Clients can also leave personal tips and even request a specific agent if they connected with one.
Heads up: bonuses and tips depend fully on your performance, the season, the clients you handle, and how the program runs that year. Some interns earn nice extras on top of their base, others do not earn any. We do not promise extras, we offer the chance for them.
♻️ The Returning Intern Bonus (For The Ones Who Earned It)
If you already did an internship with us and you fit the team, you are more than welcome back. For interns who return for a second round (for example 5 months one year and 5 more months the next year), we treat your total time together. You jump straight to the 10+ month tier on your second internship, and we also pay back what you would have earned during the first one.
Heads up: this bonus is not automatic. It is reserved for interns who did a great job the first time, fit the team well and left a positive impression. If your first internship did not go great, we may not offer it. We are honest about that. If you know you crushed it, you already know this offer is on the table for you.
🎁 Free Activities And Team Outings
Every Club Canary intern joins activities and team outings. This is part of your training because you sell what you have lived. The activities below are some of our best sellers, so by trying them out you also learn exactly what we offer to clients. We try to fit as many as possible into your first months on the island, so you can speak about them with real confidence.
The exact mix depends on availability, season, team plans and your own energy to explore. These numbers are real averages from past years, not guarantees.
📦 What Most Interns Actually Experience (Click To Open)
- Atlantic Star Boat Trip and Mount Teide Stargazing — almost every intern joins these. They are core to understanding our top experiences.
- One full island tour like the Teide & Masca Bus Tour through the north of Tenerife.
- An extra activity like snorkeling, an evening show, jet skiing or a guided local experience.
- For 6+ month interns: Paragliding and Quad Safari are very common.
- For long term interns: a private team boat trip, fishing day, horse riding, or a bonus excursion on a day off.
- Team dinners, bowling nights, beach club afternoons and yacht days organized by the company throughout the year.
Why we push you to try things early: the faster you live our top sellers, the faster you sell them with real passion. Clients can hear the difference between "I read about it" and "I did it last weekend, it was amazing." That second one books trips. The first one does not.
It is not a checklist we promise. It is what naturally happens when you join an active team in tourism. Some interns experience way more than this. Some experience a bit less if they are more reserved. Your energy decides how much you live.
Working Hours, Shifts And Time Off At Our Tenerife Internship
Tourism never sleeps and neither does Tenerife in high season, so we plan smart and we plan together. As a Club Canary intern in Costa Adeje you work 35 hours per week across 5 days. Two shift options run every day: morning 08:00 to 15:00 or evening 15:00 to 22:00.
- 2 Days Off Each Week. Your schedule depends on team needs. Marketing and ICT interns sometimes get more flexibility.
- 2 Extra Holiday Days Per Month. Save them up for when family or friends come visit you in Tenerife. Smart move.
- High Season Hits July, August And September. These months matter the most for our agency. Plan your internship around them when possible.
- Office Only In Costa Adeje. No remote internship. No laptop on the beach. Every shift is in person.
How We Handle Christmas, New Year And Easter Shifts
Tourism in Tenerife runs full speed during Christmas, New Year and Easter weeks. We plan the holiday schedule together as a team. Some interns prefer to work the holidays and travel during a quieter month. Some prefer to fly home for Christmas. We figure it out, no drama, just open conversation. Whoever steps up for the holiday shifts gets a little extra love from the team in return 💜
Our Tenerife Internship Office In Costa Adeje
The Club Canary office sits inside Centro Comercial Plaza del Duque, the high end shopping center right next to the beach in Costa Adeje. We share the building with Rolex, designer fashion brands and fine dining restaurants. The vibe is luxury and you fit into it from day one.
- Address: Calle Londres S/N, Planta -1, Puerta B35, C.C. Plaza del Duque, 38660 Adeje, Tenerife.
- Access Hours: 07:45 to 22:30 daily.

Finding Accommodation As An Intern In Tenerife
Real talk: this is the hardest part of moving to Tenerife for your internship. We do not provide housing and we do not run intern flats anymore. We tried in the past and it became a mess with neighbor complaints, so we stopped. Today our job is to give you the smartest local tips so you find a good place fast.
⚠️ You Need To Be Financially Stable Before You Apply.
If money is already stressing you out before you arrive, this internship will not feel good. We pay what we pay. We do not negotiate higher rates because rent in Costa Adeje is expensive. Plan your budget honestly before you commit.
Our honest tips for finding a place in Costa Adeje:
- Start In A Hostel For Your First Month. Cheap, social, easy. Many interns stay the whole internship there because they love the vibe.
- Higher Budget? Book An Airbnb For 4 Weeks and use that time to look for something long term.
- Search Locally, Not Just Online. Online listings in Costa Adeje are over searched and over priced. Most local landlords prefer to meet you face to face. Walking around, asking in cafés, joining local Facebook groups and asking shop owners works way better than booking platforms.
- Once You Arrive We Connect You With Current Interns. They share what works and what to avoid.
- A Team Member Can Visit A Place With You if you want a second opinion before you sign anything. We have seen enough rentals in Tenerife to spot the red flags fast.
Who Fits The Club Canary Tenerife Team
Skills can be taught. Attitude cannot. We are a small team in Costa Adeje and the office vibe matters a lot. We work seriously, we work fast, we use AI tools every day. We also laugh. A lot.
The kind of person who thrives at Club Canary:
- Tech Savvy. You learn new tools fast. You are curious about AI, not afraid of it.
- Funny. You can make a stressed client smile, drop a small joke, lighten a tense moment without crossing any lines. Our slogan is Live Legendary for a reason.
- Social. You can talk to a luxury traveler, a young couple, and an older retired group all in the same hour.
- Curious. You ask questions, you study the island, you try the activities, you understand what we sell.
- Reliable. If you say you will do something, you do it. If you go out, you still show up the next day ready to work.
- Direct. No passive attitude. If something is wrong, you say it. If something is good, you say it.
One thing to be clear about: if you leave your teammates alone at the office because you are "sick" from clubbing the night before, do not expect to be sipping cocktails at the next team event. Sorry, not sorry 😉
🏄 Team surf sessions on quieter weekends
Languages Spoken At Our Tenerife Internship
- English Is Essential. The office runs in English. Every system, every meeting, every internal chat. No exceptions.
- Spanish Helps for daily life in Costa Adeje and for local partners, not crucial for the role itself.
- Dutch, German, French, Italian, Polish, Romanian, Russian are big bonuses. We serve clients from all these countries every single day at Club Canary. Every extra language is real value on your CV.
Dress Code For Interns At Club Canary Tenerife
👗 Dora keeping it sharp at the office
- Tourism Interns: dress smart. A luxury client could walk into our Costa Adeje office at any moment. First impressions matter.
- Marketing And ICT Interns: smart casual works. Slightly more flexibility but no beach wear.
- For Everyone: no shorts, no flip flops. Long trousers and a clean top like a polo, blouse or t-shirt. A blazer in winter looks sharp.
- Comfort: the office is air conditioned. Smart clothes are not a problem. We have a toilet inside where you can change outfits if needed.
- Possible Update For 2027: we are looking into providing Club Canary uniforms for the team. Nothing locked in yet, but stay tuned.
Training Videos And Exams During Your Tenerife Internship
Before you start working at Club Canary, you complete around 38 introduction videos. Each runs 7 to 30 minutes. They cover how our systems work, how we treat clients and partners, and how to avoid the expensive mistakes that cost time and money.
You then take the Club Canary intern exam. A score under 75% usually means the internship ends, unless agreed otherwise. We do not say this to scare you. We say it because real money rides on knowing this stuff.
During your first month, you watch around 50 more videos during work hours, with more exams along the way. Take notes, pay attention, and the rest of your internship in Tenerife gets way smoother. The videos are your safety net.
From Tenerife Intern To Club Canary Team Member
🐋 Long term interns often join private team boat days
Club Canary almost never hires someone who did not first intern with us. We know who they are, how they work, and if they fit the team. Direct hires are rare.
If you get a job offer after your internship in Tenerife, it is because you earned it. You were good with clients, respectful with partners, and brought more value than you cost. If that is the case, it makes zero sense for us not to keep you.
One year interns have the highest chance of being offered a job. You can also check our Tenerife jobs page for any current open roles, or follow our LinkedIn page where we post new internship and job openings as they open.

Frequently Asked Questions About The Tenerife Internship

Our sweet spot is 6 to 12 months. We prefer one year interns the most because they grow into the role and bring real value. Tourism has a 90 day minimum, Marketing 120 days, and ICT 150 days. Anything shorter than 3 months and we cannot accept you. Be honest about how long you can stay. Long term wins.
How much do Club Canary interns earn per month?
From 2027 onwards the pay is the same for all roles. Under 6 months is unpaid. From 6 to 9 months you earn 400€ per month. From 10 to 13 months it is 600€ per month. Stay 14 months or more and you earn 800€ per month. On top of this Tourism and Marketing interns earn tips and sales bonuses. Some interns earn way more than the base, others stick to the minimum. Your effort decides the result.

Stay 6 to 9 months and that grows to 600€ or more with paragliding, quad safari and team outings.

Some interns experience way more than this depending on their energy and fit with the team.
Can I do a remote internship at Club Canary?
No. Zero. Never. The office is in Costa Adeje Tenerife and that is where you work. Every shift. Every day. If you are looking for a laptop on the beach internship, this is not it.
Do I need to be a student to apply for the Club Canary internship?
Yes, no exception. You must be an active enrolled university student. You also need an official learning agreement or internship contract from your university. If your university does not give you this, please do not apply. We sign and stamp the documents you send us. No student status equals no internship.
Does Club Canary help with accommodation in Tenerife?
We do not provide housing, but we help with smart tips. Tenerife rent is expensive and finding a place online is hard because everyone is searching. Our advice: book a hostel or Airbnb for your first month, then look locally. Most landlords here prefer to meet you face to face before renting. Once you are in Tenerife, a team member can even come visit a place with you. The honest truth: you need to be financially stable before applying. This is not a budget backpacker internship.
What languages do I need to speak to intern at Club Canary?
Fluent English is essential. Everything in the office runs in English. Spanish is helpful but not required. Dutch, German, French, Italian, Polish, or Russian are big bonuses because we serve clients from those countries every day. The more languages you bring, the more value you give the team.
What is the work schedule and how many days off do I get?
You work 35 hours per week across 5 days. Shifts are either 08:00 to 15:00 or 15:00 to 22:00, six or seven days operation. You get 2 days off each week plus 2 extra holiday days per month. You can save those extra days for when family or friends visit you in Tenerife. Smart move.
Can I get a job at Club Canary after my internship?
es, but only if you earn it. We almost never hire someone who did not first intern with us. If you proved yourself, were good with clients, respected partners, and brought more value than you cost, it makes zero sense for us not to keep you. Long term interns who stay one year have the highest chance of a job offer. Short stay interns rarely do.
What kind of person fits the Club Canary team?
We want people who are tech savvy, funny, social, and not afraid to talk to anyone. Tourism interns are entertainers, you make clients smile. Marketing interns find the magic, love, and humor we put into our work. ICT interns understand our audience, what they want, and how to write in a way that connects. We laugh, we work fast, we use AI tools daily. If you are dry, slow, or allergic to fun, this is not your place.
How much does it cost to live in Tenerife as an intern?
Tenerife life is not expensive overall. Food, drinks, gasoline, and going out are cheap compared to most of Europe. The real cost is accommodation. Plan around 400€ to 900€ per month for a place to stay, depending on whether you want a hostel room or a private studio in Costa Adeje. Most interns combine our compensation with an Erasmus+ grant or university scholarship to cover everything comfortably. The fun parts like activities and team dinners are covered by Club Canary.
Can I do my Erasmus+ internship at Club Canary in Tenerife?
Yes, absolutely. We welcome Erasmus+ interns and we sign all required documents including learning agreements, monthly attendance reports, and final evaluation forms. We also support interns receiving government internship grants from their home country. Bring the paperwork, we handle it. Our company is registered as Schijvens Group S.L., CIF B10702603, based in Costa Adeje, Tenerife.
What if I want to do two internships at Club Canary?
We love returning interns. If you did your first internship well and fit the team, you are welcome back for a second round. When you return, we combine your total internship time and you jump straight to the higher pay tier on your second internship. We also pay back what you would have earned during the first one. Loyalty matters here. Heads up though, this bonus is reserved for interns who left a positive impression. If your first internship did not go great, we may not offer it.
Do I need a visa to intern at Club Canary in Tenerife?
We do not handle or sponsor visa applications. You must already have the legal right to intern in Spain when you apply. EU citizens or students with valid Spanish work papers only. If you need a visa, please do not apply because we cannot help with that process.
Can I negotiate my internship pay or ask for special treatment?
No, and please do not try. We have the same compensation structure for every intern, no exceptions. The pay is based on how long you stay, nothing else. People who come in trying to negotiate before they have even started usually are not the right fit for our team. If our compensation does not work for your budget, the internship is not for you.
When can I start my internship at Club Canary?
We open internship spots throughout the year across all three roles: Tourism, Marketing and ICT. The most important months for our agency are July, August and September. We try to let new interns start at least 2 months before high season so they get trained and confident before the busy period hits. Interns who plan to stay one year often start around September, which is the smart move because by the following summer they are already experienced and crushing it. Send your application early because spots fill up fast, especially for the summer months.
What are the training videos and exams about?
Before you start working, you complete around 38 introduction videos at home. Each one runs 7 to 30 minutes. They cover how our systems work, how we treat clients and partners, and how to avoid expensive mistakes. After that you take the Club Canary intern exam. A score under 75% usually means the internship ends, unless agreed otherwise. During your first month you watch around 50 more videos during work hours with extra exams along the way. The videos are your safety net.
Do I have to work during Christmas, New Year or Easter?
Tenerife tourism runs full speed during Christmas, New Year and Easter. We plan the holiday schedule together as a team. Some interns prefer to work the holidays and travel during a quieter month. Some prefer to fly home for Christmas. We figure it out, no drama, just open conversation. Whoever steps up for the holiday shifts gets a little extra love from the team in return.
