Founder of Amarilla

The heart of the project is an eclectic team that all share the same infatuation for Tenerife and the Canary Islands; who strive to make sure everyone who visits ends up feeling the same way. This Stay was set up by siblings, Marina and Jonathan, who grew up in the South of Tenerife. Having parents from different cultures allowed us to experience both the Canarian culture of our father and Irish culture from our mother- along with the array of nationalities and communities spread throughout the Canary Islands. After graduating from High School, we both, at separate times, left the island to study and work abroad. Between us, we have lived in: Spain, Ireland, Germany, Ethiopia, Hong Kong, Jordan, France, the USA, and Bali. However, we both found ourselves being drawn back to the place where we grew up. We would invite friends to visit our home and when showing off the island, we felt an immense sense of pride and adoration for the place. This has now transformed into greeting people from all over the world to this beautiful island and showing them everything Tenerife has to offer.
