This building’s unusual, modern architecture lends it its singular and marked personality, not only is it the new events centre for southern Tenerife, but has also become one of the prime cultural references of the island. Its unique style provides great variety for the events that take place in the centre, as it is not only a conference centre, but has also been designed to satisfy the large variety of needs generated by the events market.

This extremely voluptuous building blends into the landscape, forming a delicate, pleasant continuation of it and emerges from the surroundings in the form of thirteen monoliths composed of a combination of volcanic rock and cement, which its architects interpret as a volcanic eruption. The curved roof is an interpretation of water in movement and is in perfect harmony with the rest of the building’s elements.

Magma Art and Congresses, as an architectural reality, was created by AMP architects; Felipe Artengo Rufino, Fernando Martín Menis and José María Rodríguez Pastrana Malagón. Their project was chosen from among three award-winning projects from the Manuel de Oraá and Arcocha 2004-2005 regional architectural competition.

Magma was officially inaugurated on the 22 of November 2005, by Their Majesties The King & Queen of Spain and began its advance into the events industry at the beginning of 2006.

Situated only 10 minutes from the Reina Sofia International Airport, beside the main local bus station and in the heart of the Adeje Coast, Magma is not only surrounded by magnificent hotels but also by leisure and restaurant facilities. If we add Tenerife’s lovely climate to these unbeatable characteristics, Magma fits the profile of the perfect place to celebrate any type of event.

The centre has many types of meeting rooms and other different areas available (V.I.P. lounge, press room, plenary room, main hall, etc.). All of which can be subdivided with panels, adaptable to the necessities of any event and fully equipped with state of the art audiovisual and communication technology. Catering, hostess, decoration services etc. are also available. Magma can host events for groups of 100 to 2,500 people.
