Why Benty was founded

A fragmented sports offering needed a trusted marketplace

Sports tourism in the Canary Islands grows by double digits every year. But the offer is extremely fragmented: hundreds of schools, guides, clubs, and coaches without a single source to compare them.

Finding a genuinely high-quality sports experience — with certified instructors, correct ratios, well-maintained equipment, and adequate insurance — used to take hours of searching and often felt like a lottery.

Benty was created to solve this: a local marketplace that gathers, verifies, and books the best sports experiences on the islands all in one place. The benchmark for discovering, comparing, and experiencing sports in the Canary Islands.

Team

From the industry, for the industry.

We live in the Canaries, train on the water and on the rock, and personally know the providers who make the islands' best sports experiences possible. That closeness is our edge: every activity we list passes our own quality filter.

We started in Lanzarote and are moving across the rest of the Canaries and Europe, with the ambition of becoming the reference for discovering, comparing and booking authentic sports experiences.

Why Lanzarote

The European sports tourism capital is our starting point

Lanzarote is Europe's only destination combining a stable climate 365 days a year, unique volcanic terrain for cycling and trail running, consistent Atlantic swells, and world-class sporting events. That's why we founded Benty here.

  • Ideal climate all year round: average of 21 °C and 300 days of sunshine per year.
  • World-class destination for surfing, cycling, triathlon, and water sports.
  • Home of Ironman Lanzarote since 1992 — one of the toughest on the global calendar.
  • Club La Santa, an international benchmark for sports training since 1983.
  • Complete Biosphere Reserve: unique trails over volcanic landscapes.
  • European-quality roads with low traffic, ideal for World Tour cycling.

From Idea to Startup

The Founder

Portrait of the founder of Benty

Benty was born out of our own need. We are all sports enthusiasts ourselves, and in the Canary Islands we simply missed a marketplace that brings together the best experiences. Especially for those who come to the islands as tourists, the market is highly fragmented and there are no trustworthy sources that curate what's on offer. With the startup Benty we are closing that gap. We work only with the best in every sports discipline and create authentic experiences that stay with you for a long time. And because it works so well on Lanzarote, we soon want to scale to all the Canary Islands.

— Marlene Merle, Founder of Benty
