Any ideas for 2 adults & 3 grownup teens, maybe a villa?

Thinking about next summer. DS1 & DS2 + gf with DH & me.
I love a gorgeous beach, DH likes something to do maybe golf, the DC (students) will like some watersports. We all like eating out.
We normally stay in a hotel but now the GF is coming I'm thinking of a villa.
Loved Corsica when the DC were little but I wonder if we'd be bored.
Any great ideas? We have a fairly healthy budget.

I took DS2 (17) and DS1 plus GF (19) this year. We also like eating out and they all like water sports and pool activities. I was a little worried that DS2 would feel left out but it worked very well.
Hotel in Costa Adeje Tenerife, with lots of day time entertainment laid on, nearby Siam Park and night clubs a taxi ride away. The beach is ok but I've been to better. The resort had lots of lovely restaurants, we had half board so ate breakfast and lunch in hotel and ate out every night. There is a golf course.
We had three hotel rooms though so not cheap.
I am thinking of Rhodes next year, looking at Pefkos. It would be a much cheaper, quieter holiday.

Thanks Secret I'll have a look at Tenerife and Pefkos.

Could your DS1 take a friend with him?

Actually that's a good idea, then we'd be 6. I'm conscious that the DS without a GF could be left out.
I think we'd definitely consider a villa for that number.

I was anxious that DS2 would still enjoy it and I actually gave him a veto before I invited the GF.

I think it worked for us because DS2 gets on well with DS1's GF and most importantly they made a concious effort to include him. Also DS1 and DS2 did some stuff together while GF did her own thing.
I've never done a villa because the DC like the social side of hotels and I like to have my meals served even if breakfast is easy to do
We did have a 2 bedroom villa on a hotel complex once though, that was lovely.
