If you're looking for a lively night on the town, you have two options. Stay in Costa Adeje and enjoy its upmarket bars and restaurants or take a short walk into Playa de las Americas and enjoy the livelier, late night clubs there.

Playa Blanca Holidays
Overview
Flanked by ebony-coloured mountains and facing the expansive Mediterranean Sea is Playa Blanca, literally meaning ‘white beach’ in Spanish. This cool and fun-loving beach resort town is the newest entrant in the long list of beach towns in the Canary Islands. Located on the southernmost tip of Lanzarote, Playa Blanca holidays have a lot to offer.
Playa Blanca is blessed with stunning pale-yellow beaches, beautiful sea-facing promenades and quaint fishing towns dotting its long coastline. Good for both family holidays as well as romantic escapades, Playa Blanca has a number of attractions for nature lovers, history buffs and adventure seekers too. The resort is surrounded by beautiful, rugged volcanic mountains (which have become dormant in recent years), leaving behind a landscape filled with caves, lagoons and rock formations. You'll find plenty of things to do during your Playa Blanca holidays, soak up the spectacular views as you sit down for a fresh seafood platter or a tall glass of wine at one of the several cocktail bars and lounges of the town. When you are not laying your towel down at the beaches, you can take a day-trip to Cueva de Los Verdes, a cavernous volcanic formation, or El Golfo, a half-submerged cone of a severely eroded volcano.
With pristine beaches and a balmy year-round climate, Playa Blanca holidays are your perfect chance to let your hair down and get close to nature.

Getting Around
The public buses are a cheap way for visitors to explore the island but most holidaymakers tend to use taxis and hire cars for that extra flexibility. The islands are full of cycling and hiking trails for the more adventurous, too. The resort of Playa Blanca is easily explored by foot and many of the main restaurants and bars are in the same area.
