This bustling resort is best known as the party capital of the island, but it also boasts fantastic beaches, restaurants and shopping. Holidays in Playa de las Americas are all about spending time at the six stunning sandy beaches, dining at delicious restaurants and hitting bars, cocktail lounges and clubs when the sun goes down. With the nightlife concentrated around ‘The Patch’ or the ‘Veronica Strip,’ you are spoilt for choice between theatres, live music bars, musical shows and crazy discos. Despite being a popular choice with revellers, there's more to Playa de las Americas holidays than its vibrant party scene.
The spectacular golden beaches on Tenerife’s sun-kissed south coast make this resort the perfect island getaway and with sunny skies all-year-round, it means you can treat the family to summer holidays and warming winter sun, too. If you’re travelling with kids, a trip to Siam Park (one of the biggest waterparks in Europe) is a must. Barely 2 km away in the hills is Jungle Park, where you could see over 500 animals and birds.
If you can drag yourself away from the bunch of beautiful beaches, head to neighbouring Los Cristianos or the windsurfing capital of El Medano, 22 km away, for a change of pace. With great weather (average of 22°C) all year round, the Canary Islands are a popular pick for those looking for last minute holidays.
Essential Information: When you go and what you’ll need
Playa de las Americas is teeming with bars, pubs and clubs. The town is one big party scene complete with karaoke, cabaret, comedy nights and clubs, which stay open until sunrise. You get quite a lot of tribute acts here, so be ready to hear some interesting impressions of Elton John and The Beatles! If you're looking for a more family-friendly atmosphere, The Patch is your spot, or for a full blown party, stick around the Starco Centre and you won’t be disappointed.
Tenerife's Beautiful Beaches
There are six beaches to enjoy in Playa de las Americas, each as stunning as the next. The main beach on the resort has soft golden sands that gently slope into the water, alongside a variety of nearby bars, cafes and restaurants. Most of the beaches around the resort offer action-packed activities too, including surfing, kayaking and jet-skiing!
Sample Spanish Delights
The resort has a a good selection of restaurants that serve up a variety of delicious international cuisines, but if you're after something more authentic, head to the Torviscas area and sample some traditional Spanish food. The family restaurants here have tasty tapas selections on the menu, alongside fresh seafood paellas and fine wines!
Look Out For La Gomera
If you fancy getting out of the resort or taking a break from all the partying, there's plenty to explore around the island. Nature lovers can head to the national park of Mount Teide, which is no more than a 30-minute drive away, or why not catch a boat to the idyllic island of La Gomera for stunning views overlooking the island!
