Playa de las Americas Holidays

Dubbed as the party capital of Tenerife, bustling Playa de las Americas, located on the island’s sun-kissed south coast, perfectly lives up to its title. Holidays in Playa de las Americas boast six impressive sun-kissed golden beaches, exciting watersports, first-rate restaurants and loads of great shopping. The real pull of the island, as with all the Canary Islands, is the sunshine. A stunning choice for winter sun or summer fun, Tenerife's Playa de las Americas holidays cater for all ages. Teeming with vibrant nightclubs, bars, pubs, live music venues and cocktail lounges, this purpose-built resort exudes a pulsating vibe that soars as nightfall descends.

The more outdoorsy travellers can head to the lush, 18-hole golf course that is the biggest on the island. For those travelling with children, enjoy a fun-filled day out at Siam Park – one of Europe’s biggest waterparks. With sunny skies, mild weather and a convivial atmosphere all year round, Playa de las Americas holidays are the perfect island getaway anytime you choose to visit.

Party in Playa de las Americas

Playa de las Americas comes alive at night with neon-lit streets, upbeat music, spirited partygoers and a vivacious atmosphere. The town is one big party scene complete with bars, pubs, nightclubs, karaoke, cabaret and comedy nights, which stay open until sunrise. You get quite a lot of tribute acts here, so be ready to hear some great cover bands and unique impressions of Elton John and The Beatles. Verónicas and the Starco Centre are the primary hubs for a full blown party atmosphere, but if you're looking for a more family-friendly atmosphere, 'The Patch' is your go-to place.

Explore Tenerife’s beautiful beaches

Playa de las Americas boasts six spectacular beaches, each as stunning as the next. The main beach on the resort, Playa de Troya, has soft golden sands that gently slope into the water – a perfect place for a stroll while basking in the sunshine. There are a variety of bars, cafés and restaurants on the beach to keep you entertained, too. While Playa de Guincho is ideal for surfing and windsurfing, the man-made Playa del Camisón charms with its palm-shaded beach and aquamarine waters. Most of the Playa de las Americas beaches offer outdoor activities such as surfing, kayaking and jet-skiing.

Feast on Spanish cuisine

Outstanding restaurants that serve up everything from delicious tapas and Canarian fare to imaginative international cuisines, Playa de las Americas has it all! If you’re after something more authentic, the Torviscas area is a great spot to sample traditional Spanish food. The family restaurants here have tapas selections on the menu, alongside fresh seafood paellas and fine wines.

Day trip to Mount Teide National Park

There’s plenty more to Playa de las Americas than its party scene. Just a 30-minute drive away is the Mount Teide National Park, home to one of the highest volcanoes in the world. Hike your way along the trails or take a cable car ride to the summit, and you’ll be rewarded with magnificent views. Nature lovers can also go on a boat ride to the idyllic island of La Gomera which offers a stunning panorama of the surroundings.
