Playa de Las Américas is a busy resort on the south coast of Tenerife with a reputation for being the place to party on the island. Revellers flock to this energetic town to enjoy the vibrant nightlife and fun-filled celebrations. Besides all the merry-making, this hotspot boasts several stretches of long golden sandy beaches that draw in the crowds looking for a day of sunshine and relaxation. 

The main beach here has calm waters and is a haven for holidaymakers throughout the year. Children play, couples walk hand in hand on the shore and groups of friends hang out. 

Facilities are excellent, kiosks selling refreshing drinks and ice-creams line the sand and you will even find volleyball nets if you are feeling energetic. 

And if want to try out some water sports, there is a wide variety on offer with plenty of shops hiring out equipment like surfboards, wetsuits and snorkelling gear. In addition, boat excursions are also available; from spending a day on a pirate ship to taking a cruise along the coast on a catamaran. Perhaps you would like a dolphin and whale-watching trip? Or maybe journey to the bottom of the ocean on a submarine safari? 

Playa de las Américas is a perfect place for a day trip before heading back to the sanctuary of your luxury hotel destination. Check out the finest establishments from our recommended list around the island, all offering competitive prices.
