Playa de Las Americas
If you haven't heard of Playa de las Americas, you are probably not of this world! Renowned far and wide as a top European holiday hotspot, the infrastructure here lacks nothing. Playa de las Americas is located in the south of Tenerife and is only around 15 minutes from the airport! From the wide rim of dark sand beach (remember the volcanic deposits of Mount Teide) to the bordering promenade, the area fairly buzzes with activity.
There are lots of water sports on offer or naturally simply lying completely prone on a sun lounger from dawn to dusk is another tempting option! A huge selection of shops, malls, bars, cafes and restaurants populate the town, and the resort just does not seem to sleep. If you fancy something more laid back, stroll into nearby Los Cristianos and sip a drink at a pavement cafe and just watch the world go by.
Playa de las Americas is a lively area known for its vibrant nightlife! The nightlife options in Playa de las Americas Tenerife are legendary. The "Veronicas" strip in Playa is where it all seems to happen when the disco lights brighten, and the bars fill up with happy holidaymakers. From early evening, the promenade is busy as people stroll about looking for somewhere to enjoy a drink or an evening meal. Decisions, decisions - the selection is vast. One thing certain here though is that it is virtually impossible to be bored. It is Tenerife's largest and liveliest resort. Playa de las Americas truly delivers, and you will have a brilliant Tenerife holiday here!
