Overview
Basking in the glorious sun from the coast of Africa, daytime delights here can include mingling with dolphins, indulging in some serious watersports, or flexing your plastic friend in the countless duty free shops. By night 'Playa' is packed with vibrant bars and pubs.
Although a Spanish Isle, Tenerife is closer to Africa than Spain at just 90 miles to the African Coast. But there is nothing African about Tenerife. This, the largest of the Canary Island cluster is ALL Spanish, everything you would expect of a lively Spanish holiday resort! Tenerife's biggest resort, the fabulous Playa de las Americas has always got something going on. From a chilled out cruise at sea, spotting dolphins and whales to a lively beach party on the volcanic sands of Torviscas beach or the golden sands in nearby Los Cristianos. Then at night get your party shoes on because BOY does this place come alive. Anything goes here from karaoke to R&B to funk and the odd euphoric anthem thrown in for good measure. With over 100 bars located between the two main areas of 'Playa'; Veronicas and Starcos, there is plenty to keep you occupied.

Beaches
Let the battle of the rays commence. Every year from May onwards Torviscas beach gets pretty packed which is not surprising considering the excellent weather in Tenerife. The shingle shorelines and black sands here are some of the best in the south of the island, ranging from the black sands of Torviscas beach to the Golden sands of Los Cristianos a short walk away.
