Arguably the most popular resort in Tenerife, Playa de Las Americas has long been a favourite amongst young travellers looking for some heady nightlife, as well as families in search of plenty to see and do. A lively place to visit at any time of year, this resort has it all – stunning beaches, a plethora of activities and attractions, a vast selection of shops, bars, restaurants and nightclubs and a fantastic variety when it comes to accommodation.

Playa de Las Americas is located in the south of the island along the coast and therefore offers a number of beaches - everything from characteristic volcanic black sand bays to man-made golden sandy beaches. Almost all of the beaches come with fantastic services and facilities, with several of the bays boasting Blue Flag awards.
