Playa De Las Americas Holiday Deals
A year-round perfect fit
Tenerife is just a four hours’ direct flight from UK airports, which goes a long way to explaining the island’s popularity with UK holidaymakers.
Here, you’ll find families building sandcastles, friends dipping in and out of designer boutiques and the more adventurous holidaymakers taking part in watersports and all kinds of adrenaline fueled activities on offer. Then there’s spectacular stretches of sand, ripe for laying out your towel and letting go of all your thoughts.

Being part of the Canary Islands, and sat so close to the coast of Africa, your Playa De Las Americas holiday will be basking in sunshine all year round. It’s hottest between July to September where temperatures go above 25℃, and even from December to March they’re still hovering around 20℃ – goodbye UK winter and hello to winter sun! This also means you get the best of both worlds in the winter, a warm climate, fewer crowds and best of all, cheap holidays to Playa De Las Americas.
Tenerife’s best nightspot
Tenerife’s nightlife may not be as well know as the likes of Ibiza, or Ayia Napa, but they certainly know how to throw a party here. Your Playa De Las Americas holidays are the prime of nightlife in Tenerife and this resort really comes to life.
Playa de las Americas is a hotspot for young couples, groups and anyone looking to dance the night away with a cheap holiday to Tenerife. Las Americas’ dozens of bars provide bucket loads of fun for all tastes and ages. In fact, there are even party boats that bring revellers to the resort from the neighbouring Canary Islands to enjoy the after-hours atmosphere here – that’s how impressive it is!
The infamous Tramps nightclub dubs itself ‘The King of Clubs’ and every night is a Saturday night here. The club plays host to world famous DJs like Judge Jules, Tom Zanetti, and many more. Also based in the Starco Centre is Lineker’s, which shows live sport during the day, and Mett Bar, which are both firm favourites with clubbers.
If top dance DJs are your thing then visit in August to experience the Arona Festival. Bringing 12 hours of dance music from the likes of Pendulum and Nicky Romero to the Domíngez Alfonso Olympic Stadium, it’s a seriously fun experience.
The bars and clubs of the Patch are still just as atmospheric and lively, but offer more than just booming clubs and bars. There are some great beach bars around this area where you can enjoy food, mojitos and chilled out music, or there’s karaoke bars, and venues with in house entertainment.
Daytime activities
If you’re not sleeping off a hangover there’s plenty of things to do during the day, including a leisurely day spent looking through the shopping rails of the Safari Shopping Centre. Here, there’s a plethora of designer boutiques including Armani and Hugo Boss with tax free prices – whether you’re looking to spend some money or not, it’s a great way to make the most of some time in the shade.
For a change of scenery and to enjoy some green space, look no further than the abundance of golf courses available around the Las Americas’ neighbouring resorts. These well-kept courses provide the experience to drive a shot down the fairway beside views of the clear blue ocean and a snow-capped mountain. It’s relaxing yet active, and a great excuse to polish off those skills – or learn a new one.
What’s more, boat trips are readily available, ranging from a fun day on a pirate ship to cruising stylishly on a catamaran, or taking a submarine safari or even floating out to see the dolphins and whales.
On holiday in Playa De Las Americas, a trip to the vast and beautiful Mount Teide is certainly a must. It provides a stunning backdrop across the island, but up close, the mountain and its surrounding national park are perfect for exploring. Scheduled buses leave Las Americas to take you to the base, where you can jump on a cable car that takes you high above the clouds to gaze across the beautiful turquoise sea and the rest of Tenerife.
The famous Siam Park
Of course, a highlight to Tenerife is the famous Siam Park. Home to around 40 different rides, flumes and shoots it’s a seriously fun day out for all. Whether you’re super daring and want to hit the Tower of Power, or just want to leisurely bob around the Lazy River, definitely put it on your to do list.
There’s several food joints dotted around the park so you can keep those energy levels topped up, but there’s picnic areas too if you’re looking to keep the cost down and take your own. Free buses leave every half an hour to Siam Park, from Playa De las Americas, Los Cristianos and Costa Adeje so it really doesn’t have to be an expensive day out – book your tickets online prior to travel and you don’t have to include it in your holiday budget!

Joining together with Los Cristianos, you’ve got the choice of six quality beaches, with a succession of black or gold sand crescents. You’ll also find some of the best hotels dotted along the beaches too – and the views are incredible.
The palm-lined El Camison beach is great for families as it has calm seas sheltered by breakwaters and there’s good access for prams and mobility scooters. Troya beach is a more lively pick and has plenty of places to eat, drink and shop. If you’re feeling extra energetic you can also go snorkelling, banana boat riding or even try your hand at surfing.
If you fancy a bit of exploring, you could head a little further up the coast to one of the Playa De Las Americas quieter spots. El Puertito beach is a small, rustic beach covered in black volcanic sand and offers a bit more seclusion and quiet.

If you’re looking for something familiar, head to the beachfront where you’ll find plenty of menus with pizzas, steak and roast dinners on offer – even the fussiest of eaters will be satisfied.
Although, if you fancy trying some authentic Canarian food, further back from the seafront you can find delicious fresh seafood, stews and more unusual ingredients such as goat or rabbit.
