The king of clubbing

The typical after-dark action you’re likely imagining is most often found in the big resorts like Playa De Las Americas.

The party kingdom here is crowned by Tramps Tenerife, naming itself the ‘King of Clubs’, and promising visitors who play their cards right an intense night.

The decks of top DJs from across the globe send beats thudding over dancing crowds under swathes of hot neon.

Sounds range from club classics to more out-there offerings like future-funk and experimental electronica.

Old school hip-hop nights and even a dedicated Coco Bongo area for cheesy pop mean the music is always on point. And you can expect this place to be busy every day of the week.

A mix of quiet pints and banging tunes

If you prefer a little more intimacy to your outings though, neighbouring Los Cristianos focuses more on live music and pub banter over pints.

A venue like Cobbler Cocktail & Gastrobar is where you go to check out the local live music talent, with a fantastic gig atmosphere that always sets the scene.

Don’t be fooled though, because Los Cristianos can give you some club life too – dance to techno at the Wild Side to see what we mean.

Tips and tricks

Nobody likes a buzzkill, but there are a few things worth keeping in mind to make sure your party in Tenerife is a night to remember, rather than one you’re keen to forget.
