Playa De Las Americas

From scenic strolls to neon-lit nights, Playa De Las Americas holidays are always a crowd-pleaser. Beach-hop between the six sandy beaches or take the mini-train along the coastline. Enjoy a wild day out at Siam Park with our Experience More hotels. Or grab your friends and ride the banana boats for the ultimate thrill.

Los Cristianos

Sunbathe on the gold Saharan sands of Playa de las Vistas or take a dip in the calm waters at Los Cristianos Beach. Shop until you drop at the beautifully designed Parque Santiago VI shopping centre. If adventure’s your thing, hop aboard a ferry to the neighbouring islands of La Gomera, La Palma and El Hierro.

Foodies can make the most of the delightful dishes available on this Tenerife holiday. Indulge in fresh seafood at a harbourside restaurant and dine on local tapas along the promenade. Looking for nightlife? Head to the bars and clubs of Centro Comercial San Telmo for cheap drinks and thumping beats.

Puerto de la Cruz

Situated at the top of Tenerife, you’ll be dazzled by Puerto de la Cruz’s traditional Spanish charm. You can stroll down the cobbled streets of La Orotava to discover local island life. Enjoy a meal overlooking the Orotava valley at El Monastario’s authentic restaurant, before wandering through its stunning grounds.

While there’s plenty to explore, you can also savour some well-earned relaxation. Lounge on the black sands of Playa Jardin, surrounded by exotic botanical gardens. Or, unwind at Lago Martianez, a lido complex combining seawater pools with an open-air museum of contemporary art. The options are endless in Puerto de la Cruz.

Los Gigantes

Love an adventure? Look no further than Los Gigantes. Overlooking the town and harbour, the dramatic 'Cliffs of the Giants' provide ample opportunity to explore Tenerife’s landscapes. Experienced hikers can follow the Masca walking trail for close-up views of the cliffs. After a great photo opportunity? Head to nearby Mirador Archipenque for an inspiring panorama.

When you need to take a break, Los Gigantes Port is the ideal place to return to. Bag a table outside for a light refreshment and some tasty tapas. Or venture beyond the marina for some live music and comedy in the local bars – the perfect pick-me-up.

Playa Paraiso

You’re in for some serious seaside fun on a Playa Paraiso holiday. Boasting tranquil beaches and good times guaranteed, this sun-soaked scene is great for everyone.

During your stay in Playa Paraiso, why not make the most of the brilliant diving facilities and try your hand at some underwater exploration? Keep an eye out for turtles and starfish as you trace the seabed around Tenerife’s west coast – an amazing holiday memory.

Golf del Sur

So, hire some clubs or bring your own and get set for 27 holes of tricky water obstacles and deep black-sand bunkers.

But don’t worry, there’s more to this Tenerife resort than just the golf courses! Wander through the impressive scenes of vast cliffs and sweeping ocean or catch some rays around your hotel’s pool. Plus, in the evenings, the bars and restaurants lay on gastronomic delights and live music.
