Things To Do
Dance the night away
If you want to enjoy a good night out then Playa de las Americas is probably the best place to visit on the island of Tenerife. Across the resort you’ll find plenty of bars and restaurants as well as clubs where you can dance until the early hours.
Siam Park
Playa de las Americas is near to the popular Siam Park waterpark, which can be accessed via a free shuttle service that operates in the resort. The park is home to various slides that are suitable for all ages as well as a large wave pool, and is regarded as one of the best in Europe.
Search for dolphins
The waters off the coast around Playa de las Americas are popular with dolphins so a trip out to sea to try and spot the creatures playing in their natural environment is a must. There are various boats that operate trips so you’ll have plenty of options to chose from.
Light and Music fountain
The light and music fountain in the heart of Playa de las Americas plays a series of shows every evening that last for around 20 minutes. Grab a drink in one of the surrounding bars and you’ll be able to sit back and enjoy the display at leisure.
Mount Teide
A trip from Playa de las Americas to the Mount Tiede National Park provides the chance to tackle a range of different walking trails, whilst those who prefer to take things a bit easier can board a cable car that provides a route to the summit to take in the surrounding views.
Make a catch
As well as being a great place to watch dolphins playing in the water, the sea off the coast of Playa de las Americas is also a good place to try your hand at deep-water fishing. Find yourself a boat offering trips from the harbour and head off to try your luck at reeling in a catch.
