By far one of the most popular resorts in Tenerife, Playa de Las Americas is a purpose built holiday resort that provides everything a holidaymaker could want.

There are six beaches, three natural, and three man-made, which offer all the delights of sun, sea and sand. A wide variety of watersports are available, from pleasure cruises to windsurfing or jet skis. Beach volleyball is popular too. When you tire of the beach, there are plenty of alternatives, from golf to bowling. If you're a party person, Playa de Las Americas has the nightlife you're looking for.

Hire an apartment overlooking the promenade that runs the length of the resort, and people watch. Climb on the free bus service to visit the San Eugenio or Toviscas. Or use your holiday apartment or villa in Playa de Las Americas as a base to explore the surrounding area: swim with the dolphins at the water park, try a bungee jump, or explore the crater of the extinct volcano.
