Playa De Las Americas

Los Cristianos, practically an extension of Playa de las Americas, has an extensive beach of golden sands, opposite the harbour, from where you can get a boat to La Gomera or El Hierro. The harbour is still a fairly important fishing harbour.

Over the last 30 years Las Americas has developed from a handful of hotels around a man-made beach to one of Europe’s largest and liveliest package holiday resorts.

The sprawling resort is situated on the south west coast of Tenerife and is packed with high-rise hotels, apartment blocks and tourists in search of sun, sand and sangria.

There are several good beaches nearby, lots of attractions and activities, a vast choice of bars and restaurants and the some of the best nightlife in the Canary Islands. Those looking for a quieter resort can stay in Los Cristianos, just a 25 minute walk away, or a short taxi or bus ride.
