Popular Things To Do In Playa De Las Americas
Troya Beach (Playa de Troya)
No holiday to Playa de las Americas is complete without a day trip to the beach. Whether Troya Beach, Las Americas or Playa de el Bobo near Costa Adeje, spending time on the sand is the best.
Boat Trips
There are lots of boat trips you can take, from a party boat with friends, to dolphin and whale watching trips. Many will organise a transfer to pick you up from your hotel and take you to the marina.
Promenade Walk
Walking along the promenade here, running from Los Cristianos all the way past Costa Adeje, is lovely, especially in the early morning while it's still quiet, the palm trees rustle in the breeze and the temperature is cool.
Shopping
There is plenty of shopping in Las Americas to enjoy, with lots of boutique stores along the seafront, holiday shops with beach towels and dresses and much more. Or you could jump on the bus to Siam Mall.
Getting to, from and around Playa De Las Americas
Tenerife South airport is the nearest airport to Playa de las Americas (flying into Tenerife North airport will add a good 30-45 minutes onto your journey), with pretty much all direct UK flights flying into the south. Airlines like Ryanair, Jet2 and easyJet fly from UK regional airports like Belfast, Newcastle and Bristol too. Once you arrive, there are a number of options to get from the airport to Las Americas.
Coach Transfers
Many flight inclusive packages will include coach transfers, mainly with TUI and Jet2holidays, and if yours doesn't, it's a cheap way to get to your hotel. It's worth booking this in advance when you book your holiday.
Taxi
A taxi is another option, taking about 20 minutes and the journey will cost around €30-35 each way. This is obviously more expensive but does give you more freedom.
Public Transport
There is a local bus that leaves from outside the main airport terminal and takes you into Playa de las Americas for around €4 per person. Sundays aren't as frequent but if you don't mind waiting around, this can be very cheap, especially if you're travelling alone.
Car Hire
If you sometimes get a little bored by the pool, hiring a car can be a great way to get out and explore the island. You probably don't really need one to get around the town but if you wanted to hire a car from the airport, this is affordable when booking in advance, otherwise you can pick up a hire car close to your hotel, if not at your hotel. Explore the coast here by heading up to Las Gigantes, or around to Golf del Sur, or head up into Teide National Park, as long as you're okay with heights!
Weather In Playa De Las Americas
Like the rest of the Canary Islands, the weather in Las Americas is generally pretty good all year round. Being in the south of the island, you'll have more sunny days than towns in the north of Tenerife like Puerto de la Cruz or Santa Cruz. Temperatures will vary from late teens to late 20s during the year. In winter, be sure to bring a jumper for the evenings, while in summer, the temperature can reach 30+ in July and August.
Restaurants In Playa De Las Americas
Las Americas spans quite a way so depending on where you are will determine where to eat. In the south, the Hard Rock Cafe is a popular spot for some family food, while the stretch of restaurants and cafes along the seafront at Playa del Camison are great for people watching. The stretch of restaurants opposite Playa de las Americas beach serve up fair standard fair, this is where you'll also find places like McDonald's and Aberdeen Steak House. For somewhere with a little "wow", Papagayo Beach Club can have some great beats at sunset, while the Monkey Beach Club further up also gives great sunset vibes.
