Playa de las Américas is the party capital of island, with the action centred around the 1km strip known as Verónicas. Here you’ll find countless nightclubs, cabaret bars, live music venues and restaurants, and generally music pumping and people dancing in the streets. Our recommended hotels, including Sol Tenerife and Paradise Park, offer easy access to it all. Gran Canaria offers a similarly buzzing evening atmosphere. Playa del Ingles is littered with nightclubs, bars and restaurants, as well as great beaches and the nearby golf courses at Maspalomas and Meloneras.
