Playa de las Américas
The liveliest seaside resort in the south, with artificial beaches, surf spots, hotels and nightlife concentrated in one place; the main base for winter sun-seekers.
Playa de las Américas is a resort built since the 1960s along the southern Arona coast. The coastline has several artificial beaches, including Playa de Troya and Playa del Camisón. The surf breaks beyond the rocky shoreline suit surfers, and surf schools run year-round. The seaside promenade runs north to Playa del Duque, lined with hotels, bars, restaurants and shopping centres, and the Veronicas nightclub street is the island's nightlife hub. This area gets the most sunshine and least rain on the island, and winter temperatures still exceed 20°C. It is also a main departure port for whale and dolphin watching, and the Siam Park water park is nearby. Transport: about 20 minutes by car from the south airport. TITSA buses run to Santa Cruz and the main sights.
