Things to do
Entertainment
There are many new bars and clubs opening up in Tenerife. Tenerife is trying to improve on its general image of being just a party island. There are several new places that offer amazing decor and classy surroundings.
There are still plenty of party places left but its nice that finally there is something for everyone.
You can always tell a good bar if the locals drink in it!
There is a variety of entertainment going on amongst the bars throughout Las Americas and los Christianos. From Country and Western, Elvis, Blues Brothers and lots lots more. Its a case of exploring them to find something you like.
For a chilled evening take a bus or taxi (even walk around the coast) to Los Christianos and head for the shopping plaza Safari where you can get great food or sit in the gorgeous bars like Harry's Bar or the Magic lounge and take in the ambience. Or check out the beautiful nightclub El Faro in Torviscas which is a short taxi ride from the villa and well worth a visit.
For daytime entertainment, the island offers a wide range of activities such as; diving, windsurfing, sailing, go-karting, zoo's, trekking/walking, mountain biking and even mountaineering. There are 2 large water parks both of which are within walking distance from the villa. One even boasts to be the best water park in Europe, Siam Park. Aqualand is the other.
If you can get to Tenerife for the Carnival season in February you must take a trip to the city of Santa Cruz to see the main parade (see photo above) It is a truly spectacular sight, with young and old dressed in amazing outfits dancing through the street.
Las Americas & Los Christianos
The villa is set in a quieter area of Las Americas in an area called San Eugenio Alto. It is just above the aqua park but is within easy reach of the beach, shopping, restaurants and bar areas. It is approximately a 20 minute walk to the beaches and resorts of Torviscas and Puerto Colon.
It is perfectly situated as it’s near enough to easily access all the amenities but away from the bustle of the lower resorts. The walk to the beach etc is downhill so if you have young children or people who struggle with walking up hill we suggest you get a taxi back up to the property which costs approx 4 euro’s.
There are several shops, restaurants and bars within walking distance to the villa. There are a number of well stocked small supermarkets as well as a couple of beauty salons and hairdressers all within 10 min walk of the property.
The new Siam water park has just opened. It boasts being Europe’s biggest water theme park. You can walk to the park within 15 minutes from the villa. Another of Tenerife’s favourite water parks, Aqualand, is only 15 minutes walk away too.
Nowhere is very far in Tenerife. The capital Santa Cruz is a 45 minute drive, Puerto de la Cruz is the furthest away and takes about 1 hour 15 mins. Masca is about a 40 minute drive away and mount Tiede 50 minutes. Then there are places like the chilled El Medeno that are only about 15 minutes drive.
Costa Adeje Golf course is only a 10 minute drive from the villa.
