There are 2 main tourist resorts in Tenerife called Playa De Las Americas and Los Cristianos, based in the south of the Island.  However, if you venture further afield, there are many other regions that tourists as well as locals like to visit for a variety of reasons.

Bright and exciting, this area is a pleasure seeker’s paradise and heaven for the sun worshippers.

Destination Tenerife had the chance of an exclusive interview with Christoph Kiessling, of Siam Park. He is personally overseeing all the final details of the park as we write this - so an opening date should be imminent.

How did the idea for Siam Park first come about?

We opened Loro Parque in Puerto de la Cruz as 35 years ago that was the town with the most tourism. Now the number of tourists has increased greatly in the south of the island, so people are demanding leisure activities here and we couldn´t sit back and just wait for somebody else to create something, so we started making plans ourselves. We needed to offer something different to Loro Parque and because we enjoy a nice climate throughout the whole year, we decided to build a unique water park. Siam Park is really a theme park that transports people into the ancient Kingdom of Siam and offers amazing attractions for all ages to enjoy.

There are many hotels in Tenerife of varying standards throughout the Island.

In the centre of many of the main tourist areas of Tenerife you may find that the star rating of the hotels is a little lower, and this is reflected in the price.

However, even in Playa De Las Americas itself, there are still several 5 star resorts, and in the sub district of Costa Adeje you will find a large selection of luxurious 5 star hotels, many offering accommodation on an all inclusive basis. (more...)

Tenerife is well known for its bustling club scene throughout the south of the Island, most famously in Playa De Las Americas and Los Cristianos. There are several smaller clubs in some Spanish areas, and Santa Cruz has a very vibrant club scene in the North if Tenerife. (more...)

Tenerife is a shopper’s paradise.

Apart from the local markets, there is a wide variety of shops on the island that cater for all tastes.

The obvious choices of goods include wines and spirits and cigarettes and cigars. These are considerably cheaper than the UK priced items, but please remember your customs allowance. (more...)

There are many beaches throughout the coastlines of Playa De Las Americas and Los Cristianos, the main tourist areas of Tenerife, which cater to both tourists and locals that enjoy the sun and sea near to all of the local bars and cafes along the shore.

However, if you prefer to go a little further afield, there are many great beaches in Tenerife that avoid the usual tourist trap and offer a variety of water sports and scenic views. (more...)
