Shop 'til you drop at La Milla De Oro
This shop-lined promenade is the place to be if you're looking to do some shopping (even if it's just the window kind!). Full of bars, cafés and shops selling a bit of everything, it's a great spot to have a wander and kill a few hours in the sunshine.
Take movie night outside
Open-air cinemas are becoming all the rage, but let's be honest - it's not exactly something we can rely on back home (thanks, weather). The one in Playa de las Americas is the only permanent outdoor cinema in Tenerife, showing all the best movies under the stars, and providing two language options for each film, plus comfy headphones so you can really enjoy the experience.
Get your (mini) golf on
Who doesn't love mini golf?! Well, maybe Dad when the kids thrash him again, but it's all about the taking part - right? ViVO Mini Golf Treasure Island is one of the best mini golf courses in Playa de las Americas, with buggy-friendly ramps, miniature clubs for the little ones, shaded picnic tables for a break between holes, and even an on-site bar dishing up delish snacks and drinks. It's open from 9AM 'til midnight too, so you can swing by (see what we did there?) whenever suits.
Make a splash at Siam Park
The infamous Siam Park is just a half-hour walk or 5-minute drive from Playa de las Americas, and it's decked out with rapid rides, lazy rivers, adrenaline-pumping waterslides and wave pools that'll have the whole fam squealing with joy. And don't worry, if you're more of a Bag Watcher (someone's gotta do it!), there are even VIP cabanas where you can chill out in the shade with a glass of champers. Proper boujee.
Spot dolphins (and other finned friends)
Can't go wrong with a bit of dolphin-spotting, and thankfully, Playa de las Americas has plenty of boat trips calling your name. Book yourself onto one that takes your fancy, and you'll be cruising right alongside dolphins, whales and even turtles if you're lucky! It's like a scene from Finding Nemo. Plus, some boat tours even provide food and drinks on board, so you can really get comfy.
Escape the heat
An Escape Room might sound like a weird thing to do on holiday, but why the heck not? It's fun, it's a way to keep cool, and it's proper crowd-pleasing entertainment. Everyone's raving about Escape Rooms Island Phobia (seriously, check out their TripAdvisor page), decked out with six high-quality escape rooms - including a Jumanji-themed room, a horror-themed room, and a bank robbery set-up. So...up to the challenge?
