If your idea of paradise involves legendary sunsets, swanky hotels, and a laid-back vibe that hits different, Playa Paraiso holidays are calling your name.
Destination Highlights
Why do people love going on holidays to Playa Paraiso?
It’s home to the iconic Hard Rock Hotel, bringing those boujee Ibiza vibes and rooftop cocktails straight to Tenerife's rugged coast.
Located in the sun-drenched southwest, this spot offers a front-row seat for watching the sun dip behind the island of La Gomera – absolutely stun.
You get a top-tier base that offers a chilled atmosphere for the holibobs, while still being a quick taxi ride from the major party action.
The dining scene is popping off, with everything from traditional Canarian tapas to modern gastronomic experiences that are strictly 10/10.
What is the best time to visit Playa Paraiso?
Tenerife isn't known as the 'Island of Eternal Spring' for nothing; the weather here is basically scorchio all year round. Whether you are looking for a winter warmer to escape the UK grey or a sizzling summer break with the kiddos, holidays to Playa Paraiso deliver the goods. The south of the island is protected by Mount Teide, meaning it stays dry and toasty while the north gets the rain.
Spring - expect temps hovering around 23°C, perfect for getting a base tan without roasting, and the resort feels pleasantly relaxed before the peak rush.
Summer - the mercury hits 28°C+ and the vibe is buzzing; this is prime time for pool parties, Lays crisps on the balcony, and maximum sun hours.
Autumn - the Atlantic ocean is at its warmest after the summer, and with temps still in the mid-20s, it’s a cheeky way to extend your summer glow.
Winter - while the rest of Europe freezes, Playa Paraiso sits at a mild 20-22°C, making it the ultimate destination for a Christmas or New Year getaway.
What are the best beaches to visit on your holidays to Playa Paraíso?
While the coastline here is rugged and rocky (and totally gorge for photos), there are some great spots to lay your towel. Here are the best beaches nearby:
Playa Las Galgas - the local sheltered cove with dark volcanic sand and calm waters, ideal for a chilled dipping session.
Playa El Pinque - a rocky sunbathing spot that’s popular with divers and those who want to avoid sand in their sandwiches.
Playa del Duque - a short drive away, this swanky Blue Flag beach offers golden sands and posh sunbeds for a boujee day out.
Playa Fañabé - located nearby in Costa Adeje, this mahoosive stretch of sand is perfect for watersports and beach bar hopping.
