Tenerife’s nightlife kicks off in Playa de las Américas, where the pavement outside **Tramps Tenerife** is already sticky by midnight. This is the island’s main party strip, a straight shot of open-air clubs, shot bars, and British-style pubs that don’t wind down until sunrise. Hostels cluster within a ten-minute walk of the action, so you can roll out of bed and into the queue without missing last entry.
Most budget spots are small: think eight to twenty beds: so the vibe is more house party than mega-hostel. **Los Amigos Nest Hostel** on Calle México packs a communal kitchen and a terrace that fills up by 9 p.m. with travellers planning the night ahead. If you want sand between your toes by day and a bar crawl by night, Costa Adeje is the other hotspot, with beachfront hostels that put you steps from the island’s biggest clubs.

Great social hostel with fun social activities. Every Wednesday they have All-you-can-eat BBQ. Late afternoon, you can enjoy free yoga classes, or just chill by the pool with other travellers. Friendly staff also organize a group hiking, snorkelling, paragliding, surfing, and other activities. After a super cool day spent with other backpackers, enjoy four favourite drink in one of the bars and clubs nearby.
Lagarto Backpackers is perfect for travellers who want to meet new people and make new friendships. Outstanding backyard with a nice pool and BBQ area is perfect for bonding with other backpackers. Table tennis tournaments and themed dinner nights are regular on the menu. Free breakfast is served every morning in a beautiful open-air area.
Brilliant party hostel in Costa Adeje's buzzing heart, metres from the beach and surrounded by endless bars and nightlife. The jacuzzi becomes a social hotspot whilst barbecue gatherings bring everyone together. The unique basement wine cellar creates the perfect party venue for backpackers ready to explore Tenerife's legendary nightlife scene.
Organised nights out with a local guide
A guided tour of Playa de las Américas’ best bars and clubs. The crawl visits four venues, including a mix of shot bars and late-night clubs. Free shots and drink discounts are included at each stop. The group meets at 10 p.m. outside **The Beer Box** on Calle México.
How Tenerife's nightlife zones break down
The epicentre of Tenerife’s nightlife, this strip runs along the coast from Troya to Los Cristianos. Avenida Rafael Puig Lluvina is the main drag, lined with clubs, shot bars, and late-night kebab shops. By day, the black-sand beaches fill up with sunbathers.
A more upscale area, with beachfront resorts and high-end clubs like Pacha. The promenade is quieter than Playa de las Américas but still has a few backpacker hostels within walking distance of the party. Good for those who want sand and superclubs in the same night.
The island’s capital, 45 minutes by bus from the south. Nightlife here is more local: think tapas bars and live music venues. The area around Plaza de España is lively, with street performers and pop-up cocktail stalls. Less touristy, but still fun if you want a break from the backpacker scene.
Where the hostel pub crawls end up, and where to go on your own
The main room plays commercial chart hits and reggaeton, while the terrace spins house and techno. Entry is €10 after midnight, which includes a vodka mixer. The crowd is 18–30, mostly British and Scandinavian backpackers. Expect a queue from 1 a.m. on Fridays.
Daytime is sunbeds and DJ sets; after 6 p.m. it turns into a proper club with lasers and bottle service. Entry is free before 8 p.m., then €15. Cocktails cost €8–10. Dress code is smart-casual: no flip-flops after dark.
A craft-beer bar with 20 taps and a fridge full of international bottles. Happy hour runs 5–7 p.m., with €3 pints. The crowd is a mix of locals and travellers, and the staff let you sample before you buy. No cover charge.
A two-floor club with cheesy throwbacks upstairs and reggaeton downstairs. Entry is €5 before midnight, €10 after. The dance floor gets packed by 1 a.m., and the crowd is mostly 20-something Europeans. Free shot with every entry.
A surf-themed bar with live music most nights: acoustic sets until 10 p.m., then DJs until 3 a.m. Entry is free, and beers cost €3–4. The terrace is dog-friendly, so expect a few four-legged regulars.
The island’s biggest superclub, with three rooms and international guest DJs. Entry is €20–30, depending on the night. Dress sharp: door staff turn away trainers and shorts. The crowd is older (25+) and more mixed than the backpacker bars.
A smaller, sweaty club that plays techno and hard house. Entry is €10, which includes a drink. The crowd is mostly locals and seasoned clubbers. Open until 6 a.m. on Saturdays: one of the few places that doesn’t shut at 3.
