A Playa de las Americas villa holiday is ideal for all ages

Babies and toddlers

For families with babies and toddlers, visiting out of season is often a popular choice. With guaranteed sunshine, but temperatures dropping a little lower than the peak summer months, heading to the island in winter, spring or autumn means you can miss the crowds and make the most of the comfortable weather conditions.

Playa de las Americas is a favourite among many holidaymakers with small children, thanks to the family-friendly beaches which boast great facilities, soft sands and shallow water. Sun loungers and parasols can also be hired from them, meaning little ones can keep cool and sheltered while playing.

A visit to Aqualand is a great day out spent with loved ones and is an ideal attraction if you are travelling with children of various ages.

The little ones can have a splash in the various pools at the theme park, while the older kids can check out the dolphin show. Teens and grownups can brave the numerous waterslides, ranging from the fun-filled spiral slide to the terrifying high-speed kamikaze.

Teens

Parents hoping to keep their teenagers happy during their stay won't have an issue when they see the wide choice of water sports they can get stuck into. From banana boats and pedalos, to kite boarding and wind surfing, the beaches of Playa de las Americas are a perfect place to take to the water for the first time, with its calm waves and favourable weather conditions.
