The climate of Playa de las Américas (Canary
Islands / Spain)
Together with Los Cristianos Playa de las Americas is one of the
oldest seaside resorts on the Canary Islands. Project developers
already saw the potential of this part of Tenerife decades ago.
Summers are pleasantly warm without getting too hot. During the winter
the weather is mild and most days are sunny. This makes this part of
the island very suitable as a winter sun destination. The winter is
actually the high season here; many Spaniards as well as other
Europeans stay here during the winter to escape from the cold of the
continent. Playa de las Americas is situated in the driest and
sunniest part of Tenerife. Chances of a cloudy or rainy day are small.
This is also why Playa de las Americas is popular among tourists. In
the northern part the city almost seamlessly merges together with the
more luxurious Costa Adeje. In the east the city directly borders Los
Cristianos.

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression
of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain
period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather,
extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate
information for each month of the year:
