Beaches
Playa Paraiso has several small and sheltered sandy beaches. There are also many different little rocky beaches you can take a dip from. One of the beaches here has also been transformed into the Hard Rock beach club. So whether you are looking for a relaxed small quiet beach or a more lively beach-club vibe, you can find it here.
Hotels
- The Hard Rock hotel Tenerife is the newest one of these. It’s a nice new modern hotel for a cool unique vibe holiday and great if you enjoy taking selfies of yourself apparently. Seriously, I have never seen so many people take selfies of themself at the same time!
- For a family-friendly hotel with great entertainment, the Riu Buenavista is a great choice.
- Adrian Roca Nivaria is the best option for a luxury modern holiday in this area.
Nightlife
Playa Paraiso is a small compact resort with not many bars or clubs, so it isn’t the right place if you want to go clubbing here. They sometimes have events and parties at the Hard Rock lagoon, but these are primarily during the day and early evening.

Bars & restaurants
In this area, you will find a pretty random selection of restaurants. Most offer fair prices, but most people generally seem to choose to eat in the hotel. Heading over to the Callao Salvaje area, a short walk away, there is a lovely beach restaurant overlooking the ocean that offers live music and entertainment most nights, so it might be worth a visit one night if you are looking to eat out.

Shopping
There are not many places to go shopping in this area. However, if you need anything urgently, most of the hotel lobbies have a bit of fashion and touristy things for sale. Still, if you want to do some serious shopping, you should look at the Costa Adeje or Playa de las Americas areas that you can reach by bus, taxi, or car. For deals in Tenerife, Santa Cruz is the best place to find actual, local prices and not the somewhat overpriced tourist stores you see in the South of Tenerife.
Things to do near Playa Paraiso
Playa Paraiso is technically located in the Costa Adeje but not the Costa Adeje most people know. It is a little bit away from everything. So because of this, I would definitely advise you to rent a car as I did during my Tenerife holiday. If not, you will be more or less stuck in Playa Paraiso and miss out on the many things you can do nearby but are not easily reached by public bus.
You could also go on an organized excursion to these places, but since it is so cheap to rent a car in Tenerife, I would advise this instead. You can easily rent a car for an entire week with fully comprehensive insurance for less than 90 euros a week and often even cheaper. Like this, it will be easy to visit Siam Park, Teide and many lovely beaches in this area.
