Playa Paraiso beaches

Playa Paraiso is located on the south-west coast of Tenerife, approximately 8 kilometres north of the busy holiday resort Playa de las Americas.

Playa Paraiso beaches
Playa Paraiso has three small beaches, all located in small rocky bays. The best of the three beaches is called Las Galgas, but is usually referred to as Playa Paraiso. It is located right between the large family-friendly hotels Riu Buena Vista Clubhotel and Roca Nivaria Hotel.

This beach was recently completely renovated and was in this connection supplied with new sand. The sun lounges, sunshades and showers are also new.

The two other beaches have gravel and pebbles. Close to one of them, Playa el Pinque, there is a giant sea water pool called Lago Paraiso (see picture below).
