Papagayo Tenerife: the door and the two rooms
By day a seafront terrace, by night the club with the most nights on our agenda. Papagayo opens from Wednesday to Sunday with a resident party for each night, a main room and a second room, El Nido, and a door that is strict about two things: age and ID.

Papagayo: tell us your dates
Leave your dates: the list sends you the nights that fall on them, and the day new tickets open.
Two rooms, two tickets
The main room hosts the five resident nights: Move On on Wednesdays, Follow on Thursdays, La Loka on Fridays, Essence on Saturdays and the Sunday party, sold as Piknik. El Nido is smaller and more intimate, with a programme of its own; on our agenda it hosts Glow Night on Sundays.
Each ticket opens its own room only. If you want both, you need two tickets.
The door
Over-18s only, with no exceptions: no wristbands, no special permits, not even with an adult. Bring a physical DNI, NIE or passport; a photo or scan on your phone is not accepted.
The dress code is casual. Smart shorts are fine; cargo trousers, tracksuit bottoms and football shirts are not. Last entry on the main-room nights is 1:00, and later arrivals pay the difference at the door.
Papagayo does not run guest lists or free tickets, and its tickets do not include a drink.
Before the club opens
From midday the terrace is open to the sea, with resident DJs at talking volume and no booking needed; there is no pool and there are no sunbeds. The restaurant, AWA, is on the top floor, and spending at least 50 € per person on dinner includes entry to the club. During the day, under-18s are welcome on the terrace and in the restaurant.
If you live on the island, the club runs a Residents Club for Tenerife residents, with reduced entry on some nights.

Tenerife Guide
Before the night
Festivals & big dates
New Year's Eve in Tenerife 2026: the night of 31 December, island-wide
Tenerife sees in 2027 on a Thursday night, with a day off to follow. The town councils announce their squares, chimes and fireworks in December, so this page starts with what is already official: the clubs that have announced their New Year's Eve, the Christmas taxi fare, the bus and tram that run through the night, and how warm the night is likely to be.
Arrivals & transport
Tenerife South airport to Playa de las Américas and Los Cristianos, by bus or taxi
Two official options link Tenerife South airport (TFS) with Los Cristianos and Playa de las Américas: TITSA buses from the terminal and metered taxis from the rank. By day you want line 40; from 23:00, the night line 711 takes over. Here are the timetables, stops, tickets and the official taxi tariff, exactly as published.
After dark
What to wear for a night out in Tenerife, night by night
No club in the south of Tenerife asks for a jacket and tie. What changes from door to door is a short list of things that keep you outside, and the one night when the colour itself is the rule. Here is what each venue publishes, checked against its own website and ticket pages.
