Tenerife after dark
This is the part of the night that doesn't fit on a ticket. Each venue on our calendar has its own door, its own sound and its own pace, and the articles here gather what each one publishes about them: the clothes each door asks for and the ones that can cost you entry, the minimum age and the physical document you need, Papagayo's three house nights and how they differ, and the terraces, rooftop and dinners for a slower night as a couple. Everything comes from the venues' own pages and the ticket pages, with the date we checked them. For the clubs themselves, area by area, start with Tenerife's nightlife; for the door in short answers, see our questions.

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.

Mala Mía Tenerife: what time to go, which night to pick and how to get back
Mala Mía has the latest last entry and the latest closing time on our whole agenda, and that changes how you plan the night. Three decisions matter: which day you go, getting in before the door stops, and how you get back at dawn. The address and full date list are on the Mala Mía page; this guide covers the rest.

Monkey Beach Club Tenerife: what it's like, its parties and how to get there and back
There are really two Monkey Beach Clubs: the one that serves dinner facing La Gomera, and the one whose stage has been running parties since 2007. This guide covers what's inside, what's on at which time of year and how to get home. The door in brief is on the Monkey Beach Club page.

Monkey Beach Club, The White Party on Thursdays: what it is, its hours and the late charge
Playa de Troya has one night with a colour rule. The official information on it is short, so here's everything it does say, what it leaves out, and what the rest of the venue's rules add. For the rest of the club, see our guide to Monkey Beach Club.

OA Beach Club: the four zones by day and the Saturday Tenerife Beach Party
OA stands for Océano Atlántico, and the hotel that runs it describes an open-air daytime concept on the beachfront rather than a nightclub. This guide covers how its four zones work, when each one opens and how the Saturday party fits in. The quick facts are on the OA Beach Club page.

Papagayo Tenerife: what time to go, last entry and what the door checks
Papagayo has two rooms, five resident nights and a door that makes no exceptions, so the hour you turn up changes what you get. This is the practical side: when to arrive, how tickets work, what to bring and how to get back. For the overview, see the Papagayo page.

Papagayo's reggaeton and hits nights: Move On, La Loka and Glow Night compared
Not every night at Papagayo is house. These three are for reggaeton or for singing along, and they don't share a room, a closing time or even the same door. The house nights have their own article, so here we only compare these.

WILD Los Cristianos: Guayeteo on Wednesdays, Tumbao on Sundays and how to get home
WILD keeps things simple on our agenda: one Wednesday night and one Sunday night, both Latin. Little is published about it, so this guide sticks to its ticket pages and, for the music, its own website. The basics are on the WILD page; here you’ll find what separates the two nights and how to get home.

Age and ID at the door of Tenerife's clubs
Before the music, the door asks two things: how old you are, and whether you can prove it. The Canary Islands set the rule by law; each venue then decides which document it accepts. Here is the law, what every club on our calendar publishes, and what none of them says.

Tenerife nights for two
Not every night has to end at 05:00. The same stretch of seafront that fills the clubs also has a sunset bar, a rooftop and a restaurant above a club, all run by venues on our calendar. Here is how to build a slower night for two, with the hours each place publishes.

Where house music lives in Tenerife
If you came to Tenerife for a kick drum rather than a chorus, our calendar points to one address on the seafront. Papagayo gives three of its five weekly nights to house, each with its own shade, its own residents and its own closing time.
