Papagayo's reggaeton and hits nights: Move On, La Loka and Glow Night compared

In short

On our calendar, Papagayo's reggaeton nights are La Loka on Fridays, in the main room until 05:00, and Glow Night on Sundays, in El Nido until 03:00. Move On, on Wednesdays until 03:00, isn't reggaeton: it's familiar hits and house classics.

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.

Which nights at Papagayo play reggaeton?

La Loka on Fridays and Glow Night on Sundays, in different rooms. Move On, the Wednesday night, goes another way, with hits and house classics.

The club's own programme also has Hija de Fruta on Saturdays in El Nido, labelled latin and reggaeton, with Adrián Denniz and Mike, until 05:00. It isn't on our calendar, but it's there if a Friday isn't enough.

What does Move On play on Wednesdays?

Hits you'll recognise. The club sells it on familiar songs and tags the room as house from the 1990s and 2000s, while the ticket page speaks of funk, house and classic beats.

One DJ carries it: Jacobo Padilla, on every date through 30 December, with 82 nights by the club's own count. It's the earliest finish of the three, at 03:00, and the club says the room fills early, so it's worth being there around the doors at 22:00.

What is La Loka like on a Friday?

It's Papagayo's reggaeton night in the big room: reggaeton, latin and hits, with urban and open format added on the ticket page. It's also the long one, until 05:00.

Mike and Adrián Denniz are the fixtures, with 305 and 225 nights by the club's count. In November each Friday adds a guest: Supreme on 6 November, DREW on 13 November, Jordi Sanz on 20 November and Dj Estro on 27 November. December's dates list no names yet.

Christmas brings two: Nochebuena x La Loka on Thursday 24 December, also until 05:00, and the usual Friday on 25 December. Friday 30 October appears as sold out on the ticket page, and when a date sells out online the club sells none at the door.

What is Glow Night in El Nido?

It's the Sunday reggaeton party in Papagayo's small room, with urban, dembow and Brazilian funk under neon lights. The club's agenda labels it hip-hop, latin and reggaeton.

Its door works differently: the room opens at 23:00 and the ticket page says the door shuts at 00:30, earlier than in the main room. The party ends at 03:00. A Glow ticket opens El Nido only, not the main room, where Freak & Chic plays that same night.

The published dates stop at 29 November; December's programme doesn't list it, and the 2027 dates haven't been published.

Which of the three should you pick?

It comes down to your music and how late you want to stay. For reggaeton until the very end, Friday's La Loka; for the same music on a Sunday in a smaller room, Glow Night.

For songs everyone knows and an earlier night, Move On. If it's the big bass drum you're after, none of these: go to the Thursday, Saturday or Sunday main-room nights in where house music lives in Tenerife. Other venues' reggaeton is in latin nights.

Does the door change from one night to another?

The rules don't: over-18s only, physical ID and casual clothes, with no cargo trousers, tracksuit bottoms or football shirts. What changes is the time limit in the table above, and each ticket opens one room only.

Getting home changes too. After Move On or Glow, TITSA's 711 still leaves Estación Costa Adeje until 04:00; after La Loka, the next is at 05:55. We go through tickets, stops and taxis in what time to go to Papagayo.

Quick answers

What day is La Loka at Papagayo Tenerife?

Friday. It's in the main room with reggaeton, latin and hits, and runs until 05:00, the latest finish at Papagayo. Last entry on the ticket is 01:00. Mike and Adrián Denniz are the residents, usually with a guest. The dates published so far run to 25 December.

What kind of music is Move On at Papagayo?

Familiar hits, on Wednesdays in the main room. The club tags it as house from the 1990s and 2000s, and the ticket page speaks of funk, house and classic beats. Jacobo Padilla is the resident on every date through 30 December. It ends at 03:00, and the club says the room fills early.

Can I use a Glow Night ticket in Papagayo's main room?

No. A Glow Night ticket opens El Nido only, the club says, and a main-room ticket doesn't open El Nido either. If you want Freak & Chic in the main room and Glow on the same Sunday, that's two tickets. Glow's door shuts at 00:30, so don't leave El Nido for last.

Is there a Glow Night in December?

Not on the programme as it stands. The club's agenda lists Glow Night on Sundays up to 29 November and the ticket page shows the same last date; the December Sundays only have Freak & Chic in the main room. The 2027 dates haven't been published, so check again closer to your trip.
