Some of the best beaches in the Canary Islands are just four miles (six km) away at Papagayo Beach.The resort is mainly geared for families and couples looking for a relaxing time either on one of the beaches or wandering around the promenade looking to do some shopping. While Playa Blanc doesn’t offer the same variety of nightlife as Puerto del Carmen, visitors can still party well into the early hours in the disco and karaoke bars located at Centro Comercial Papagayo or Centro Comercial Punta Limones. Locals come out to play on Friday and Saturday nights, while the holiday Reps tend to party on Wednesday night. Bear in mind that Nightlife tends to kick-off later in Spain and many bars won’t get busy until well after midnight – don’t worry though, some of the Disco-bars in Centro Comercial Papayago are open until 6am!
