The best places to meet singles in Tenerife are Mojos y Mojitos Anaga, El Hombre Bala, and Bambú Lounge Bar. Go on a Thursday, Friday or Saturday evening, when they are at their liveliest and it is easiest to start a conversation.
Unlike most holiday islands, Tenerife does not shut down in winter. Almost a million people live here, the university town of La Laguna and the capital Santa Cruz have a local nightlife all year, and the warm south is busy with visitors from autumn to spring as well as in summer.
These ten places are real and were checked in October 2026: local bars in Santa Cruz and La Laguna, a historic market, beach clubs and a catamaran trip in the south, and a club on the Veronicas Strip. Pick the north for a local crowd and the south for an international one.
