Playa Paraiso is a purpose built resort on the west coast of Tenerife between Playa de las Americas and Callao Savaje. It is a small friendly resort built around a deep rocky inlet. Although its name translates as Paradise Beach, Playa Paraiso does not have a beach at all. Instead, there is a salt water lido in the centre of the complex.
