Open until 5 am on weekends and past 1 am every other night, this swanky tropical nightclub playing a mix of pop and DJ music draws a local crowd of revelers ages 25 and up. The palm-lined outdoor terrace, with music and its own bar, is one of the city's top see-and-be-seen spots in the summer. Dress to impress (no shorts, sandals, or tanks).

Shimmy—and twerk, if you want—at this tiki-inspired rooftop discoteca that attracts a young local crowd. Sunday nights are reserved for Latin (salsa, bachata, and more) dance parties.

Slurping down a strawberry daiquiri at the gay-friendly Eiffel Bar is a rite of passage on the Playa del Inglés nightlife circuit; every cocktail comes with a complimentary bowl of peanuts and marshmallows.

Staff at this popular tiki joint will happily get you buzzed on flamboyantly garnished cocktails.
