Tenerife warns UK tourists over problem that's happening 'every night'

UK tourists have been warned over one part of Tenerife becoming a party hotspot - despite locals fuming. Locals in the Palm Mar residential area of Arona in the south of Tenerife, are complaining over increasing noise disturbances and nightly "botellones".

They claimed that the area is starting to resemble Veronicas, the well-known party hotspot in Playa Las Americas. These disturbances, which they claim are happening "every night," have left residents feeling "forced" to endure the rising volume in the European Union holiday destination and hotspot.

Experts and local residents warned UK holidaymakers there has been a sharp rise in reports of issues at nighttime, including street drinking, fights, and accumulated trash, with loud parties lasting until the early hours of the morning, in a blow to local residents.

It has sparked a "dramatic shift in the neighbourhood," Canarian Weekly reports, "which was originally planned as a residential, non-tourist area according to the local urban planning documents", according to the domestic news outlet.

The Technical Office of the Arona City Council has confirmed that the aparthotel operates on a plot licensed for collective housing. But local residents believe this shift toward tourism has disrupted their community.

It comes with UK holidaymakers being urged to keep the Canary Islands on their travel radar - despite rising tensions and anti-tourist protests sweeping across popular destinations like Tenerife. The Canaries includes Lanzarote and Gran Canaria alongside Tenerife, with the trio some of the most popular holiday hotspots and islands in the entire continent as Brits try to flock abroad for a sun-kissed hotspot.

Some critics have warned unless the influx of tourists to the Canaries is curbed, the region could face a "systemic collapse" in the island. Complaints have been ongoing, as locals demand action to restore the peace and residential character of Palm Mar.
