Lago Martiánez / Casino Puerto de la Cruz

A dual entertainment complex combining one of the Canary Islands' most iconic architectural landmarks with a classic casino experience. The Lago Martiánez complex, designed by renowned Canarian artist and architect César Manrique in 1977, features a stunning complex of seawater swimming pools, tropical gardens, volcanic rock sculptures, terraces, and waterfalls spread over 33,000 m² directly on the Atlantic coast. By day (10 AM–7 PM), it operates as a premium leisure complex. By night, the complex and its surrounding area transform into a sophisticated entertainment hub with the Casino Puerto de la Cruz (one of only three casinos in Tenerife), offering American roulette, blackjack, poker, and slot machines (entry requires passport/ID, minimum age 18, smart casual dress code). The casino's restaurant and bar serve cocktails and dining with ocean views. Additionally, the complex hosts occasional outdoor concerts and cultural events in its amphitheater setting. The surrounding area of Puerto de la Cruz offers a more mature and relaxed nightlife compared to the south: cocktail terraces along Avenida de Colón, live music bars in the old town (Calle de La Hoya, Calle Mequinez), and the traditional 'Baile de Magos' (farmers' dance) events. Best for visitors seeking entertainment without the intensity of the southern club scene. Average age: 30+. Entry to Lago Martiánez: €5.50 adults. Casino Puerto de la Cruz open daily 8 PM–4 AM (until 5 AM weekends).
