Tenerife South has no metro and no tram. You walk, you take a TITSA bus (locals call it a guagua), or you take a taxi. All three work at night if you know the limits. The walking times below were measured on OpenStreetMap street routes on 8 October 2026; the bus details come from the TITSA timetables we checked the same day.

Buses at night
TITSA line 711 is the night service. Route: Santa Cruz bus station, the TF-1 motorway, Tenerife South airport, Los Cristianos and Costa Adeje bus station. It runs every day, through the night, and the full run takes about ninety minutes. It is the bus that solves a late flight and the bus that gets you to Santa Cruz for Carnival.
TITSA line 467 is the local line along the strip: Costa del Silencio, Las Galletas, Guaza, Los Cristianos, San Eugenio, Costa Adeje bus station and La Caleta. It runs on weekdays and weekends with late services shown into the early hours; some of the last runs end short of the full route, so check the stop you need before you rely on it.
By day, line 40 links Costa Adeje bus station, Los Cristianos and the airport, and line 111 covers Santa Cruz, the airport and Costa Adeje. At the airport, check your line's stop on its TITSA timetable. TITSA's information line is +34 922 531 300.
The all-night bus
Line 711 runs every day, through the night, calling at the airport, Los Cristianos and Costa Adeje.
Taxis
Taxis in the south run on a meter. At the airport the rank is at the terminal (floor 0, arrivals), and the airport's own advice is to take a taxi only from the signed rank and to ask for a receipt. We have not found an official fare table online, so we do not publish prices; if a club or the ticket page states a fare, that is the figure to trust.
The airport run
Tenerife South (TFS) is the airport for all of this. Driving distances we measured: about 18 km to Playa de Los Cristianos, 19.5 km to Papagayo and 21 km to Playa del Duque, all around twenty minutes on the TF-1 with no traffic. By bus, line 40 by day and line 711 at night both stop at Los Cristianos and Costa Adeje; line 711 is the one for late arrivals. Line 343 connects the two airports directly in fifty minutes if you land in the north.
A rule for each zone
Playa de las Américas: walk everywhere, no exceptions. Costa Adeje south of Puerto Colón: walk there, walk back. Costa Adeje north of Puerto Colón: walk there, taxi back. Los Cristianos: walk to WILD, taxi or line 467 to everything else, line 711 for the airport.
Now pick the night. The week planner shows what is on; the venue pages have the exact address for your taxi driver.
