Hotel Jardin Tecina

The Hotel Jardín Tecina is a 4-star Adults-Only hotel in Playa de Santiago on La Gomera, one of the most unspoilt Canary Islands of Spain. Far from the mass tourism of the larger neighbouring islands, the adults hotel sits atop cliffs above the Atlantic and offers a stillness that can still genuinely be found on La Gomera.

The infinity pool with direct sea views lies at the centre of the child-free resort, you swim literally at the edge of the coast. Anyone seeking recovery will find it in the in-house spa with massage offerings or in the fitness area; anyone who wants to stay active uses the 18-hole Tecina Golf course with panoramic sea views or sets off from the property onto the surrounding hiking trails through La Gomera's laurel forests. The restaurant begins the day with a breakfast buffet, while the bar & lounge provides the perfect setting for the evening. All rooms and suites feature a balcony or terrace, and you can scarcely escape the sound of the Atlantic. Among the wellness hotels for adults in the Canaries, the Jardín Tecina in Playa de Santiago is one of the quiet but convincing addresses.

The Adults-Only hotel is particularly suited to couples and solo travellers seeking a real time-out without children's commotion amid pristine nature. La Gomera is greener and quieter than Tenerife or Gran Canaria, anyone who has experienced this once comes back. Arrival is by ferry from Tenerife; parking is available at the hotel.
