Hotel Jardin Tecina & Tecina Golf
La Gomera, Canary Islands, Spain
****
Located in Playa de Santiago in the South of La Gomera, Tecina Resort is situated on the Lomada de Tecina, an area with spectacular views over the Atlantic Ocean, coast of Tenerife and Mount Teide.
Hotel Jardin Tecina is built on a hillside, designed in true Canarian style and surrounded by paths bordered with beautiful gardens with colourful flora and fauna. The rooms and suites are made up of traditional bungalows which are situated on two levels in small clusters around the resort. Peace, serenity and harmony are some of the sensations that you will experience in this safe unknown area of the Canary Islands. At Tecina Golf they have taken special care to preserve the natural beauty of the island. Golfers can see the ocean from every spot on the golf course, which blends into a fantastic landscape that is a pleasure to the eye. To reach La Gomera you fly into Tenerife South Airport, and then get the Fred Olsen Fast Ferry from Port Los Cristianos to Port San Sebastain (50 minutes ferry crossing), followed by a 40-minute drive from San Sebastain to Tecina Resort. All of which adds to the excitement of this tranquil island.

Inspiration
Carolyn Scott writes…
“The viewing deck from the ferry gave us as an amazing glimpse of the scale of La Gomera, the sun glinting off the Atlantic Ocean then the stark and imposing volcanic landmass, rising 1500 meters from sea level. Dotted sparsely with lush forest then interspersed with rocky and barren gorges. We had chosen to hire a car at Tenerife South Airport and driven to Los Cristianos port but taxis are easily available at the airport or at both ends of the ferry journey to enable you to get to the hotel. Once docked in the port of San Sebastian, the Hotel Jardin Tecina & Tecina Golf is approximately 40 minutes drive toward the small town of Playa de Santiago. A bit of a roller-coaster ride, with spectacular views through deep ravines tiered with palm trees and almost lunar expanses of rocky plateau.”
