La Gomera is nature in its purest form: leafy woodlands, rugged ravines, cliffs of impossible shapes and villages that have conserved their most ancient traditions so as to offer you a different kind of holiday. An island of footpaths, hamlets and secret spots of incalculable ecological value. The island offers you all the charm of a welcoming land giving you your greatest experience of rural tourism.

Closely related to the discovery of America and Columbus' voyages of discovery, the island awaits you with spots that are redolent of history, such as the Torre del Conde, but, above all, with its unforgettable natural treasures.

Discover the Garajonay National Park, declared a World Heritage site by UNESCO in 1986, and its laurel woodland, a dream-like forest which once covered the entire Mediterranean basin and is considered today to be a true living fossil.

Its respect and love for tradition make La Gomera an ideal location for exploration. Only here, will you be able to get to know its traditional whistling language with which the Gomerans once used to communicate with each other across the vast open spaces of their intricate geography; its traditional fiestas full of individual flavour and cuisine that feature unique dishes, such as the water cress soup or "palm tree honey", an exquisite delicacy made from the 'guarapo' (the name used for the sap of the palm tree on the island).

Viewed from the sea, an amazing sight is 'Los Órganos', a spectacular cliff face created by lava, which erosion has uncovered as gigantic pipes of a striking organ which plunges into the deep, thus creating the most incredible underwater landscapes.

On La Gomera, you can relax in top quality accommodation and enjoy some magnificent golfing days in a dream-like setting close to small beaches of enormous beauty.
