Holidays to La Gomera focus on its stunning landscapes, peaceful and serene atmosphere and unspoilt natural beauty.

Located between Tenerife and La Palma, the island is a world away from its livelier, more commercial neighbours in the Canary Islands, with holidays in La Gomera ideal for those looking to unwind and relax, take plenty of nature walks and experience a taste of traditional Canarian culture, with all its charming customs, such as the famous whistling form of communication used by the locals.

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.

The two main tourist destinations of La Palma are Los Cancajos in the east, and Puerto Naos in the west. Both offer fine lava sandy beaches, with plenty of watersports on the beach at Los Cancajos, and a wide selection of accommodation options.

The most developed resort on La Palma, Los Cancajos offers the liveliest nightlife on the island, which is still very low-key when compared to other islands.

Puerto Naos is perhaps the sunniest resort on La Palma,an original fishing village boasting the longest beach on the island, a stretch of black sand running for 500m along the coastline.

On the most southern most tip of La Palma is the town of Fuencaliente, the heavily volcanic region, home to seven volcanoes, the most recent of which, Teneguia, erupted in 1971. This area is the major wine-producing area on La Palma, and another popular scuba-diving haunt.

The capital of La Palma, Santa Cruz, is a colonial city with a lively port, and its charming palm-tree lined streets contain a wealth of well-preserved 16th century architecture. Santa Cruz is a rich cultural city, housing some impressive art collections, and interesting museums.
