Small-town charm
Nestled on the south coast of the small island of La Gomera, Playa de Santiago is a laid back former fishing village surrounded by delightful natural views. The subtropical forests and cliffs provide a beautiful backdrop, while the golden sands and crystal clear waters of the Atlantic are at the heart of the town’s activity. This is the perfect place for active couples or families wanting to explore, or simply relax and enjoy the serene atmosphere of the island.
Hiking, watersports, and biking are available for explorers wanting to immerse themselves in the surrounding landscapes, while there are plenty of other sights to explore nearby. San Sebastian de La Gomera, the island’s capital, is just a 45-minute drive away, and is ideal for those wanting to explore on their Playa de Santiago holidays. Here you’ll find the pretty squares and narrow streets traditional of old Spanish towns, quaint churches and a museum dedicated to the explorer Christopher Columbus.
There are plenty of opportunities to relax on luxury holidays in Playa de Santiago. This pretty former fishing village is surrounded by subtropical forests and overlooks the beautiful Atlantic. The harbour is where most of the activity is centred, with a selection of excellent restaurants and cafés, where you can enjoy spectacular cuisine as you watch the little fishing boats. Alternatively, take your own boat trip and explore the coastline from a different angle. You’ll see little coves and quiet stretches of golden sands, as well as many varieties of fish below the surface – ideal for keen divers and snorkelers.

Flight time from the UK to Tenerife is around 4 hours 30 minutes. From here, it's a 40-minute ferry crossing to La Gomera.
Like the rest of the Canaries, La Gomera is a year-round beach destination. Temperatures rarely dip below the late teens, even in winter. April and May starts heating up for summer, which reaches its peak in July and August – often in the 30s.
Currently visas are not required for UK citizens travelling to Spain.
Restaurant bills include a service charge by law in Spain, so whether you choose to tip further is up to you. If you enjoyed the meal and service, it is customary to leave 5-10%. Hotel porters and maids will appreciate a small tip, and while taxi drivers don’t require a tip, it’s common to round up the fare.
The official language of Spain is Spanish. English is widely spoken too, so getting by is easy.
We've been finding people their own slice of paradise for 50 years, and like to think we're pretty good at it.
