Why choose Playa de Santiago?
It is clear that Playa de Santiago does not have the charm of small towns or old fishing villages: it is essentially a tourist resort, whose boundaries have been reshaped by impressive investments in the hotel industry (made largely by the Fred. Olsen company itself).
Nevertheless, Playa de Santiago has defied the stereotypes of an intrusive and inauthentic tourism, which for too many years has characterized the Canarian archipelago, and now presents itself as a welcoming and friendly town, aided by a mild climate year-round. Not surprisingly, this location is increasingly chosen by people from all over the world, who decide to move permanently to this little corner of paradise.
What to do in Playa de Santiago?
Playa de Santiago beach is close to all services and here you can find the best restaurants and bars in the area. It is also renowned for sports activities, such as diving, snorkeling, and kayaking.
If you are an avid golfer, you will have the Tecina course, the only one on the entire island of La Gomera, from which you can enjoy breathtaking views of the ocean and Teide!
If, on the other hand, you want to immerse yourself in nature, we recommend taking advantage of Playa Santiago as a base point for La Gomera's many treks, which offers more than 600 km of trails and paths!
