About Hotel Jardin Tecina & Tecina Golf
Hotel Jardín Tecina is a unique resort experience in the Canary Islands.
Located in the tranquil locality of Playa Santiago, it lies atop a spectacular cliff, nestling in the midst of a magical and indescribable space. So much more than just accommodation on La Gomera, where to enjoy a unique combination of nature, sport, relaxation and leisure.
Located on the hill of Lomada de Tecina, the course overlooks the blue ocean waters. In the words of its designer, leading British architect and writer Donald Steel, it is “the most exciting and challenging project I have ever designed and built. It is unusual because you have to climb up to the first teeing ground, and then it is downhill all the way. The views are breathtaking”.
The 18 Tecina Golf holes overlooking the sea measure a total of 6,343 metres from the white tees, and it is a par 71 golf course.
Fairways and greens are surrounded by a profusion of native Canary Islands vegetation, such as Canary Island spurge cactus and tabaiba shrubs, and trees bearing such fruits as banana, avocado and mango, each giving off its characteristic aroma.
