Book La Gomera holidays for an island hideaway far from the madding crowd, with spectacular canyons and villages happily ignoring the 21st century.

The clocks have barely moved since the time when Christopher Columbus was a regular visitor in the 15th century. The ancient forests of the high interior look almost prehistoric when veiled in mist. White cottages and farms speckle the green valleys like spilled sugar cubes, and only a handful of seaside hotels beckon visits from “overseas”.

Best of La Gomera holidays for...

  • Active types: Lace your boots up in Vallehermoso for a tramp through subtropical valleys and more hiking trails than you can shake a sturdy stick at.
  • Relaxing: Park your towel on the black sand beach of Valle Gran Rey, a resort more natural than neon and with more palms than people.
  • Romance: Take a romantic stroll through the mist-shrouded laurel forests of the Parque Nacional de Garajonay.
