Bancal Hotel & Spa

Opening in 2024, the newly inaugurated Bancal Hotel & Spa on La Gomera impresses with its modern design, terraced grounds, and stunning sea views. Where once a tomato plantation thrived, today stands the Bancal, harmoniously integrated into the surroundings with privileged views of the neighbouring island of Tenerife and Mount Teide.

The hotel offers ideal conditions for a relaxed break on La Gomera, while also providing easy access to the island's capital and the lush national parks of La Gomera. Additionally, Bancal Hotel & Spa embraces a contemporary sustainability concept with its own photovoltaic systems and innovative wastewater and energy-saving systems.

Located in the heart of the Atlantic Ocean, less than 50 minutes by ferry from Tenerife, La Gomera remains a largely undiscovered gem of the Canary Islands. Small, wild, and authentic, this island is a true sanctuary of tranquility, nature, and tradition.

The Garajonay National Park, located in the centre of the island, is perfect for hiking and nature activities with its lush laurel forests, numerous ravines, and rugged mountain slopes. The picturesque Playa de Ávalo, with a 220m wide pebble beach, is about 2 km north of the hotel and is pleasantly accessible on foot. Protected by two rock walls, the bay is sheltered from strong winds and offers ideal bathing conditions and a place for relaxation, especially in the summer months. The charming centre of San Sebastián de la Gomera is about 5 km away, and the port about 6 km. The hotel's own shuttle bus takes you to the city centre twice daily (approx. £4.40 / USD $5.40 per trip, pre-booking required). To explore the island, renting a car is recommended.
