A garden, many spaces

The symbiosis of the wide plant variety of the botanical garden, with the space and the structures presented in the hotel, have managed to create over the whole complex a set of different spaces that are interrelated.

On the first floor terrace, with spacious sunny areas, it is possible to see a rich collection of plant species such as, canarian endemic, Euphorbia canariensis, “seat of mother-in-law”  one of the most popular cactus, as well as Aloe vera. Meanwhile in the aquatic environment, two bridges serve as binding footpaths that surround it; where the contemplation of the goldfish or the elegant movement of black swans on the surface of the lagoon, merges the visitor with the nature that surrounds it.
