Rent a Car for Parador de La Gomera

Drive to Parador Nacional La Gomera from Tenerife Ferry or Airport

The Parador de La Gomera, also known as Parador La Gomera or Parador Nacional La Gomera, is a stunning hilltop hotel in San Sebastián de La Gomera, Canary Islands, Spain. Surrounded by tropical gardens with panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean, Tenerife, and dramatic cliffs, it's the perfect base for hiking Garajonay National Park, discovering volcanic trails, and enjoying authentic Canarian cuisine. Booking La Gomera stays at this iconic Parador is easy via their official site (paradores.es/en/parador-de-la-gomera), but getting there independently requires planning—especially with a rental car for island exploration.
