Guests and visitors entering Bahía del Duque are surprised to discover its outstanding garden, a world where nature thrives. Located in the heart of the Atlantic, this fantastic hotel is the home of an authentic paradise with more than 63,000 square metres of fascinating tropical and subtropical vegetation that adorns every corner of the premises.
A botanical garden
Since 1993, our landscaping staff have worked to convert what began as a simple green space into a lush botanical garden where plants native to the Canary Islands grow in harmony with others from around the globe. The biodiversity found here, with over 300 species of plants, creates a unique bioclimate that makes the place an oasis of tranquillity and vitality.
A walk through Bahía del Duque’s gardens is a journey for the senses on which visitors discover majestic Canarian palm trees of up to 20 meters, impressive dragon trees, Indian laurels, figs, jacarandas and royal poincianas, the flowers of which fill the garden with breath-taking colour. There are also diverse species of fruit trees, aromatic plants, cactuses and European species that have adapted perfectly to the climate of the Canary Islands. Each has been lovingly selected and cared for to create a constantly evolving landscape that invites visitors to reconnect with nature and to leave their cares behind.
The botanical riches that prosper in this special place are only comparable to the sensation of peace. The gardens’ winding paths are the perfect setting for long walks that delight visitors’ eyes and nourish their souls. This natural space, filled with life and growth bathed in sunlight, is a sanctuary for revitalisation and tranquillity.
Sustainability as a cornerstone
Bahía del Duque prioritises sustainability, and its gardens are vital to its environmental commitment. They add to the beauty of the surroundings and are important carbon sinks that help reduce the hotel’s carbon footprint and contribute to the fight against climate change. Furthermore, the gardens have become a natural haven for species of fauna such as waterhens, hoopoes, ducks, swans and diverse migratory birds that have found a safe refuge here. This way, Bahía del Duque is a paradise for its guests and the thriving wildlife within this unique ecosystem.
Throughout the hotel’s gardens, there is a sense of history, evolution and deep respect for nature. Every season, Bahía del Duque embraces its commitment to maintaining a wellness sanctuary where Indigenous and foreign flora unite to create a unique sensorial experience. In this modern-day Garden of Eden, luxury goes beyond mere comfort to provide visitors with an opportunity to immerse themselves in natural surroundings that are as lush and vibrant as the sensations they awaken.
