If you’re looking for an affordable plant packed paradise close to the beach then book a break at El Botanico, a stylish rural retreat located in Guatiza in the north of the island.

Part of a 300 year old finca and boasting an idyllic and tranquil edge of village location, El Botanico offers totally private and independent accommodation in a fully renovated former finca. Featuring plenty of mod cons such as free WiFi and Smart TV in stylish and comfortable surroundings along with plenty of rare plants in totally private tropical garden 

The outdoor space comprises a number of different chill out zones, in both sun and shade, as well as some unique and quirky personal touches. Such as an old up-cycled tree trunk, rescued from a barranco in Haria, now in use as a stunning outdoor glass topped table. And a pebble base outdoor shower, which provides welcome relief from the rays in this south facing sun trap.

El Botanico is just a few minutes drive from the stunning beach at Arrieta and a short stroll from the Cactus Garden. And from the end of May onwards offers accommodation for two people from just 450 a week. You can find  more information here.
