Just an alternative

Indeed, the Puerto Playa Jardin garden oasis can't compete with the historic gardens of Babylon or Semiramis but, are spectacular nevertheless.

Yes, those Puerto gardens with all their beach resources were man made. Today, most of their trees and palms up a very proud show. They grew strong and tall and gently dance with the winds under the sky. Their neighborhood prides itself of Loro Park, renown fish restaurants of Punta Brava village, luxury Apartment buildings at Bahia Park, sports arenas, a huge banana plantation, hotels, Seapoint Punta Gorda and a castle fortress called Castillo San Felipe.

Garden beach

Those gardens gave the name garden beach to Playa Jardin. The most important about them is that they are blending in perfectly with their surroundings. It was a mammoth task to tackle their size of 17000 m2 on up to four and five partly staggered levels. All this is there today for tourists and locals to use, thanks to the late environmental expert César Manrique from Lanzarote's and Tenerife's oldest resort.

One of their most popular spot is on their main veranda. It's big enough to cater for small festivals. You can even access with a wheelchair. Watch the sun go down over the ocean and enjoy food and drink. Then, explore almost hidden trails of the gardens However, wherever you venture, a window to the sea always opens up.

Varied retaining walls

Their landscaping is done on and around rocks and on terraces with different retaining walls by brilliant landscape design ideas using volcanic rocks and natural stones. That way, hanging gardens became a total success on steep slopes by a beach side.
