La Palma Holidays

Although often overshadowed by its neighbour Canary Islands, don’t be fooled. La Palma is considered one of the Atlantic’s best-kept secrets,  its landscapes are volcanic, its sand spots black and its 46.9 square kilometres of pine forest is full of natural wonders.

Holidays to La Palma are year-round, with temperatures rarely dipping below 20°C, making it a tropical oasis for beach lovers. This under-the-radar island is one of the best destinations in the world for stargazing – in fact, UNESCO declared the entire country a World Biosphere Reserve for its idyllic vistas.

Make the most of your surroundings in Brena Baja, your all-access pass to the island’s rolling hills and rugged peaks. Or explore the underwater world in Los Cancajos, where Blue Flag shores tempt you into the ocean. Regardless of the resort you choose, this archipelago island will impress.
