La Palma holidays
Thought you knew all the Canary Islands? Think again! La Palma is the quiet soul of the Canaries, and while everyone flocks to the loud-and-proud islands, this dinky gem shines in its own way. Get ready to swap neon-lit nightlife for night skies dusted with stars and wild waterparks for winding woodland walks. Sleepy seaside villages and resorts like Los Cancajos and Puerto Naos offer black-sand beaches and peaceful promenades, while the capital Santa Cruz charms with its cobbled streets and colonial-style buildings. And at the heart of it all? The volcanic landscape that promises epic hikes and postcard-perfect panoramas. Oh, and did we mention it’s also a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve with 19 protected natural spots bursting with pine forests, ravines, waterfalls and even a giant volcanic caldera? Experience nature at its most beautiful here.
La Palma resorts
Los Cancajos
Welcome to Los Cancajos, where bright blue water contrasts beautifully with the bay’s deep black sand – it looks like it’s been plucked straight from a postcard!
Puerto Naos
Life in Puerto Naos centres around its beach, which happens to be the longest on the island and backed by towering palm trees, restaurants and bars.
Tazacorte
This sun-blessed town in the west of the island is spread across the hillside and the port, offering a gorgeous beach, top-notch fish restaurants and a historic centre.

A leisurely pace of life
There’s nowhere more go-slow than the lovely island of La Palma. Down by the shore, days tick by to the rhythm of the waves, while up in the hills, the pine-scented breeze sets the pace. Ready to dine? Lazy lunches filled with platters of seafood, flavoursome meats and plenty of vino await.
The paths of La Palma
Whether you’re hiking, biking or strolling along the seafront, on this island, all paths lead to beauty. The famous Route of the Volcanoes is a firm favourite due to its variety of diverse flora and fauna, as well as the panoramic views of the island. It’s easy to see where this place got its nickname La Isla Bonita!
Local flavours
Fresh fish, chickpea stew and grilled pork are menu staples here, but traditional dishes such as chicharrones with natural cheese are what really show off the local flavours of the island. Don’t leave without trying something sweet – this sugar-loving isle is known for rapadura, AKA a conically shaped pud.
Beaches
It’s all about the black-sand beaches here – inky-hued grains, azure waters and beautiful backdrops. Lay your towel down on Los Cancajos Beach where the waves are gentle and ideal for snorkelling. Or head to Puerto Naos, the island’s biggest beach that’s been flying the Blue Flag since 2007.
