The Parador de la Palma is located in an area of great natural beauty, overlooking the sea near to Santa Cruz de la Palma, the island’s capital, close to the airport.
The Parador’s bright building features traditional Canarian flourishes like the wooden balconies than can be found throughout the island. Rooms are decorated in a traditional style providing a comfortable setting and many feature large windows and balconies. The Parador de La Palma’s high-set locations offers spectacular views across the sea and along the coast, and its gardens are filled with a wealth of indigenous flowering plants and native fruit trees.
This quiet spot is the perfect place to relax and enjoy the Parador’s facilities such as the seasonal outdoor pool, sauna and wonderful gardens. The Parador’s spacious restaurant features many typical Canary Island dishes and free exterior parking means you can hire a car and explore all that this lovely island has to offer.
The island of La Palma offers not only its beautiful black sand beaches, but also some outstanding natural scenery, especially in the mountainous Caldera de Taburiente (Taburiente crater) in the north of the island, which is a National Park. Hikers will also want to explore the historic irrigation channels carved into the rock over the centuries, a remarkable feature of the island. La Palma is home to over 70 native plants including its distinctive Dragon Trees and, like its sister islands, much of the surface is made up of volcanic rock. The island is home to many volcanoes, the most famous being the Tacante volcano which had a large eruption in 1490, shortly before the island officially succeeded to Spanish conquerors. The island’s location and preserved national parks mean that pollution levels are low and, as such, its skies offer fantastic stargazing potential – one of the most popular activities on the island. The Observatorio del Roque de Los Muchachos is situated on the edge of the Caldera de Taburiente situated 2,396 metres above sea level. The observatory is home to one of the largest collections of telescopes in the world and is a huge attraction for scientists worldwide. Various companies offer guided tours of the observatory and stargazing trips. Its year-round mild temperatures, great seaside location, and stunning natural beauty make this a perfect island getaway.
