Map & location
Tazacorte, La Palma, Canary Islands, Spain
Tucked into the historic heart of Tazacorte, Hotel Hacienda de Abajo sits among colourful townhouses and banana plantations on La Palma’s sunny west coast. This area enjoys some of the highest sunshine hours in Europe, with views stretching down towards the Atlantic and the port’s black‑sand bay.
Step out to find traditional Canarian eateries and cafés within a few minutes’ walk, or head down to the coastal promenade at Puerto de Tazacorte for fresh fish restaurants and laid‑back bars overlooking the ocean. Inland, La Palma’s dramatic ravines, hiking trails and miradores are within easy reach by car or organised excursion, making the hacienda an atmospheric base for exploring the island’s wild landscapes by day and its famously starry skies by night.

Facilities
Pool & outdoors
The hotel’s outdoor freshwater pool sits within manicured gardens and towering palms, creating a calm, almost secret‑garden feel. Sunbeds and parasols line the terrace, and complimentary pool towels are provided, so you can pack lighter. It’s a lovely spot for a mid‑morning dip or a quiet read between explorations.
There is no beach directly at the hotel, but the black‑sand bay at Puerto de Tazacorte is around 2km away, with a sheltered swimming area and a promenade lined with bars and restaurants. Local buses, taxis or a short drive make it easy to combine days in the town with time by the ocean.

Resort insights – Tazacorte, La Palma
Tazacorte is a sun‑drenched town draped down the hillside to its photogenic port, known for rainbow‑painted houses, banana plantations and more sunshine hours than almost anywhere else in Europe. Down by the harbour you’ll find a broad black‑sand beach, scuba centre and boat trips for dolphin‑spotting or coastal cruising, plus excellent fish restaurants lining the waterfront promenade.
La Palma loves a fiesta – Tazacorte hosts the colourful Love Festival, an LGBTQ+ celebration with music and parades, and the much‑loved Caballos Fufos festival each September. Away from town, explore miradores like Mirador de Las Hoyas for sweeping views, hike ravines and laurel forests, or visit quirky attractions such as the local banana museum.
