Overview

 
Escape to the tranquil charm of Hotel Hacienda de Abajo, a characterful boutique hideaway on sun‑kissed La Palma. Housed in a lovingly restored 17th‑century sugar estate, this adults‑oriented gem is filled with art, antiques and Canarian heritage. Wander through fragrant botanical gardens, relax by the palm‑shaded pool and retreat to elegant rooms that feel more like a private residence than a hotel. With a small spa, refined dining and a peaceful, grown‑up ambience, it’s a wonderful choice for couples seeking somewhere genuinely special and a little bit different from the mainstream Canary Islands resorts.

Think terracotta‑tiled roofs, banana plantations and bougainvillea‑draped walls, all wrapped around an old hacienda that looks straight from a film set. Hotel Hacienda de Abajo feels more like a private historic estate than a typical resort, with original artworks, antiques and museum‑worthy pieces at every turn. Outside, botanical gardens burst with colour, while the serene pool and petite spa add just the right amount of indulgence after a day exploring La Palma’s volcanic landscapes and star‑filled skies. For couples seeking the Canary Islands’ authentic side, Hotel Hacienda de Abajo delivers a quietly luxurious base away from the big‑resort buzz. Set in laid‑back Tazacorte on La Palma’s warm, sunny west coast, it’s around 1 hour 5 minutes from La Palma (SPC) airport. You’re a short stroll from local bars and restaurants and a quick hop down to the black‑sand beach at the port. See more Canary Islands holidays.

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.
